Hi tpf ladies and gents!
I need some help here. So i got the oran pique calfskin in black a few weeks ago. i had the chance to take it for a spin just yesterday and my feet got bruised and peeled :sad:. Very painful when it is on. I have seen this a few years ago but was hesitant to get because of its stiffnes but continuously dreamt of having one so i finally got one.. i really loveits design so I wonder if the leather loosens up as time goes by.. and around how long? or if anyone of you here found a solution for it to feel comfy..

Not specific to these shoes in particular but I’ve had great success using a “blister blocker” stick applied to areas of the foot which come in contact with edges of sandals during the break-in period.

I had this happen to me when I purchased Epsom Oran few years ago. I sweared I had a very bad impression with Oran for a long time. it Would take up to two weeks to heal and get used to. :yucky::hugs::hugs::hugs:

Right. I agree epsom is a bit stiff and not comfy at first. But this one for me is twice/thrice as stiff as the epsom.. :crybaby:my bad i tried to make it work and still walked on it even though i have been feeling like my slippers are made of stone. painful during bath time.. shame when i actually want this in gold and white too.. i reported this to my SA.. let’s see what can they do about it or at least advise on how to make it better.
Thanks dear :hugs:

I answered my own question by heading to Instagram... look at these fashionable ladies! So now I am torn between black or silver loafers. Maybe black for the winter and silver for next summer?

I have the silver loafers and I am obsessed with them! They are my first pair of H loafers and I definitely plan on getting the black pair soon. I suggest going with silver b/c it's different and super cute. You can always get the black pair whenever you want. BTW, also thought I'd mention how comfortable these loafers are and I have wide feet so I tend to find many shoes uncomfortable. These are amazing.

I have wide feet too!! Are they true to size? Do you have other H shoes that you can recommend for wide feet?

Yes, I found them to be TTS. I range between at 37 and 37.5 in H shoes and I went with the 37 for the Paris loafers. The leather is very supple and doesn't restrict your feet too much. I would suggest trying them on in the store if you can so you can feel the difference between different sizes.

So far, I only own Orans, Paris Loafers, and the Saint Germain Ankle Boots. The Saint Germain Ankle Boots are my all time favorite shoe and I HIGHLY recommend them. They have the perfect amount of heel height and they are so incredibly comfortable. I've worn them for as long as 6 hours and I felt fine with them. They're literally my go to pair of booties and I've worn them so much already. I took a size 37.5 in the booties. I plan to get the same boots in the new Naturel color because I love them so much. :love:

I just received the Bilbao flats I ordered. To my disappointment, the hardware doesn't match the picture on the website. It seems suede was supposed to come with GHW, but mine came with PHW?
I am usually a 38, but it's a bit loose, so I am emailing them to see if they can find me suede with GHW in 37.5. I wonder if these will be too narrow in front? I wanted a pair with GHW, as I'm planning on getting the silver Paris (thanks to @_queenbee's enabling :biggrin:)
