pp,
i am sure the cobbler can fix that with an improvised tiny platform under the front of the shoe (the last area)
but i need to see if they have any sizes left in the green

 

[ilovepositano]

leyla!

you have sick taste in the most fabulous things...(meant in the best possible way)

i need a pair too!!! where to find?

 

[guccigal07]

london only I think.

maybe maria louisa in paris...

 

[s54]

i desperately need a pair of the green patent quakan heels! does anyone know if the london boutique sends to the u.s.? i probably need a 41 or 40.5.
leyla, do you know how much they were? the blahnik boutique in nyc had no idea what i was talking about when i inquired about the shoe.

ilovepositano - i 2nd that....
i am in love with those green patent. here is a press shot

(instyle - www.manoloblahnik.com)

i think you are right leyla, if you put a small platform - similar to the one on the ringos, they would be much easier to walk in.

 

[leyla m.]

mona,
thats what i was talking about. just like on some of the ringos!
i think they are around 430£... dont remember correctly.

 

[PursePrincess]

Ok...I'm confused because i wasnt following the thread properly before this...
what platforms on the ringos that supposed to make the shoes easier to walk in?? can anybody give me a pic??

 

[guccigal07]

funny how things go in group flairs...everyone loving the camo sedaraby...then ringo now the green shoes.

 

[leyla m.]

it is gucci,
i didnt expect that


pp,
i dont have a pic but there must be one in here somewhere of the ringo with a platform. its very thin but something similar could help!

 

[ilovepositano]

it was the green patent that did it for me. i had seen the silver before...and it didn't make my heart stop.

 

[PursePrincess]

Thanks Leyla.....
Gucci.....what to do? we all just have the same good taste!!LOL

I lovepositano....yes,it's the green that did it for me as well,i have weakness for green and red shoes

 

[guccigal07]

I have to camo but was never big on the Ringo...and I am not a big fan of the green shoes. nice color but just not a big fan.

they are pretty but just not me.

I don't think they did these in the states. London store won't ship unless you have a relationship.....

the only other option is calling Maria louisa in Paris.

 

[guccigal07]

hey mundodabolsa!!

 

[Mona13]

it was me that posted the pic of the platform - let me look for it.....

 

[Mona13]

found it.....


my own pic.

gg - you are right about everyone getting excited about certain shoes.

for these, i have to agree that the color in green makes them.

 

[PursePrincess]

AHA!!!....
What a great idea!!...Thanks

 

[guccigal07]

yeah the green patent is really nice. I saw some shoes this spring in the green. but it is a great patent.

 

[ilovepositano]

okay so are we all dialing paris right now? ;-) is this an odd shoe to buy going into fall/winter? that's my question.....can you ladies see wearing these in the fall?

 

[PursePrincess]

As much as i love the green Quakan shoes...I really dont have the slightest idea of what i would wear with them....
because IMO they're the kind of shoes that would only work well with a certain kind of clothing,especially in that colour,..... i'm imagining a philip lim white short dress,or black tights worn with a grey short cropped jacket......
All of those that I cant wear!
I can imagine myself wearing black pants and some cute white top,but thats what i always do with my bright coloured,detailed shoes, i want some variety you know....
maybe i should post in that pair your shoes with clothing thread

 

[leyla m.]

i would just simply wear them with jeans (i ONLY wear jeans and it always works!!)
