PatsyCline Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Got my Alti 160 spike pumps today. What a difference between the Daffodiles and the Altis. The 20mm less platform makes the Altis seem so much higher than the Daffodiles. And yes, I've already scratched myself and put a run in a pair of hose. "Porsche...There is no Substitute"
DebbiNC Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 Got my Alti 160 spike pumps today. What a difference between the Daffodiles and the Altis. The 20mm less platform makes the Altis seem so much higher than the Daffodiles. And yes, I've already scratched myself and put a run in a pair of hose. Congrats on the new Alti 160s! They are lovely! With the lower platform I would assume the pitch is similar to a Pigalle 120. I tried the 120 and the pitch killed me, so I ended up with the Pigalle 100. Have always wondered how the Daffs wear, though. It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
PatsyCline Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 I found the Daffodiles easy to walk in once I got used to the shoes. The Altis were much harder with the extra height of the arch. I was curious about the Pigalles with the lack of a platform, don't your feet hurt because sole isn't very thick? I thought you would feel every little pebble that you walk on.

The soles are rather thin, but most of my walking is on smooth surfaces, so it's not a problem. But I'd NEVER wear them if I had to get off a paved surface! I know Daffs would look like horse hooves on me, but I have been fascinated with them from the beginning! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
PatsyCline Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 I'm assuming you have a smaller shoe size? "Porsche...There is no Substitute"
DebbiNC Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Unfortunately, no! As you know Louboutins have weird sizing, so I have tried on everything from a 40.5 to a 41 to a 41.5 and even a 42 (my normal size is 41)! That's why I worry that Daffs would look way too heavy and clunky...but I still am attracted to them for some unknown reason! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
PatsyCline Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 My 3 pairs are all size 38, and ordered via mail, so I must be lucky. "Porsche...There is no Substitute"
DebbiNC Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 You are lucky!!! I think Louboutin is really working to standardize his sizing so there is not so much variance. It's frustrating to have to order and return shoes! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
Shafted Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Standardizing sizing is a difficult endeavor. The only way is to standardize lasts. This in itself becomes a creative restriction for shoe designers. Shafted, the boots that is!

Amanda Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 You are lucky!!! I think Louboutin is really working to standardize his sizing so there is not so much variance. It's frustrating to have to order and return shoes! I think we should come together to squeeze out those companies that don't offer free returns on their wares. I Just don't order from them at all anymore.
DebbiNC Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I agree. I only order where I can get free shipping both ways! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
PatsyCline Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 I bought a pair of Daffys, and they are so comfortable. The wider heel makes so much difference, I wore them all day today. After a couple of hours I completely forgot I was wearing them. "Porsche...There is no Substitute"
DebbiNC Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I bought a pair of Daffys, and they are so comfortable. The wider heel makes so much difference, I wore them all day today. After a couple of hours I completely forgot I was wearing them. Congratulations! Hope you enjoy them....and it sounds like you already have!! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
PatsyCline Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 I would like to get a few more pairs in different colours, but I'm not sure if they were last year's models, as I haven't had any luck finding another pair. I wonder if there's a way to contact each store, via email for text, to ask if they have any in their inventory? "Porsche...There is no Substitute"
DebbiNC Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 You may want to join the Purse Forum. They have a special site for those of us who love Louboutins. It's a great resource. It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!
