Isabel Marant hidden wedge sneaker

[tb-purselover]

I need help deciding. Please help me as I can only afford one because I am supposedly on a ban.

I purchased the Noir Bayley before my ban. They are very cute, but they are noir and I already have the Willows in blue/black combo. But I love the noir bayley too because of the tea stain canvas with contrasting black seude and leather. I love the contrast which the Willows do not have. However, it is much more "boyish."

In a moment of weakness I pulled the trigger on the Ciel Bayleys. They are soooo pretty and feminine. However, they are light so easy to get dirty. Also, I am worried about versatility. I think it might be a color that can only be worn with whites, off whites or light colored pieces. Or skirts and shorts with blue in them. The bonus, because of the light color they make the legs look long when wearing skirts and shorts. The Noir Bayleys do not as much.

So my questions to you all is this:

1) What colors could I wear with the Ciel bayleys?
2) if I can only keep one, which one should it be?
3) Or maybe return both and keep neither because they are redundant?

For the record my IM sneaker collection is this: Blue/Black Willows, Gris Beketts, Khaki Bobbys, Lilas Bobbys.

Thanks for your help!

I would go ciel tb!!!
Looks like your black/ blue becketts would serve the purpose of the noir ??? what do you think?
Hope this helps... but you know if you can keep both.. i would say both!!!

I agree....I think ciel would give you more variety

I think its normal here is a pisc from la garconne website close up of the same leather that your bayas are made of. hope that helps!

here is another one from your bayas close up

Thanks for the pics!

I'm on holiday now with little access to internet. LVR responded the following regarding to the markings:

"Hello,

thank you for your email.

Please note that the color off white is supposed to be like that, as written on our details on the web site:

80mm Internal wedge heel
Reinforced metal eyelets
White version comes with intentionally vintaged effect and worn, dirtied areas that may vary from pair to pair
Leather innersole and lining
Rubber sole
This model comes up slightly large, therefore if you are between sizes it is advised to try a smaller size for added comfort


However if you are not satisfied with your order you can return it or refund.

Please advise."

I'll look at them again when I get home and decide if I'll keep them or not.
I really like them and want a white pair. Since there won't be white Betties this season (Am I right about this??)... And I know white is hard to keep clean, so I'll get them used looking anyways... Might as well keep these!

Does anyone own the white Bayas too to confirm these markings?

I don't own the Bayas but I did purchase the Brian in this color. Mine also have the slightly "worn" look. I wouldn't call it "dirty", though. Personally, I love it!

I agree with others that the ciel might provide more variety... That said... I have both the noir bazil and the noir/tea stain bayley and and to me the bayley does NOT look black... It looks navy and I love the look of the navy with the tea stain canvas... They are much more casual than the noir bazil with the star and all so I don't feel that they are repetative... I wear them with very different things... I think both are beautiful so you really can't go wrong with either one...

Thanks!

i just purchased a pair of bobby's from the nyc store...i'm normally a 37 in shoes...i bought these in a 38, but they feel slightly loose when walking...the 37 was too snug...does anyone else have this problem? i'm not sure if i should exchange them for a 37? perhaps the 37 will stretch?
just wondering what those of you that have these think...thanks so much!

I have the same issue with you,I wear 37.5 and bought 37 first wishing it stretch, however mine did not stretch enough, however alot of other said they do stretch, so I don't think I could advise in this case. Now all my Bobby and Bekett are 38.

Thanks for your input! Where they really tight? Do you think they stretched half a size?

Thanks ladies for the advice! I really needed some unbiased help. You helped confirm my thoughts. You are right the ciel will provide more variety in my sneaker wardrobe. After sleeping on it, I was leaning towards keeping the ciel too, for that same reason.

I am going to try and keep both. But DH already thinks I have too many IM sneakers. I think logically, I don't need both. But I would certainly love to keep both! Now to convince him they are different enough to justify keeping both! Which usually isn't a problem except I was really, really bad this month.

If my guilt gets the better of me I will return the noir bayleys. Otheriwise, I will try to keep both .

Sep ITA, the noir isn't really a black. It really is more of a very deep navy. Which I do love! That's why it is so hard to part with them. The color combo is so dreamy.

I would go ciel tb!!!
