Marc Jacobs FW06 Petal Heel

[contiguous]

The general opinion is horribly fugly or amazing. However, they are impossible to find online- netaporter has the boot and tbars, but not the plain pump (only in green suede). There are quite a few pairs on ebay in the 350-450 range.
For any owners: how do they fit? (all pics style.com)

I have 2 pairs from the fall line, I love them to death.

These are burgundy, you can't tell in the picture, I've never had a pair of shoes receive as much attention as these do:


And some boots, the black ones went back, I kept the grey pair since they have a lower heel:


I REALLY wanted the 2nd pair you posted, the ones with the t-strap and the piercing, but they were really hard to walk in and pinched the sides of my feet weirdly, so I decided against them.

but the burgundy pair fit well/ true to size? The only way for me to buy a pair is online and sending back the wrong size is a hassle... Marc Jacobs shoe sizing is very inconsistent.

I don't really know what is true to size for me because my shoe sizes are all over the map, but I'd say that recently I seem to be getting most shoes in a 38 and I got the burgundy ones in a 38 too. hope that helps

and jun, thanks for being a great enabler your opinion is always valued!

[seanutbutter]

^ Wow! Only $295? (Plus tax, but never mind that ) That's a steal!

mundodabolsa your grey boots are amazing

 

[VampireCa]

it is 70% off already??

 

[mundodabolsa]

it is 70% off already??

in the US the shoes went 40% off the week of Thanksgiving, then 70% off a week later, on Nov 30th. I don't know about the UK though, but aren't sales in Europe later?

 

[Meg]

yes they are unfortunately. Hopefully I will find some in the sales here....they are so lovely but have been stocked at selfridges for awhile so hopefuly they aren't selling that well....

 

[Tushka_BeLLa]

I think they are beautiful, but I couldn't pull them off...

The white ones remind me of Minnie Mouse for some reason

I have the burgundy pumps, although I really love theones with the piece going across the bottom.

 

[beltedmaude]

I just bought a pair of the black pumps, and they're much more comfortable than I imagined. The sandals are impossible though (for me at least) - they're a broken ankle waiting to happen!

 

[pichu888]

these are definitely eye-catching, but i don't think i would wear them. i'd probably fall!

 

[VampireCa]

i have bought the black patent boots
cant belive Havey Nichols is still selling them at full price when in US is already 70% OFF!

Just ordered these off the Net-A-Porter Sale:

Can't wait until they arrive!!!
I love those grey boots too, I'll have to search around and see if the MJ store has anything left in my size. Probably not but its worth a shot.

^ Nice choice; the green is a gorgeous shade

Also - there aren't any other sale codes on NAP that I should know about, are there? (Aside from the discount on those shoes already.)
