Manolo Blahnik HANGISI owners and lovers, come in!

Gorgeous shoe! I am using my satin ones for my wedding too! I’ll probably change to another shoe for when we take photos in the garden I thought about adding rubber soles but it seems like it’s not the thing to do with Hangisis. They’re too pretty to ruin the line. I’m also scared that the cobbler might make a mistake and snag the satin.

YAY shoe twins! When is your wedding? I hadn't even thought of the cobbler snagging the satin! I'm even more worried to bring them in now LOL. Maybe I'll just keep them super special occasion shoes going forward, and just forgo the soles... What shoe are you planning on wearing in the garden? Those photos will be so lovely! I bought a pair of white Gucci Princetown slippers for the reception. I have them in black and the vibram soles I had added to them look great.

Right?? It’s a valid concern! My cobbler returned my Chanel slingbacks with pen marks on the side probably when he tried to trace it for resoling! It wasn’t too obvious but I was still bothered and I don’t want to risk the Hangisis!
OH!! The Gucci Princetowns look so comfortable! You can definitely dance in those the entire night!
Our wedding was scheduled for October here in Europe but due to the threat of the resurgence of the coronavirus in the fall, we’ve decided to move it to April 2021. Especially since most of our guests would be coming from the US and Asia and people might not want to travel How about you? I hope this virus hasn’t affected your planning negatively!
For the garden, I am thinking of getting these platforms from Jimmy Choo but it’s currently not available so I’m waiting!

I'm eyeing these pairs of velvet hangisi flats, but not sure about sizing yet. The only size available is 35.
I'm a 34.5-35 (with insole) for flats, 50mm,70mm and 105mm all in satin.
Can anyone please comment?

AHH! For the amount of money you spent on those slingbacks, you definitely don't want someone getting pen marks on them! . So hard to find a cobbler you totally trust. Honestly, I don't actually find the Princetowns that comfy LOL! The leather interior often gives me blisters (but I like them so much I put up with it). OMG I'm April 24, 2021! Month twins as well? LOL! I'm in Toronto, and we were originally September 26 2020 but the art gallery we're getting married at said they might not even be open again until September, so we should postpone. So sad but I'm feeling like all brides are in this boat right now... I hope rescheduling wasn't too difficult for you. Love love love those platforms!! You could totally wear them after the wedding too. Good choice!

I bought two pair of Hangisi's for my wedding, one in a higher heel for the ceremony and then the identical one in a lower heel for the reception. The higher heels were so comfortable that I stayed in them all night and never had to change to the lower heels! Manolo really does know a woman's foot and how to make a shoe that works for us!

I send all my shoes to Leather Spa in NY for any and all repair work. They have different rubber soles to put on shoes, different colors and thicknesses and their work is flawless. This is where Manolo and Chanel and Bergdorf's send their shoes for repair. Their website is easy to work with and they do a huge mail in business. I used them when I lived in NY and would not use anyone else. They are the best.

This is what I’m hoping for! ❤️❤️❤️ They look really pretty and I was hoping to wear them during the reception too!

Oh I didn’t know! One would think that because the Princetowns are flat that they would be a comfortable shoe. Thanks for the heads up! thank you so much! I’m glad to hear you were able to reschedule in the same venue. Yeah, it was quite difficult but we were able to find an available date for our original second choice if that makes sense. I wish you all the happiness in the world and let me know if you do end up resoling the Hangisis! I know that plans are so hard to finalize right now with the pandemic and everything but I’M SO EXCITED TO WEAR MY SHOES! I’m just so scared to ruin them before the wedding!

Thank you so much for this tip! I’ll consider this stateside!

Got a navy pair for my wedding, which was supposed to be in September (postponed now to April 2021 because of covid ). Super excited to wear them! The wedding is indoors, inside an art gallery... would you recommend getting rubber soles added to them before the wedding? Or should I just wear them a bit as is, and later take them to a cobbler? I'm so on the fence because the soles are so smooth I'm worried about them being slippery, but I also love how simple and clean the silhouette is right now without the added rubber sole.

Congratulations! We have the same wedding shoes. Used them as is and it was perfect, in my experience it wasn’t slippery and it’s super comfy I used them the whole wedding time. Love them.

Ladies help me decide please!

Black ones are from a private reseller going for $750 via PayPal but $900 on poshmark

Yellow ones are for a public reseller going for $670

Assuming they are authentic, which would you go for? I own a lot of neutral designer shoes, and for some reason I feel like when it comes to Hangisi, it should be a bold color. But then the black I feel like would be the least risk for stains. Only thing is it’s a from a private reseller so there’s a little risk. Ahhhh decisions

The photo of the yellow shoe is obviously from Manolo Blahnik and not the actual shoe. Do you have a link to the actual shoe and to see its condition? And are both pairs the same heel height?
