here are my new babies....





the fatakata are a little small, so i may have to return them - but i hate to do so - i love them

 

[Zarina]

The white sandals are gorgeous - what is that style called and how is the heel?

 

[Mona13]

i know! - aren't they! what size are you? i might have to return mine.
they are fatakata -
here is another pic that slightly shows the profile


they are from the thakooon s/s07 runway - here is the runway pic (from style.com)
but the style neimans/bergdorf did has a black heel instead of the white here - but at least you can see them on the foot


and finally pic from bergdorf

there is a little more discussion in this thread.

They are really beautiful, I actually prefer the black heel.
I am a 36, but I don't think I have any chance to get them without paying a fortune in duties

 

[Red Sole]

Beautiful shoes Mona! I think I need the black ringos too! And the blue ones!

 

[leyla m.]

oh my god, all of your shoes are soooooo gorgeous, i'm soo jealous again.

I was trying to find the Nude Ringos but have no luck. I tried to call almost half of the store in the US NM and no one seems to be helping me. I'm really desperate and I want a pair badly. ANYONE? 38 will be perfect!!!

I tried on the black in size 41 at Neimans in Tysons Corner, VA (ask for Tina is you call)...I wear a 41.5 to a 42 in Manolo. I could fit the 41 surprisingly (normally I would not be able to fit half my foot in a 41) just to get an idea of how it looked on me but I could not close the buckle on the side and the fit was not the best but I could get in them. 41.5 would have been perfect. I'd say order either 34.5 or 35. Definitely not a 35.5...as they seem to run a wee bit big at least on me they did.

So sorry for the late reply BlkLadyLaw (I had to go in for surgery). Thank you & Karma for your reference! I managed to check around & no one has the Ringo (black or brown) in size 35 or 34.5. I think that I'd definitely need the 34.5 as the insole measurements for the 35.5 are 9.5" (max I can wear in sandals is 9"). If anyone happens to see a pair in size 34.5 please let me know.

My silver Sedaraby's arrived & are so beautiful! These really fit big. I could have gone with a size 34, but will add heel grips & insoles if they stretch too much. *curses small feet*

We're going to L.A. next week so I'm hoping to still get in on a few sales. (If anyone has any reasonable hotel recs for Wilshire/Rodeo/Melrose areas, please PM me).

Gorgeous shoes everyone! I am so jealous of all the Ringo's.

 

[Wafaya]

luckyme..Thanx for the pics!!!!! karma!

 

[Zarina]

Just got these Camodos - they look almost black, but they are tobacco.

 

[cocohokkaido]

^^^Zarina, the detail on the front is really beautiful!

Sorry for the delayed response, but my brown Ringos have the platforms too! Mine are from Barney's.

 

[thesiren]

if i wear a 38 in most louboutins, will i take the same in manolos? i have never tried them on, but desperately want to track down a pair of black ringos.

 

[Mona13]

thanks all - i also scored the malakas on sale!

lelya - neimans has the black ringos, w/o the platform and not on sale yet.

zarina - i have seen the fatakata on ebay - does that help? love your camodos! congrats.

shopping - the grommet/stud pair are called cpertu (color - bordeaux) they were also on sale - and a great deal!

papillon - sorry to hear about your surgery - hope everything is ok! i am sure your silver sedaraby cheered you up - congrats!

the siren - i find louboutins to run smaller than manolos, but i also vary a lot in shoes, so i might not be the best person to help you. i wear anything from a 38 to 39 in manolo and 38.5 to 39.5 in louboutins. in the ringos i can wear either a 38 or 38.5, but find the 38.5 to fit best. i would prob. suggest a 37.5 for you.

Does anyone know if I can still buy the ringos?? I finally got the money to get them

the malaka's are a fantastic, very unique shoe. it's my first and only manolo that I own. I just wore them last night with a Dries Van Noten dress, it had
a cream linen base with dark red velvet swirls, 12"'s of trim at the bottom consistng of hand sewn beading in black and gold threads. the Manolo malaka shoe was the perfect compliment.

Lacroix.....You live in The City called LONDON!!

I'm sure it will be easier for you to track down the ringos compared to me,who lives in a third world country??

Just ring up every shop or boutique that stocks Manolos,you can browse the internet for their numbers,I'm sure there will be a few,have you tried big dept.stores like Harvey Nics or Harrods??,They dont have them??Are they sold out??
If You cant get them in London you can always try Paris,How is the taxing in London if you purchase shoes from Paris??
