Anyone own or tried "Elisabet Tang" heels

[Mr. X]

I was browsing some online buy and sells, and I came across an ad for someone selling 4 pairs of this brand.  They were all the same shoe, but just in diffent colors and patterns.  I immediately fell in love with them. And this is exactly what I think of when someone says high heels.They have that "classic" stilleto look. And they are what I would call one sexy shoe! I did some research and realized they are sold on Amazon.  They run around 60 to 80 dollars canadian money, which seems reasonable depending on the quality.  They say they have a near 5 inch heel.  And they come in a variety of colors and patterns.  Here is a few pictures of the ones from the ad I saw.  And also a link to them on Amazon.  I especially like the purple snakeskin ones she was selling. So does anyone have experience with this brand?

As it so happens, I believe I can help you out on this. I too heard the siren song of Elisabet Tang, and they are not bad shoes for the money. Naturally, or un-naturally, as the case may be, in that price range they are plastic shoes. I also imagine that they are twice the price now for me (but not for you). I'll leave that right there. Here are two things to know: 1) Whoever makes/markets these also sell the same exact shoe under the name Gen Shuo. And I mean the same exact shoe, right down to the detailing on the sole. 2) They run slightly small, and it seems to be consistent with this particular model. 98% of the time, I take a USW size 9, and I can barely get these on in size 9. I bought the cheapest used pair I could find in size 10 just to check sizing, and I discovered that size 10 is not really a good fit, either. 9 1/2 might be the ticket, if I could find them in 9 1/2. When I looked before, they only came in whole sizes.

I see in the link you sent that you can get 8 1/2 and 9 1/2, but no other half sizes. This makes me suspicious, because in the feedback section of some website I visited trying to figure out what was going on with the sizing, the company evidently knows about the problem, and said they would take steps to correct it. This seems just like Aldo from 15+ years ago. Remember how Aldos always ran really small, and then they "corrected" the problem? This has been a lot of words to say yes, Elisabet Tang/Gen Shuo are probably worth buying if you like that style, but be aware of the sizing issues if buying sight unseen. As an afterthought, yes the heels on size 9 are every bit of 120 mm, probably more like 122.

I was inspired by your post to drag out my Elisabet Tang pumps to see if I could make them work. The answer to that question is yes, I think they will in fact be wearable with the judicious use of the shoe stretcher. However, I chose otherwise for church last Sunday. I am simply not prepared to wear 120 mm + shoes in public yet, especially when I'll be recorded. I'm getting there, but the process is slow.
