Where to find cl kate?

@Shyheels, I bought them in Matches Fashion.
You can find them in Net-a-Porter and other sites like those.

@BootsOnly, what brand and model are those? They look incredibly awesome.
I would'n mind having them in my closet.
Maybe I'm still on time to buy them.

Yes, The FM are really nice... and Hot.130mm, and a pointy toe.
I don't know how high are they in 41 or 42, The So Kate and the Pigalle are 146mm in 42.

Looking to buy fuss schuhe pumps. Don't know what size fits seeing my feet are 26. 6cm - 27.0 cm. Confused on sizing euro or Italian no size charts to compare. Anyone have idea on the proper sizing.

Macky, I'm more or less your size. I usually take 42 italian or 43 European (French). FUSS is a german company, you should check with them the size they are using.
In my case, anything around 27cm will do.

 

Hi, I have some heels I've been able to buy before they went out of production. So some of the ones I had in my wishlist are already in my closet.

I have:
CL Pigalle in black patent.
CL Décoletté 868
CL So Kate in black suede.
Brian Atwood Nico (wooden heel). Beautiful shoe
Casadei Blade 8593 black suede (130mm). Yes, the ones Cameron Diaz uses in Bad Teacher.
Alexander Wang Constance booties -very high, and very hard to walk in-

But the ones I would like to have, also, and I couldn't get hold of are:
CL Brouge boots, any color. Amazing look.
CL Iriza -well, I might go for them because they still are there-
A pair of booties similar to the Brouge but short, I don't remember their name.
Jimmy Choo's Anouk.
Atwoods FM shoes.

The Gucci d'orsay patent heels from the '90s with the squared metal heel. Unbelievably beautiful.
Any Rene Caovila sandals
Anything from Lesilla.
And last but not least: Zanotti, Dsquared and Gianmarco Lorenzi... I can handle anything from them.

Locally, Paruolo Bari -short boot, almost a shoeboot, gorgeous-. I tried them on, but I was overweight so they were pretty snug. I looked for them this year but I couldn't find them at the outlet.
Paruolo Pincen -OTK boot, dark brown, chunky heel but the look was very slender-. Couldn't find them at the outlet either, I have a similar pair called Asia, below the knee and with fringes.



 

Yes, I have been caught, but they didn't seem to care or, maybe, they just didn't realize. Any way I'm 183cm (5' 10") and with 10cm (4") heels I'm 183cm (6').

I occasionally go out in heels, so it was not an issue

Hi Mr X

I have lost 21kg (46lb) and my shoe size, which had grown a little bit, has gone down maybe by one whole number.

Maybe the weight loss is part of the answer.
 

Down here in Argentina we also are lacking nice shoes or boots. Most of the heels are chunky or thicker stilettos than the ones we had two or three years ago. We even have thick platforms with no form whatsoever.

For this SS season I'm having a hard time to find something nice.

It also seems that the heel height in most of the brands have dropped, I used to find 115mm heels around in my size and now they are 100mm or less... maybe even 80mm.

Maybe only Zara is carrying some nice models.

I second mtnsofheels, maybe your secret didn't came out in the best way but now your folks know about your taste.

Just enjoy using them. The good thing is you don't have to hide them anymore which is a big step.

I never had a bad experience -to this date- trying heeled shoes in a store down here in Argentina.

Most of the clerks I met were women, though. I don't know how males would put up with it.

Yesterday I went shopping. I bought these two pairs. The pumps are 10.5cm (4") high and the sandals 11.5cm (4.5").

Hi guys,

I've been doing some shopping this week. I bought this pair of boots. They have a 10.7cm (4.2") heel with a pentagonal shape. Looks a bit chunky, though.

They are from the local brand Prüne. The shaft is  37cm (14.6") high.

They are very comfortable and a new choice for my street heeling.

Regards.

Majo.

My answer to the question is no. But I was never driven to that dilema.

Maybe, Rockup, you have to go to a Louboutin store for large sizes.

In Neiman Marcus' internet store large sizes are available only in some models.

We don't have a Louboutin store or a retailer that carries the brand down here so I bought mine at Net-A-Porter. I must say two things:  a) its a drawback not being able to try them on at the store; and  Louboutin's craftsmanship is nothing out of the world, quality does not reflect the price. I prefer brands like Brian Atwood, Casadei, Missoni, Jimmy Choo or Alexander Wang. It seems to me some of the local brands here can compete -in quality- neck to neck with Louboutin.

I have a pair too. I posted pictures on the "Who has bought some new shoes" thread.

They are black suede.

Beautiful shoes; they run tight so half a size up would be a good choice.

I bought them in Farfetch -they were shipped from Biondini- so I paid full price. But they are worth it.

Craftsmanship is excellent. Much better than the Louboutins' I own and similar to Brian Atwoods'.

Here, in Argentina, Prüne made a similar shoe but with a wider metal heel looking it from the back and more or less as thin as the blade from the side.

Great experience, Estar. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shoes, Histiletto. I've seen Sebastian footwear many times at Yoox. Most of them are very nice.

Today I bought these pair of pumps. The heel is 10cm (4"). Very comfortable. They are made of back suede.

Here in Argentina boots are larger than shoes. almost a size larger.

When it comes to find good fitting heels boots are generally a good choice.

Hi Lvemadomina.

I see all the good advice other members have given you. I believe as time passes it will be more difficult for you to address your parents. Don't let time pass because it's only worse for you. Your parents will live with it anyway as your mother already knows you had those heels with you. Specially if she found them twice. On the other hand, they are only shoes.

What's the point on delaying and not facing the chat with her, or both of them. Sooner or later, when you walk away from your parents house, you will be able to dress as you want and they will have to put with it. If you do so now, you will feel much better because honesty is the main issue with parents -I have three more or less your age-. I always tell them trust from both parts is the basis of a healthy relationship. You have to trust them, and the only way to show trust is to be honest and talk to them.

Go for it.

Best.

What you say is true, Chorlini. I myself don't look at men's shoes. This guy I saw caught my attention because he was very thin and I thought he was a woman. If I realized he was a man probably I wouldn't look what he was wearing.

Yesterday I saw my first guy in heels in Buenos Aires. He was at a shopping mall called Alto Palermo. I was in a hurry so I didn't address him to chat about it. The heels were shoeboots with a platform, over 15cm (6in) and the platform about 4cm (1 1/2in) with beads. He was a very thin guy with skinny pants and a shrit, over 185cm (6 feet 1") tall with the heels. He went out of the shopping and I lost sight of him in the crowd.

Very noticeable, people didn't pay much attention to him any way.

The last word could be male... but in the original I can't see what's before.

I didn't visit the site until today. There is a video that speaks for itself.

You can see it at www.sarkany.com

The legends say

I forgot to point out: the letters in his hand say desire, want, covet.

This ad appeared in today's magazine of one of the major newspapers of Argentina. Quite provocative for our type of society, even though some of the brands clerks are very supportive when it comes to trying heels at their stores.

The tatoos reed:

on the left arm: "The superior man"

on the foot: "Human male"

on the right arm: "They will be one"

I have several shoes and boots from this brand. 

Thanks for the replies. The picture shoebidoo posted makes things clear.

Cheers.
