Foot Petal cushions for the ball of your foot + half socks! I've purchased both on Amazon and they work better than anticipated with the Princetowns. [emoji4]

I really like the 1/2 sock idea. Could you tell me which ones you got? Reading the reviews it seems some stay on better than others.
I'm so excited...I have been wanting the black leather Princetowns (no fur) for a while. I was hoping to find them in Europe to save a little. Periodically I check ebay (but hadn't gone so far as to set a search alert) and yesterday a very highly rated seller listed one pair, brand new, in my size (I hope) for $299! They come with the little foam protector still under the horsebit, the dust bags and the only flaw is the box is damaged. They should be here Monday. I spent the rest of the day reading all the posts here and getting outfit ideas on instagram!

Congrats. I love mine. They are so comfy.

I am going to have to try the foot petals for the ball of the feet. I use their arch supports in mine :smile:

Thank you :smile:
I need to wait until they arrive to see how they fit. I'm not sure I will have room for socks and foot pads. I tried a metallic fabric version in Paris that fit well..but can't remember the size! Darn! I do believe it was the size I just bought. Of course I'm itching to get what I need to rock them the minute they arrive! The ironic thing is yesterday I vowed not to shop for a while...then found the Princetowns. Sooo, today I ordered 3 pairs of pants from COS that I think will be great with them. Tsk, Tsk smh like I need more black pants.

Hi ladies, I've been lusting for a pair of princetowns and have gotten my eyes on the bloom pink ones. Unfortunately I'm unable to try them on at a store so would like your opinion on what size I should go for. It says true IT sizing but I've seen that some ladies have said to go up half a size. I've got quite narrow feet so am not sure if I should stick to my normal size of 38?

My true IT sizing is 1/2 over my US size, but what I usually wear in italian brands, such as Louboutin. Do you wear a US 38 or an italian 38?

I used to be a US 9.5 and an Italian & French 40 across the board for years. Then...about 10 years ago it seemed sizing went wonky and I varied in every designer, and with Louboutin I varied in every style (from 40-42!)
My recommendation is if possible to order 2 sizes from somewhere (or 2 places) that has free shipping & full credit returns (or a store near you you can take them back to), like Nordstroms or Saks. If one pair arrives before the other and they fit you can cancel the 2nd pair. This way you have your foot in the door for both before the print is retired. I realize this may not be possible...but if it is I highly recommend it.

Hi - sorry I'm just now seeing your request. These are the half socks. I love them and now can't bear to wear mules without them! They make a huge difference. Will also reply with link to the Foot Petals.

Link to Foot Petals "Tip Toes" cushion pads. Also available in different quantities and colors. I do not find that these crowd my feet at all, as the Princetowns have such a long vamp. They actually make them fit better.

I'm normally an EU 38 and never tried on IT sizing. I realized some ladies prefer to have the mules slightly larger at the back so that the heel isn't hanging out. But some mentioned that it runs too small like an inch too small

That's a good idea but issue is I don't think I'll be using the credit (if I were to return the second pair).

Believe an EU 38 would be italian sizing. French sizing runs smaller. I have found that my EU size is my princetown size. I have fur and non fur and different seasons and that has been my experience anyways.

Thanks for your advice! Would you pick the plain black leather or the canvas bloom in pink? I wanted something easy to match and my usual style is really plain, normally white black and grey
