They have incredible customer service and got me the shoes as soon as they were released! I will forever be a dedicated Net a Porter client.
Hey everyone: Any idea where I can get red Bobby's in size 41? TIA
retrofaxie said:i pre ordered the denim bekett in a 39, but i am worried. i have the anthracite bekett in a 38 and they are a bit snug, but i have only worn them once for like 2 hours with a very thin socks which made them fell better than when i try them on without socks. in the bobby i am a 38, and a regular shoes 7.5 sometimes 8, so i am not sure if the 39 will be too big. so should i try to go back and switch my size to the 38? thanks.

Depending on the reviews I have read before I expected them to be TTS but they run big (for me, at least). I went a full size down from my usual sneaker size.
*excuse the gigantic pics*:shame:

so now are people going to ask me if i am wearing the real or fake ones?

actually i experienced it today! i was at Nordstroms today trying on some nike's and the sales girl say's "oh you have the steve maddens." i was so irritated......... i cancelled my 2 pre-orders at lagarconne, but now 5 deep into my collection i'm kinda discouraged now....
Omg!! I would be so pissed.I hate that the average joe is more likely going to come in contact with the Steve Madden pair and as it is hardly any non-fashionistas know who Isabel Marant is...
This is majorly upsetting. I would hate for anyone to think I'm wearing a knock-off.![]()
Agree...even Target has this sneaker...and it looks pretty good in person...can't do anything about it...they've been out for a year but people who are not fashionistas per se saw them for the first time in the Beyonce "Love on Top" video.Why care what other people think? Obviously the knock-offs are being bought because people can't afford the real deal or because it is hard to get their hands on the real deal.
Isnt this was happens to all high end fashion? In the end it thrickles down, through the department stores, to some tragic casual corner (i.e. Steve Maddens)
However I do think that the IM sneaker, at least the style, will be copied in the next months or years into some cheap looking sneaker, which will probably be worn by the mass. You might get enough of them because of this (at least I would be).

One of the ladies approaches me and asks where I got my shoes- I had on the anthracite Bekkets. I told her, "At a boutique in Santa Barbara." She goes, "Oh, those are boutique shoes? I broke my ankle and am trying to find a shoe with good support." Inside I was like, "Oh no, she thinks these are some type of orthopedic tennis shoe!"
Anyhow, I thought it was pretty funny.
