Exactly! High end designers produce also in countries where there is a lower income, my thoughts also. Furthermore, the quality of designer products is not necessarily better because its a designer product or more expensive. It should be ofcourse, but its not always the case. You pay for the name and the exclusivity of the design, which IMO with designer stuff is most of the times more orginal and new. But dont be mistaken, in my opinion good and high quality products (which is not the same as designers products) can be produced anywhere, especially in China since there are many factories there with lots of expertise (and it can be produced for less money). I have not been there and I dont know if the working circumstances are bad, however I would not agree with that if I was the designer (not only morally but its als very bad advertising).

Congrats! You will love them, they're beautiful.
Thanks! I'm so excited! Of course they will arrive on Tuesday and I will be out of town until Friday so I will have wait a week before they are in my hot little hands... If I would have known I would have got expedited shipping to take them on my trip... such is life...
I haven't even received them yet and I'm already eyeing the blue bobby...
I'm not sure which color you want but Barney's has Bettys in stock!
I don't see them right now only bobby's. It's a little hard calling them because I'm in Europe :/ ... but thanks for your suggestion
I'll try that. Do you think they can reserve per email request?
I just can't believe that I can't find these. I'm in no shape sitting in front of my cpu for a whole day and checking sites.
Being almost 8,5 months pregnant doesn't help either. This frenzy is just so annoying. I just want to find them, add, click and buy them.

Ack, that is torture! But it'll be just that more exciting when you finally get your hands on them. The blue bobby is such a great color! Thank you for the heads up on Barney's (I'm surprised they have so much in stock still!), unfortunately I'd have to pay $51 sales tax since I live in CA
That's the only reason I'm still sticking with LaGarconne...until then I will have to wait patiently and admire from my computer! :cry:
I was able to order black bazil's today through Barneys store in Seattle. They are coming from Dallas. There are a few stores in the country that have them! Seattle only has size 7 & 9. I needed a 10. Call If you are a size 7 or 9!

June, I have both the Bekett and the Bobby wedges in the same size. My Bekett sneakers are a lot more comfortable than my Bobbys. The Beketts seem to have more cushioning. I have heel slippage with the Bobbys, and they are clunkier to walk in. Not sure if anyone else has the same issues. I love the versatile style, but I tend to grab the Beketts because they feel like walking on pillows!

i'm super closee to ordering Bobbys soon... how do they compare un size to the Bekett? I've heard that Beketts run smaller than Bobbys... What do you think? Thanks for your help!
Bobbys/Bettys: True to size and very comfortable. The low cut gives you legs for days! I find myself gravitating towards these most of the time.
Bekkets/Bazils: Run smaller - if you like wearing medium-thick socks, size up. I kept my usual size since I like wearing thin socks...they were a little tight in the toe area but have stretched out after a couple of wears and now fit perfectly. These definitely add a little something extra to your overall outfit & look! They also make your feet look smaller, surprisingly enough.
In terms of comfort, they're both amazing. I can walk around in either of them all day, it doesn't feel like you're wearing heels/wedges at all.
The Bobbys definitely run true to size, so order what you normally wear.
I would say they're both pretty TTS. The Beketts seem tight at first in the toes, but they will stretch to conform to your feet. I tried on the next larger size, and they were definitely too big. The Bobbys are less structured than the Beketts and are roomier. They have a strange gap on the sides, where the wedge is not attached to the leather. I think that gives them more width too.sep said:

Both styles are adorable. I do believe the Bobbys are more versatile and not necessarily as "sporty" looking as the Beketts. I can't wait to see your mod pics if you get them! What color are you considering?juneping said:
