Unfortunately there are many sites that sell fake Isabel Marants. The official website used to have the authorized websites to sell the sneakers but I guess they removed the list. Sites like the ones mentioned before are the only ones to sell authentic. Also be careful with Ebay as there are also some fakes. The price on that website is quite low and a dead giveaway. Sites that have the name Isabel marant are also fishy, except for her official website. I looked at the site and I guess they use images of real sneakers to then send you fake ones! Its a shame!

Okay thank you! I was ecstatic when I found the website, as I wasn't really willing to shell out $600+ for sneakers...I guess I'll just have to buy from a cheaper brand.

i would keep an eye out on ebay! Sometimes people will list as auction with low prices and you could get lucky! One of my pairs wasnt expensive at all(compared to retail!)

Thanks I will do just that! They're actually on Net-A-Porter right now for $480 USD... a large step down from retail price, and a lot better than some of the prices on eBay! Currently I'm still deciding on whether to order them now or wait and see if something good comes on eBay..

Hi everyone! Just wondering whether anyone else owns the bobby's and find their socks keeps slipping down? I hate wearing them without socks but they drive me crazy with them!

Yep mine does the same. So what I do now is fold my socks in half so it's just covering the toe area up to the middle of the foot. So basically my heel is bare. It works for me.

I wonder if I bought the wrong size for my Blossoms :(. I know they fit a bit snug but I think the next size up would have been too big. I wore them yesterday and walked for hours so my feet were killing me! Anyone else have this problem? I can wear them for short periods of time but cannot walk extensively in them.

What part of your feet are in pain? Toes? The arch?

I've found with my 2 Bekkets that the first couple wears were just plain uncomfortable. They were tight all around, my toes were smooshed and the arch of my foot kind of ached. But now both are very comfortable. I think IM sneakers need time to form to your foot.

I feel like the Blossoms would be a lot easier to form to the foot since they seem less puffy with less layers to break in than Bekkets, but I could be wrong. Maybe put on 2 pairs of thick socks and wear them around your house for a bit? I also stretched the toebox of my canvas Bekkets and that made a huge difference.

Oh! And maybe you need a different type of sock to wear with your shoes? With my new black Bekkets I wore a pair of super soft cotton-blend trouser socks with them and I got a blister on the back of my heel, which I never got with my more rigid canvas/leather (Hawaii) pair. I switched to a thin, cotton ankle sock (like an athletic sock but not as thick) and haven't had any problems since. I think the trouser socks were too soft and got stretched out with wear and caused the rubbing to occur and they were so soft my foot would slide down the shoe and my toes would get smashed. The rougher cotton sock has traction and also doesn't stretch so my foot stays put. :yes:

Anyway, I hope one of these tidbits can help you!

Thanks for the tips Mia! I think I need to try and stretch out the toe box a little. They feel fine through the arch, but they hurt pretty much right along where my toes start, where my foot is widest, if that makes sense. I don't have wide feet but that is the widest part of my foot. And they feel maybe 1/8 of an inch too short. I wonder if they will stretch lengthwise the tiniest bit too?

I have a similar issue with my bayas, they are a bit snug and were hurting my toes when I walked over 4 hours with them. I wore those thin stalking like socks and they are great! They don't slip down either! One thing that bothers me with the Bekkets is when I don't wear pants, like with shorts the top strap rubs into my legs and starts hurting! Lol!

I feel ya! I had the same problem except all the pain was on my pinkie toes (they're the widest part of my feet) and so I stretched them and they fit perfectly now. And! I think the toebox stretching made a difference in the feeling of the length too. Won't hurt to stretch the toe box and see how the fit is. I had a way of doing the stretching that I shared once before in this thread. If you're curious you can do a search for it, I would do it but I'm on my phone. :(

Ouch! Have you tried leaving the Velcro strap a little loose? I keep mine way loose and haven't had any problems.
