I'll start with the Fendi pair. I don't know what they are called, but they are awesome and super cool looking! I got them for like $100 brand new lol. They only came with the dust bag though. So that's why I don't know the name. They are made of snakeskin, leather and suede. They are super high but pretty comfortable! Here they are:
I different colors on the bottom of the heel design is a nice touch:
They look super high, but there's actually a hidden platform as you can see below:
It's a little hard to picture what they look like on, just by looking at them. So here's how they look on me! They are my usual size 36 and they are seriously pretty comfortable. One interesting thing I noticed while wearing them is that they have a very soft sole that absorbs the sound as you walk. So you can walk very quietly in these even on hard floors.
Next, I got the Christian Louboutin So Kate 120mm Pump in Tissu Scarabe Digitale. I think it just means this super cool material lol. I really love the print/color/effect, whatever it is. It's definitely not leather, and it's not fragile either. It'd actually be a little hard to scratch this material.
I've already shown two different outfits with them on in the last Sunday Funday post! They are like mermaid shoes! They look either green or purple or silver, depending on where you look. But they are actually way more subtle than you'd expect.
The "So Kate" style is very sexy, as it has a skinner stiletto heel than the famed Louboutin "Pigalle" style. But the So Kate only comes in 120mm which is hiiiigh considering there is no platform at all. So it's a very steep arch. It's basically as steep as I can do, but I prefer 100mm usually. So these shoes are for minimal walking in lol. However, I did size up to 36.5 which I think makes a big difference. I tried this style on in the Louboutin store in size 36, and it was like I could barely stand in them. But I can actually walk a bit in the size 36.5. I do use these foot petal pad things though. They give just a tiny bit of cushion for the balls of the feet, as well as prevent the feet from slipping up. So half a size up, plus these pads, make these shoes very doable for me.
wow the last pair is so colourful! "scarabée" is french for beetle (the insect), therefore "scarabée digitale" is a reference to those colourful digital-looking beetles imo. and "tissu" can translate to "material" in this case. so a shoe with a "digital beetle material" :)
ReplyDeleteHaha that makes sense! Pretty cute name. Thanks for the translation! =)
DeleteAren't you afraid to buy counterfeit shoes on ebay?
ReplyDeleteHmm not really, as I think it is pretty easy to tell between real and fake. I also have many pairs that I know are 100% authentic so I can compare the details... besides, ebay has been pretty good to me in the past when I've had issues. A while ago, I actually did receive a pair of fake shoes. The listing included pictures of real ones lol, but as soon as I opened the package I knew the shoes were fake. So I just opened a case and it was resolved within like an hour and I got my money back.
