I was thinking the exact same thing! I purchased mine from Barney's as well on Thursday and was sure my order would get cancelled. But then I got shipment confirmation and was shocked lol.. Now that I have the blue/back willows I'm debating whether or not I should keep them because of the color, especially after seeing all the amazing colors coming out in fall. I have the back ones as well as 3 pairs of Bobby's that I wear all the time and which are really easily coordinated with my wardrobe. I just can't hell to wonder if the blue and black willows will be easy to incorporate.

To anyone who has the blue black color way, do you find them easy to wear?

I just purchased 2 pairs of the Willows in the beige and Blue/Black colorways, and I, too, was apprehensive about the bright colors being a bit too much for myself, being in my 30's and a mom of 2. I was almost convinced that I would return them, but when I opened the box I was surprisingly pleased to find that the colors are a lot more mellow than they appeared online. The blue tongue is a bright royal blue, but the Blue, pink and bordeaux suede details are quite subdued. The color combination is stunning, and a very harmonious blend. Isabel Marant is a genius.

I have been wearing the blue/black willows for a week straight and have yet to break the beige ones out of the box! I have worn them with black leggings, leather pants, dark denim, light denim, shorts, and love the way they look. Very versatile and very beautiful.

I hope this helps. My advice would be to GO FOR IT!

Thanks for your advice! I know - love them! I must ask - where did you find your black willows and what other 2 colors do you have? If the multicolors - do you find them "easy" to wear? Thanks for your help!:D

I found a pair of black ones on eBay- which was difficult because there are so many fake ones. And the seller was in France- and therefore spoke French- which I do not. Thankfully Google translate came in handy.

I have a pair of the anthracite/bordeaux and a pair of the cream colored ones.

The multicolors are really easy wear- and this is coming from someone who tends to dress in all black.

May I ask you how much did you pay for them on ebay, because their prices are crazy...around 1000 to 1100 USD! And in the stores are 440 Euros. But too hard to find, especially when you dont have store in you country.

Don't quote me but I believe the Bekkets have a lower wedge then the Willows. The Willows have a 3.5 inch wedge and I *think* the Bekket's wedge is 2.5 inches???

I've contacted my SA to locate a pair of sneakers for me... i've been wanting them since they first came out and just decided to pull the trigger! Love all the new spring colors and hope they aren't sold out already because there is only one stockist of Isabel Marant shoes in my country and they have very limited sizes/styles...:wondering *wish me luck!*

...and I have one Q : what is the difference between the Bekett and Willow? Colors only?

Are they comfy? I really wish they didn't have a wedge.

It depends on whether u r used to wearing heels or not. I much prefer flats and sneakers with wedge is a radical paradigm shift for me in a way lol. I would say they are reasonably comfy, but I would not wear them for all day shopping or traveling. But they r definitely more comfy than high heels.

I've liked these since I saw the red/navy pair last year and finally wanting to take the plunge but have a few questions---was hoping the IM experts can help :smile1:

1) Are they all now made in Portugal?
2) I'm a US 5.5 to 6---Should I aim for 36 or 37?
3) What is difference between Bekket and Willow? They look similar but looks like the name changed over the past season?
4) I really want a dark/light two tone color way---ie: navy/cream but I think this type was mostly from previous season. SS12 looks multi-color. So tempted to buy these from Ebay---slight markup but still reasonable considering I can save on tax etc. Do they look real? I've never bought anything from Ebay. It said it comes in a NAP box but I guess that doesn't mean anything.

5) Anyone tried calling IM or Barney's etc recently? Is the waiting list so long that its laughable and a waste of time? I've seen a couple of returns on NAP and laGarconne---but nothing in my size .


THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!
