Hi ladies!
I recently snagged a beautiful pair of velvet Top Street 100mm Mary Jane pumps. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with how rare they are? I have seen this style in patent many times, but I recently read somewhere that the velvet version is difficult to find. What are the chances I'd find another pair somewhere? They're a tad tight on me, I'm between 36.5 and 37 depending on style. I'm not sure if I hang on to them and try to stretch them, or sell them and hope to find a 37 instead?

Well, if money's no object:

I wish it wasn't! I'm definitely a bargain hunter though. I bought my pair on brand new on eBay for under 200
No dont sell them. Heels have to be tight, so they can melt on you feet. Also its easier to walk in too small Heels. I wear mine always 3 sizes smaller and love it
Wow! What a steal!I wish it wasn't! I'm definitely a bargain hunter though. I bought my pair on brand new on eBay for under 200
I'd definitely keep them. If they're really too tight I've had excellent results with these stretchers:

I got my half-size-too-small So Kates to fit perfectly.

Hey! I'm looking at a pair of Seava sneakers online and wondering how they fit? I've had mixed experience with CL sneakers. I'm 36.5-37 in pumps depending if they are pointy or round. I had Gondoliere in 37.5 and they were a great fit (with socks) and I tried Veira in 37 and they were too big, and I tried Pik Boat in 37 and they were too short. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi lestylet, Seava is true to size for me 37, so comfortable and insole so soft compare to Pik Boat. For reference, in CL heels I can be either 37 or 37.5 Hope this is helpfulHey!

Thank you so much!! This was helpful
these louis babes are my very first pair of cls ever, (also my avatar)
there's also quite a story behind it, which is interesting,
it was not a boutique experience or any usual online shopping, it was a total quest.
so here's the thing, sadly, there are no official cl stores in the country i live in (due to the sanctions!
), so my only option was to purchase online (which was also difficult for the same reason) or buying while traveling. since they'd be crazy expensive, i had to search through the preloved market. i generally am not a sneaker person and i've been looking forward to buy a so kate or pigalle as my very first pair, but through my searches in many and many preloved websites, i randomly bumped into these and fell in love. they have been listed for quite a long time for about 100 bucks which was a great deal and i was unsure if they were still available, since the seller didn't reply to any of my comments and hadn't got online for a long time 
so i had to do some stalking and investigating by searching the seller's username (which i assumed to be her name and surname) on instagram . i sent dms to all the people who popped up on my search results, well not all of them...
her avatar on that website was a blonde woman in her mid 30's , so i narrowed down my search, sending people the photos of the shoes and asking : "are these yours?" 
after getting so many "no" replies, and some unanswered dms, i was almost giving it up,but decided to give it one more last shot, and sent a lady with blonde hair a dm, her face not even clear on the instagram profile pic, and her account was private, (the profile photo was taken from behind her head) so i didn't had much hope.
and kaboom!!! she said "YES"
i just couldn't believe my eyes
the lady was really nice and was totally impressed about the fact that i was so fond of these shoes to search for her online. they shoes were already on a bargain, but idk why, my gut told me to ask one more time, so i asked her if she could give me any more discount (just taking a leap in the dark) and after some negotiations, she cut the price short to 68 bucks!
well... that was just too good to be ture! so i had to ask her if she could send me some extra photos (to authenticate them), and after watching so many clips on youtube, and reading pages and pages on this forum, i found out that they were indeed genuine , real loubs! I was feeling head over heels !
so after waiting about over a month -since the official shipping to my country is banned so i had to ask a third party to ship them for me- (yes that was too much work to be done for a pair of shoes, but totally worth it) i finally received them.
they came without any box or dustbag, but since i got them for only and only 68 bucks, i couldn't care less. the deal i got was unbelievable. of course, they looked nothing like these photos here when i received them at first ,so i had to do lots of cleaning and conditioning for hours because the previous owner had kinda neglected them and the lace margins were peeling off. so, i went through youtube again and learned some cleaning tips and after spending hours and hours on ,
voila !
there they are! almost as good as new!
they're just missing one stud, which the seller had told me about, but no one can even notice it. but i'm planning to ask for some spare studs from a cl boutique on my vacation to eu, hope they could help me with that.
i have been worn them few times since i've got them and they look even better than when they arrived, i couldn't be any happier.
I'm gonna post my second and (soon to be) third pair (hopefully) soon.

What a story! The things we go through to get our hands on the perfect shoes

Completely random geopolitical Q, but I’m so curious to know which country you’re in? I can only assume it’s Russia?
