Hi CL TPF'rs,
My husband and I will be going to Paris for the first time this spring so I definitely need to visit a CL boutique [emoji16] Since this trip coincides with our 5th anniversary and a milestone birthday (the big 30) we are having professional pictures taken. I would love a pair of red soles to peek through conspicuously if you get my drift,haha.
As the title suggests, I have large feet which have been the bane of my fashionable existence since middle school! (I wore a women's US 10 in 5th grade [emoji31]) Currently I am a US 11. I believe that I am a true 11 because I find 12s too large in many (albeit non European) brands. I also don't have particularly wide feet...but I do have long toes [emoji53] the only European brand of pumps I have tried are Manolo Blahnik. I have a d'orsay style pump in a size 42 that fits perfectly! I wear a 42.5 in Aldo brand shoes (although some styles I am unable to even get my foot into!)
I'm looking for recommendations on which styles to try out when I get to Paris. CL is sold at my local Nordstrom but unfortunately they never stock sizes larger than a 40/41. I am looking for a classic black pump like the Pigalle Follies, Décolleté 554 or So Kate. I would also be willing to consider the peep-toe styles like the Lady Peep, New Very Prive and Demi You.
I've been told my friends and coworkers who are already part of the CL family that this brand may not work out for me. But I'm hoping this isn't the case [emoji31]
Thanks so much in advance!!!
