Modelling YSL Tribute Sandals

[Misstake7198]

Hi Misstake,
Just back from a long weekend away so sorry for the slow reply. I'd really love to get the fuschia suede Tributes but I can't get them in my size - I'm a 39.5 and I can only find them in a 40 and the 40's I tried on here in Melbourne really felt too big. My other option is a size 39.5 in bright blue suede... I"m also considering the anthracite straw-textured patent leather Tributes. They're a kind of metallic grey with the same textured patent leather as the poppy's. So many choices!

No problem! :okay: I was on vacay myself (spring break!)! Hope, you enjoyed yours! I finally got to sleep in... :worthy:
Yeah, I know what you mean - so many choices, wish we could afford them all!

ladies, i need your help deciding which size fits me better. I wear a us 6.5 in most shoes, eu 37 in non-designer shoes, 36.5 in tods and prada. I have low-heeled tributes in both 36.5 and 37. I'm about to order another pair of low heeled t-strap tributes , but i'm not sure which size i should pick.
Here is a comparison pic of the 2 sizes. The 36.5 fits me like a glove but has less space in front of the toes but no overhang .the 37 has a little bit more space in front of the toes but i have to wear a gel pad to keep my feet from sliding forward. The people at home think i should go with the 37 as my feet seem "less cramped" in them - bottom line, they "look" better. I somehow feel more secure / comfy ( less slippage) with the 36.5.

What do you guys think?

36.5!

Poppy is next on my list!

You'll love them too, they are so beautiful!

36.5!

Thanks ,Misstake7198 .

Hi, I'm new to this thread, but have been a long time admirer of your beautiful shoes.
I'm hoping to order a pair when I travel to the USA in about a month, and am wondering if you can help me with the nude colours if you've seen them in real life.
I see the nude patent on Nordstrom,

and the Vanille

I'm fair skinned and don't really tan very well - which would you say would be more "nude" if it's even possible to pick for someone you haven't seen. I basically don't want bone, ivory or blush if that helps.
Thank you!!

uggh -I'm having a hard time with the pictures. The nude is the darker and the vanille is the lighter

I would say Nude, but that's based only on the color online and the description of your skin tone, I haven't seen them in person. HTH!

I have the Vanille. The Vanille would match a fair skintone better, but it is quite pinkish. The nude patent is considerably darker. It may compliment your skin (depending on what undertones your skin has) but it would not "match" fair skin. I like both, but IMO, neither is what I would call "nude". I really wanted a nude that would match my light to medium "neutral" skin tone (neither too pink nor too yellow undertones), so I had to buy another brand.

I definitely do NOT want pinkish undertones! I may take a chance and order the nude then - as neutral rather than a true matching "nude". I'm going to Washington DC, so I imagine all the high end department stores will carry them - I was just worried they wouldn't have my size. I could probably return them in store if I don't like the colour.
Thanks again!

Hi Mlle Chance
I would probably go the darker nude over the vanilla, based on your description of your skin tones. Light colours on light skin can sometimes appear insipid whereas a stronger nude on fair skin tends to be more flattering. Think of Marilyn Monroe with her ivory skin and stunning red lips! I have read that the vanilla tributes have a decidedly pink tinge (I was thinking of ordering them myself until I read that)... The darker nude appears more of a latte colour.
I hope this helps!

Hi ladies,

I would like ask you if the tribute color suede Opium and suede Rust similar?
I tried to compare them, but they look similar. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice, Liv69 - your "latte" description gives me a great visual, and the confirmation of the pinkish undertones in the Vanille has me definitely ruling them out.
Everyone here has been so helpful!! I still have to wait a month, but I can't wait to get them!!
