shopping247, I have those and I love them. my only manolo's so far and incredibly comfortable.

hmm not sure about this style.. but i would rather go half size down...

thanks Leyla, you are totally correct!!
I received them today...NM suggested half up so i got both 35 and 36 (normally i wear 35.5) and it turned out that 35s are even slightly loose. I need to put in pads...gee...but they are gorgeous on! I'll try to take a few pics in weekend

leyla, i was able to purchase the cabbage from a nm store by buying virtual gift vouchers from the website and giving the voucher details to the sa to process. i had to do it this way because i don't have an amex and i really wanted those shoes!

 

[leyla m.]

thats what i was told to do. and i did until one hour later they found out they cannot give me virtual vouchers but only send the vouchers to my address.... because thats the only way they do it with international shipping addresses...
and i explained that these shoes do NOT wait for me!! i need the vouchers now.. but she asked her supervisor and he said they cant do it!!
she is called ASIA CASTOR from the online chat. so good luck to anyone who falls on her!!!

Leyla, I just found out that Barneys NY (the NYC one) and Bergdorf's both have that nude patent "Ringo" available....although I don't think theirs are marked-down....but if you want it (I think it's a great shoe even at full-price) try giving them a call. They take all credit cards (not just Amex/NM cards). Good luck!

 

[leyla m.]

i would like to thank EVERYONE for all the pms you have sent to me trying to locate the RINGO!!
sorry for not replying one by one but there are so many that i thought i would post my gratitude here !
its incredible how many nice sweet and helpful people this board has.

one of you managed to locate them for me through a friend and i will reveal that once i receive them
i cant wait!!

No dice on the camos ... I want them so badly, though. If anyone comes across a 39, PM me.

 

[Velony]

legaldiva, have you tried ebay yet? I just got mine from there because I also wanted them so badly but they are not available here where I live. And I also saved almost 50%.
They are also supposed to be available at Neiman Marcus.

 

[iLoveCouture]

I may go to Neimans tonight after work so if I see them, I will let you know legal.

 

[legaldiva]

Thanks everyone! I leave for a job overseas in less than a week, so for a year I'll be on a shoe ban ... third world living conditions and high heels don't mix.

I'm going to stalk ebay for the interim, and grab them if I can find a good deal. I'm so sick of be-luxe and NGG jacking up prices on shoes you can find in the store if you look ...

You should def. keep on looking on ebay. I did that on a regular basis and thought I would never find the camo sedarabys especially not for a good price so I was even prepared to pay retail. Then they popped up in my size and with a best offer. I never thought they would accept may low offer but they did. Sometimes you get lucky on ebay.

But I also agree that a lot of sellers offer items for ridiculoulsly high price above retail even when the items are still avaialble in stores.

Where are you going, legaldiva? Best of luck.

 

[shopping247]

legaldiva - i am sorry that the camos did not come through for you. definitely keep checking ebay, and if i see them in nm, i'll have my SA put them on hold. size 39, correct?

leyla - i am also sorry that you are having a hard time tracking down the ringo shoes. definitely check ebay for those also. i am sure in time you will find a pair!

good luck ladies!

 

[legaldiva]

Thanks, ladies! I"m going to East Africa to work on an arbitration case for a 1998 border war. Crazy.

The point is: my designer shoe collection (small, but growing) will be in hibernation for about a year ...

OT: I'll be strictly birkenstocks or flip flops for a year ... I'm taking one pair of Fendi pumps for the court hearings at The Hague, and that's it!

 

[leyla m.]

my RINGOs are breathtaking and i am wearing them right now thanks to a lovely girl from tFS and BE LUXE who was kind enough to go out of her way to find them and send them to me in the quickest manner!

yay to both of you and all others who were willing to help

hopefully will have pics soon

 

[Wafaya]

Have a nice trip! It sounds really interesting!

Blush Patent Manolo in size 41

FYI
These were at the Neiman Marcus in Tysons Corner, VA in size 41 when I was there yesterday at lunch. I tried them on and I am usually a 41.5 or 42 in Manolo and I fit the 41 to my surprise in this shoe...but 41.5 would have been better fit.

If you call for anything ask for Tina

Congrats Leila on getting the Ringo's!

I've purchased a few shoes from BeLuxe & they are quite nice to work with. I only wish their mark-up wasn't so high, I'd definitely buy more from them if the prices were more reasonable.

Please post pics when you get a chance.

Congrats on the new shoes Leyla! Those are so gorgeous. Please post pics when you can
