wear & tear on pearl heels?

[Straight-Laced]

Please let us know what you both think as far as which heel height. I too am contemplating these shoes. Would love to know the comfort level as well of both heights[emoji6]

The loafer heel style is super comfortable for me! But the block heel is good for a 3" heel, which for me is just a little too high and steep for striding as fast as I like to walk. Very good walkable pumps for a 3" heel though. The toe is nice and wide too so I like the fit.

I love the low heel since I'm a walker too and I know I'd wear them often; however, I really love the look of the mid heel. I think the mid heel version really "shows off" ( for lack of a better term) the pearls, and I think they'd be more versatile. I'm like you in that once I try both on, I will know which suit me best. The White are sharp, but I'm going with black in whichever ones I prefer. I'll be anxious to hear your thoughts once yours arrive for you to try!

ITA, the mid heels are prettier and the pearls are set off better when sitting higher from the ground. Attached higher on the heel might mean the pearls get scuffed less than on the low heels too.
Neither height is perfect for me but on balance I prefer the mid heel pump in black because they're prettier and comfortable enough for getting around in
(I'd still like the pearly low heeled white ones though)

Decided that I'm almost certainly going to return the black low heeled pearl loafers and exchange them for the 3" /75mm heel.
It's tempting to keep the loafers because they're easy to run around in but I have more than enough low heels and flats to choose from so I'm better off with the more versatile higher heel, which I prefer the look of anyway.

I agree, comfortable mid-heels are still a rarity these days

Any feedback on how the faux pearls on the pearl heel shoes and boots are wearing?
Are the pearl studs tougher and more hard wearing than they look? Does anyone regret buying these expensive shoes because the heels scuffed up so quickly, or do you love them anyway despite scuffs?

I have had 4 pairs and i have a actual, in New Flower print one. You can wear them, nothing happens with Pearls and studs. I like 3,5 cm heel but 7 cm heel are also very beautiful. For daily wearing 3,5 cm heel is better but the 7 cm heels are more feminin.

That's great to hear Suzy

They are both very comfortable. 7,5 cm are more feminin but 3,5 cm is more cool.

Thanks for the feedback. I just ordered 2 pair. Red mid heel and black low heel[emoji15]

The studs hold the grip well?

Definitely go with pearls!

Bummer[emoji45]. I received both pairs of shoes and are WAY too big. Sending them back and ordering a half size down. Hope they will fit. Hesitant ordering a whole size down, so am going a half size down. What is others experience with size.

I wear a full size down from my Princetown size in the higher heel i.e. Princetown 38, Peyton pump 37.
This advice from Browns fashion for the higher heel version - "Fits large to size, we recommend taking a full size down if you have a regular foot, a half size down if you have a high arch."
The black pearl heel loafers I returned were 37.5 and they were a nice fit but if I get around to buying the white pearl low heels I'll probably first try the size 37 in them too.

Thank you so much for this information. I hope the half size down will fit; otherwise will be sending back and ordering again! I really like them; otherwise, I most likely would not bother. [emoji6]

They're both so beautiful, but I agree with your assessment. These are " statement" shoes, and outfit makers. The higher heel is indeed more versatile and would look great dressed up or down. Love these shoes!
