Isabel Marant hidden wedge sneaker

The bright blue Bobbys on Barney's are tempting - but I already have a pair of taupe Bobbys as well as both colors of Bettys. My favorite pair (by far) are the taupe Bobbys.

How does the size of the Bobby compare? I wear 7.5 US... Should I go for the 38 or 39?

i would go for the 38.
i am an 8.5 and both my bazil/bekket or betty/bobby are 39.

to follow up on my quest for the WHITE betty
i ended up calling up selfridges for an over-the-phone order and it has been somewhat an ordeal... according to them my order is confirmed (eventually) but i wont be getting any type of written confirmation?! uhm.. ok?!

...so i shall just be sitting at home and waiting for my white betty..hhhrmpfff

Definitely a 38 - they run true to Euro sizing. A 39 would most certainly be too big!

good luck on the white bettys.. i had them prordered at lagarconnes 2 weeks ago and cancelled them as I went for the taupe bobbys instead as it will go with my neutral wardrobe more...

I bought the taupe Bobby last season, and I love them. They definitely go with everything!

A few people advised me to go 39 FR for the Bazil (pre-ordered from La Garconne)... Do the Bobby's run bigger than the Bazil?

I think the Bobbys run bigger and a bit wider. Unless you are planning on wearing them with super super thick socks, I don't think you need to size up to a 39

Just got notice that my Bazils have shipped!!!!!!! They should be here Tuesday.... I definitely squealed when the email popped up.

Questions to those who own creme/ ecru colored sneakers:

Do you wash them??? It seems the creme gets dirty rather quickly, but I am scared to put them in the washing machine and screw them up completely.

no never washed them. i hardly ever wear them too and the white is slowly darkening. i have the same issue on all my last season beige bekkets/willow.

thanks so much for your help I will definitely look for the suede eraser!

Nooo, don't wash them in the washing machine! You will screw them up. You need to spray them with suede/leather protector. Spray them twice, once then let them dry for 30 minutes. Then spray them again. Do this every 6 months and they keep looking great!

If you already got them dirty you might want to try suede brush and "eraser" thingy. I forget the brand but I bought mine at Nordstroms, in the shoe department.

ETA: The Brand is called "Synovia," Suede and Nubuck Cleaning System. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/synovia-suede-nubuck-kit/2865094

I know right, they jsut get darker and I can't walk around with my shoes looking dirty:/

Steve Madden has no shame. How is he :censor: getting away with this?

I do not know but I wish he would put his ugly logo on the outside of them so you can tell the difference.

These are what I saw at Nordstrom- stupid Steve Madden! >:/

yuck. Steve Madden sure makes a lot of money from ripping off other designers. Like the copycat Loeffler Randall boots - though his look so much cheaper.
