I really LOVE these. How versatile are they? By versatile I mean practical. I have no fear of wearing show stopping shoes but what do you wear them with? And how often can you wear them without getting them dirty? Thanks!
Unfortunately my shoe choices are rarely practical! They are leather, so I can wipe them clean but I have to be careful of the weather obviously. They work best, in my opinion, with jeans and cropped black pants, so that is pretty much how I have worn them.

Thanks! I think I'm going to get them. If I don't, I'll regret it. They have my size now. Thanks for "enabling" me [emoji173]
 
Has anyone tried to remove the elastic on the slingback Princetown style? I would obviously take to a professional to do so but want to know if there are any horror or win stories about it? Do you think it's possible

I'm not sure about removing it - but personally I would keep the straps. I have the regular Princetowns and feel like I have to grip my toes when I walk sometimes so they dont slip off (I have really narrow feet though). Why do you want to remove them?

I was the same as you too and now I'm obsessed. I have the plain black pair and am dying for it to warm up again so I can wear them. With that being said, I'm going to go against the others and say that if you can find the black with the embroidered rose (I think that is the pair you are referring to) get them! They're so hard to find and soooo cute. I kind of wish I'd started with that pair, although you cannot go wrong with the plain black pair either.

Finally ordered my Princetown mules last evening!! They are the black with fur. ;) So excited.
 
Has anyone had their princetowns professionally stretched by a shoe cobbler? I seriously hate my wide feet! I already half sized up from my true shoe size and there is about an inch between where my toe is and the end of the shoe. So I have heel overhang atm which I kind of don't like, but going up another half size would look too long. I just need it to stretch in the width so my foot can move forward a little. I got them at a semi good price so I'm motivated to make them work haha!

I've had shoes stretched in the past and it's always worked for me. I would take them in, I think it will help.

I've had Jordaan loafers professionally stretched. I assume you did't buy them at Gucci but if so, they stretch for free. After a couple of wearings mine felt
very comfortable Can't hurt to try!

I will take them in! I didn't buy from Gucci, I purchased them from Matches. My brixton loafers were tight to begin with but because the leather is so soft on those they stretched out naturally. I've actually been wanting to get my hands on the slingbacks for ages! I am waiting to see if I can still get those otherwise if not I'll just keep these.
