The Hangisi flats are my absolute favourite shoes in my closet. I favour them every time over any of my heels...
Will have to post a pic soon of my little collection

I'm hoping to own a pair soon! I already see these shoes are gonna be a problem because I have my eye on about 3 of them...
Throwback to almost 2 years ago on my wedding day. My ceremony was outside so my beautiful Hangisis got a little beat up. I am shipping them off to Santana Creative tomorrow for a little TLC. They are miracle workers! Can't wait to wear them again!!!
I've finally purchased my first Hangisi pair in black 105mm height. Thought I'd give my experience in sizing here for anyone looking for sizing advice (similarly to me when I was looking up reviews when buying mine).
Consistent with MB's official website's sizing advice, they do run 1/2 sz big. I'm a TTS 35 (Italian), and should've got the 34.5 but luisaviaroma had such a good discount last week and 35 was the smallest size in hangisi they carried. On receiving the shoes today (just 10' ago actually) I felt slightly pumped out seeing the gap - about my pinky tip's width, so my left foot can slip out if I walk really fast (which i hope i won't have to!). Anyway, I think it's workable, given the heel height, I normally insert insoles and jelly pads in for extra comfort anyway, so hopefully that'll my feet fit.
Thanks for letting me share

so glad i found this forum! I need some advice
I just scored a pair of 115mm Cobalt Hangisis (size 40) on sale at Neiman for $270 (retail $965). I knew that the 115mm would likely be very high and not comfy but its free returns, so I figure I'll decide when I get them. So the shoes are gorgeous but they are high and somewhat hard to walk in. For reference, I wear high heels a lot and have a few pairs of the Louboutin Pigalle 100mm, which are pretty comfortable for me to walk in. I've tried the So Kate, which is 120" and I cant even take a step in them. This is my first pair of Manolos and I've heard they are much more comfortable than Loubs in general. Should I just keep these Hangisis even though the heel is so high just because I got them on an amazing sale? Or should I just return them because after 30 minutes I'll be dying? Does anyone here have the 115? Does the pitch become more comfortable with time?

If you can navigate in them then you should keep them, that price is unbelievable for a new pair of hangisi's. They could be what I call dinner shoes, shoes you to out to eat in so you're mostly sitting.
I wore them for my wedding. They are probably the most comfortable pair of shoes you will get at that height, but damn, they are tall! They are way more comfy than Louboutins though.
That's my way of saying, keep them.

I own both styles and find the hangisi to be much more comfortable.
Hello Hangisi Lovers, I am considering my first pair of Hangisis in black velvet in 4 inch but in my country, they only have them available in satin so would have to order them online. I was planning to go to the store for the right size so for those who may own or tried on both; do you have the same size in the satin and velvet version? Many thanks for your help!
