Manolo Blahnik HANGISI owners and lovers, come in!

Haha yes I own a lot... so much so that I’ve purchased, sold, purchased again so many times that I’ve lost count lol... sizing can be tough especially after you buy them and they stretch to one size too big making them unwearable! I’ve learned many lessons with sizing for sure!

Those heels are so cute!!! I tried on the 100mm and I went up half a size because my heel was sticking out a tad bit with a size 39. However, I tried on the patent. Had it been leather, I would’ve stayed with my tts of 39. Because you’re considering the 65mm (I believe that’s the height), I think you should stick to your tts if you’re going for leather or half size up in patent if your feet are on the wider side.

Perfect, thank you! Appreciate the insight

Hello! I plan to buy the MB Hangisi flat at Nordstorm, but the fit suggestion on their website is to order one whole size up. From what I read in this thread, most of you go with half size up. I’m usually size 38.5. Should I go with size 39 or 39.5? And also is it worth the price tag? TIA!!

I have the 105 mm in tts and went up 1/2 in the satin flats. Haven’t worn them yet though-still trying to decide if they are too fragile! Somehow I’m harder on flats than heels.

The fit of the flat has varied over time with the initial version having a narrower toe box which was widened with subsequent manufacturing. But subtleties do occur depending on fabric and date of manufacture (remember all of his shoes are hand made). I am a true 38 and own the flats in both 38 and 38.5. For some reason the heel version of the hangisi has been more consistent over time and I've been a 38 across the board.

My first manolos!!! I wanted something that would be a limited edition to make my first manolo purchase a bit more sentimental. I love them! Wish I would have gone down half a size though instead of my normal size because they slip off my feet after a while but... I’m sure my cobbler can work his magic to make them a bit more snug.

hi i'm thinking about this exact pair for my first manolo pair as well. i'm looking for something works for day and night. how do you like yours so far and do you find them versatile with different outfits?

I love them. I find them to be super comfortable. I love the fact that they’re leather and not satin. I dress them up or down but I find that these are suited best when you’re dressed up. I have worn them with black jeans and a white tee with a black leather jacket though and the shoes made the outfit stand out a bit more.

Thank you! That’s good to know. Do you find them suitable for work?

I’m a makeup artist so I usually don’t wear heels to work. However, I wouldn’t see a problem wearing them to work with a skirt/pant and blazer if I did work in a company that requires you to wear business attire. In all honesty, this shoe will make any outfit complete. They’re stunning heels.

Hi! I am dying to get a pair of Manolo Blahnik Hangisi mules... but afraid they'll fall off my feet and I won't be able to walk in them. Can any mule owners share their experiences? Thank you!

Not sure if this has been asked here a gazillion times... can i ask if the flats run true to size? I'm typically a 37.5 for chanel ballerina and same for christian louboutin heels.

Hi all, question re the buckles, I have a black tie event to go to and am wearing a floor length silk chiffon gown. I'm eyeing the lace Hangisi but am concerned the buckles may snag the gown due to how the crystals are set, can anyone comment/advise?

 

[audreylita]

I would hazard a guess that they may. I've worn many of his rhinestone shoes over the years and the little metal claws around each stone can easily snag onto anything. I love his lurum shoe and wear them with boyfriend jeans that are a little raw around the edges and the bottom of the jeans catch on the stones all the time. But the lurum has stones set higher on the foot than the hangisi, further away from the ankle and more compact than the lurum. Either way, if it were me, I wouldn't chance snagging a gown unless it was a bit on the shorter side and away from that part of the shoe.

Here's the lurum for comparison:

Thanks that's what I suspected. The dress will skin the ground once altered so will definitely brush against whatever shoes I'm wearing, so will play safe and look for something else. Really struggling though!
