Interesting... I tried a pair of brown Princetowns on in 38.5 and they were just a few millimeters too short. So I think I will have to change my preorder for the 39.5 to 39. I have narrow feet so maybe this is why... I felt like my feet could almost reach the front and I liked how snug and secure they felt on my foot. Torn between black and gold though! The black is certainly more practical but the gold is so shiny and pretty!
Gucci Princetown Mules (with and without fur) -does anyone have?

I'd say go for the Tian! The birds are so gorgeous and colourful. I don't wear a ton of blues so for me the blue blooms are less versatile.
My black Princetowns' preorder arrival date was pushed back to July 5. [emoji31] I have a bad feeling that will change once the 5th arrives. So impatient for these shoes.
Are many of you putting protective soles on the leather soles? I normally do for all my leather-soled shoes but in this case I'm not sure if I will!
Oh no, I hope you get them by that date! If not, let me know if you want me to check with my Holts Van SA to see if they're getting more for fall. She managed to snag one of the very last pairs for me a few months ago. Nordies Van is supposed to start carrying Gucci shoes in-store too and I can ask my SA there too.
I usually take my new shoes to the cobbler for protective soles right away, but didn't with the Princetowns for some reason. Maybe because the tan leather sole is just too pretty? But being paranoid of slipping/falling, I stuck self-adhesive non-slip soles that I got from a Daiso-type store. They come in a tan colour and include a small piece of fine grit sandpaper which you use to lightly rough up the leather soles to improve adhesion. So far, so good.
Thank you, that is very sweet. I should check Saks here, and Nordstrom's should be opening soon... The current preorder window is July 5-18. I should check Holt's today too, I have only really been to the Gucci boutique.
Yeah the tan leather sole is very pretty. But if they are slippery (I plan to wear these shoes a lot) I should probably get them soled.
I have a question....I have the black sling backs and they squeak when I walk in them!! Does this happen to any of you, and if so, how does one make it stop?! They're very comfortable, and definitely the right size, but the noise is distractingly loud when I'm walking in them!!
My mules do not squeak, but try shaking a little baby powder in your shoes. The squeaking will stop!
Make sure you get it into the seams around the insoles. Same thing often works on squeaky wood floors.
Gahhhh! My beauties are finally here!! So glad I went half size up for the Princetown's, 39's are perfect! These are soooo much more beautiful in person the colors punchy but slightly muted. These will go with basically everything! Seriously, even if just for that cheeky grille!!!
And the scarf is perfection! Can't wait to get it framed and hung in my living room! It's silk twill so for me it's perfect to frame as I'd be paranoid wearing it! Even more sad now that I missed out on the mini Dionysus! Having a serious love affair with this print! May have to splurge and get the medium. [emoji259][emoji219][emoji221][emoji216][emoji177]
