Hi all, I purchased my first pair of Manolo Hangisi’s but I am now unsure if I ordered the correct size. I normally wear a 37 in Gucci shoes and 38 in Jimmy Choo. I ordered a 37.5 in the Hangisi’s. Fingers crossed, I really hope they fit! I receive them tomorrow. 5472E966-8802-4A38-983B-CCFDECD61745.jpeg

I just scored a gorgeous pair of the velvet Hangisi flats (in a half size up) from TRR and I love how my feet look in them. I adore them, really! However, my heel does slip out of them when I walk and it is so disappointing because they fit perfect length-wise. Perhaps the previous owner was not as narrow-footed as me? In any case, do you think I can solve this with a foot insert or should I return them and wait for something in my true size?

I'm narrow footed as well. You can try a foot insert or heel grips as either one does make the shoes fit better. However, I find I would need to trial and error the different types of brands to see which is the best fit.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone here owns both the Hangisi pumps in the 70mm and the 90mm and if you would be able to post a picture of both of them next to each other (side view for the heel height comparison)? I generally like to be at the 90mm mark in my heels, but it is so hard to find shoes in my size (34). When my size and the color combination I wanted came up and for a discount I jumped on it...except it was the 70mm. I thought they would be okay, close to the 90mm, but now that I look at them in person, the heel height seems too short for me. This is my first pair, and I am debating on keeping or holding out for the 90mm, but just not sure if the difference would be that dramatic. I definitely do not want to go higher than 90mm.

Thanks so much for your help and input!

I just bought hangisi 105 pumps and am new to hangisi. How is the wear and tear of the satin mtrl? It looks very delicate. I dont think its worth the cost vs leather upper. Considering exchanging it but the color i got is so beautiful… its the bluish/teal color (not royal blue)—- and will be great as pop of color both with crop jeans and formal ocassions. Love the 105 ht and i think its the comfiest high heels for that elevated look. I bought half size bigger and placed padded inserts on the toe area to fill the space since i dont like my toes getting smooshed in a tight pointed toes shaped shoe.

Hi! It’s not as delicate as you may think. I wore my royal blue ones during my wedding and for photos after. Mind you, we took photos in the park in the middle of summer with twigs on the ground and stuff! It came out unscathed!
I also got it half size up and used padded inserts for extra comfort although it did seem unnecessary.

I am debating getting hangisi heels for the summer, but not sure about how comfortable they will be. I have the classic Prada pumps in patent but they give me blisters during the summer because of the heat. Are the Hangisi's more comfortable since they are satin? Thanks! I appreciate any suggestions :)

Ps: I do not wear my heels that often, but I would like to wear the Hangisi to weddings during the summer.

I live in the tropics and wear the hangisi barefoot with no problem. I’m a true size 38 and on the different height heels wear them in both 38 and 38 1/2. Manolo’s shoes are all handmade so there can be slight variations from lot to lot.

Bumping this thread in hopes someone has info on a spray to protect silk shoes. I have the bubble gum pink and fuchsia Hangisi and want to protect the color of possible. Any info someone can share?! TIA!

I live in Singapore where it's summer all year round, not to mention humid. I have worn my hangisi heels the whole day before and find it one of the most comfortable heels I have ever own.
