TaraSterling Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I still remember the first Miu-Miu shoes I ever saw- delicate black patent T-straps with a metal heel about 4 or 5 inches high. Perfect angles, not too pointy. I've never bought anything made by them before, and none of my girlfriends have either. They are quite expensive, so before I invest I'd love to hear from someone who has owned a pair- did they last? Were you happy with them? Thanks!
t-strap lover Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Do you have a photo of them? I do like t-straps. t-straps are my favorite style.
Histiletto Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 A while back I stretched my budget and bought a pair of Miu Miu, Black Patent, 11.5cm high heeled, Double Strap Mary Jane Pumps. They looked fantastic, but when I tried to buckle the straps, one of the elastic bands that held a buckle, tore easily out of its secured sewings and damaged the patent finish. I was sickened by this result. Just because the name is well thought of in the fashion community, doesn't mean the quality is much better than some of the less expensive heels you can find on-line or in the more sensibly priced retailed outlets or stores. So, don't figure the higher price necessarily makes a better quality heel. If you can find a reputable supplier and can afford the cost, the chances of getting the better quality for the buck increases dramatically. The stiletto heels I have on now were less expensive than the Miu Miu's. These pumps were offered by Elite Heels, but they had to be made. The quality is worth the cost and the time I had to wait. When my budget will allow another puchase, I plan to order again.
TaraSterling Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 T-Strap Lover, I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere anymore but I happened to remember that I posted a pic of them to my blog, you can see it here (my blog has adult content, be warned): http://tarasterling.blogspot.com/2008/03/shoe-porn.html
TaraSterling Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 Histiletto- Thanks for the info! That is exactly the sort of thing I was wondering about. I do know and agree that expensive doesn't always mean high quality.
t-strap lover Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Thanks for the info Tara. That is a great looking t-strap heel and sexy. I really think the photo on the right is really sexy looking and very pretty. I think I fell in love the minute I laid eyes on it. Would that happen to be you, and if so will you marry me today? t-straps are my favorite style.

TaraSterling Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 And possibly even in my size, thanks Shrimper
TaraSterling Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Lol, yes T-Strap that *is* a photo of me.
pussyinboots Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 'Mui Mui' shoes are over-rated and over priced in my book. "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
HeelD Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I own a pair of Miu Miu kneehigh boots, about 2" slacked heel, black and absolutely beautiful, bought for £10 in a charity shop. Fit like a gem but are a pain in the ass to get off after wearing but I love 'em to bits and can't wait to wear them over jeans this autumn and winter. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005
roz Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I must admit I have seen a lot of Miu Miu shoes where I love the style of them. Really cute girly sandals. I am also interested to hear what people think so thanks everyone so far
