I'm glad to hear they feel better now! The jimmy Choo sneakers I had issues with feel better now too! I think if you'd sized up you would have had more of an issue.

Yes, that is great. Glad your jimmy choos feel better now too. Sometimes I think that when I buy expensive shoes I have high expectations that they will be comfortable right out of the box. And I forget they are just shoes.... :smile1:

Hello everyone,



This is my first post at this forum and thread. I´ve been contemplating getting a pair of black IM hidden wedges (the tall ones) and finally found a pair in my size, they fit great and are very comfortable but I´m not sure about spending so much money on a pair of sneakers. I find it a little crazy. For those who have them, do you think they´re worth price and how do they hold up?

Honestly I think they are worth it. They are super comfortable for me and really practical. I haven't had any issues with quality. I wear my beige pair regularly and they are still pristine. I haven't even treated the suede yet. I'm careful because of the colour but the sole looks barely worn.

They aren't cheap but compared to the wear to cost of my Louboutins my Bekkets were a much better investment.

I totally agree. I bought taupe Bobby's this fall and have worn them repeatedly. Super comfortable and I get comments on them literally every time I wear them. I would never wear tennis shoes or running shoes even on casual jeans days so these are a great alternative to a more structured boot.

For me, it is worth spending more money on a few pairs of great shoes rather than having a bunch of "meh" ones.

Hi all,

Happy new year! I am contemplating purchasing my first pair of IM sneakers - exciting! Trying to decide between black Bettys or khaki Bobbys - would love any opinions. Also, any thoughts on if the listings below are authentic? I would love to get them for less than $700!

I have a pair of taupe Lanvin sneakers already (though I think the style / color of the khaki IMs are different enough), but love the color of the Bobbys in the first link below. Do you think they are too green-ish?

I can never get enough of basic black but am just worried that the black will look more like regular sneakers or boots (which I have a lot of) and that I won't wear them as much in warmer months.

The shoes look authentic to me, but the second ones don't have real pictures..? So I would ask for those. I own the khaki Bobby's and I love the colour, it's very easy to wear. I don't think they are "too" green, but they are dark green actually. I would choose the khaki suede ones, I think they're better for summer than the black Betty's. You could also look for the anthracite Bobby's of the taupe ones, those are also pretty neutral.

Thanks for the quick reply!! Great advice - I will ask for pics for the 2nd one, though I am leaning towards the khaki. Seems like a really nice neutral that can be worn year-round.

That sucks! Have you contacted NAP? They are normally very good with complaints and the problem you've pictured seems more than just general wear and tear.

Oh, I am so sorry.... I would try to contact NAP too...

I did and they told me that if the items "are damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be faulty." But what happened is not the result of normal wear and tear, it's the first time in my whole life I see a shoe tearing apart like that, and for a pair of sneakers worth almost 400 euros is totally unacceptable! I am very disappointed and I'm going to write to Isabel Marant customer service too. They won't probably even bother answering, I know.

Did you attach the photos? I'm very surprised about NAP's response and I would be taking it further if I was you. Try posting on their Facebook page - you often find social media the most effective way to complain!
