YSL Tributes

[EvaIntl]

These have to be the sexiest shoe a woman can ever wear.

it's a huge statement, but i think you may be right.

 

[Ciao Bella]

Thank you, thank you, thank you ladies and unplugged, thank you!

Rosalynn, they were a smashing success with the hubby! I paired them with skinny J Brand Jeans ( cigarette JBrand 12 w/zipper ankles), a simple white tank and a buttery soft Vince leather assymetrical jacket...he was quite pleased....

Ciao - The cobalt blue is so stunning on you! I love them so much. Congrats to you!
I would love the purple ones with the gold trim. Are they still being made?

 

[rosalynn]

Ciao Bella that sounds great, glad your husband loves them too! They're such great shoes, they just go with everything. I wore my leopard print ones out last night for the first time with jeans and a cascade top and they're brilliant.

I love all the spin-offs I've seen recently too. Eva Longoria was wearing a great pair of tan Tribs - I don't even know if they're officially Tributes actually, but the heel and platform's identical. I also bought a pair of YSL Obi heels in a sale recently, and they're also a spin-off of the Tribute. Just as comfortable with something new to bring to the table with a patent bow-style decor on the toe strap.

God, sorry, I could talk about Tributes all day

 

[kimair]

does anyone know what color the patent tribute sandals came in besides black?
i saw a picture online of a cobalt blue pair (like ciao's but patent), but i can't recall seeing them in stores...

 

[Ciao Bella]

Hey kimair... YSL in SF has the French navy blue in patent (very limited sizes) and Saks has them in burgundy patent...

 

[rosalynn]

I have seen them as dark brown and light brown at Matches Fashion (not much help to you I guess, but they exist), and I have also seen them in tan, gold and burgandy too. Most of the other ones I've seen have either been leather or suede.

 

[daggi]

I've seen them in navy blue , dark brown ,beige and even in yellow

 

[Ciao Bella]

kimair....Also, Barneys in SF has the taupe patent...

 

[rosalynn]

I've seen them in navy blue , dark brown ,beige and even in yellow

Ooh, I've not seem them in patent yellow - seen yellow leather with stacked wood heels but never in patent. Will have to keep an eye out for those even though I suspect they're uber rare.

 

[kimair]

thanks everyone...
i'm in search for the blue patent ones for my wedding...ysl in sf didn't have my size, so they're going to try to find them at another store...

 

[Vickycookie]

I need ur help ASAP! I'm usually a US 39, UK 6 but a friend of mine is selling a pair of the tribute in a US 38 UK 5. What do you guys think? TIA

 

[beduina]

Getting these beauties tomorrow, i preffer them to the ones from A/W (suede ones) as i think i can wear them all year long, the other ones are more wintery looking, still very nice though

^ Holy crap those are gorgeous They're my second favorite to the platform sandals!

Oh and, vickycookie, I think you should get the tributes in your actual shoe size, even if it means paying a little more. I wouldn't take the risk if I were you! And a shoe size too small really puts your feet in a vulnerable position... really prone to ingrown nails.

 

[rosalynn]

Vickycookie Tributes I find are normally TTS but I agree with michyed, don't go for the smaller size, if they're in your size they're one of the comfiest shoes going vs height.

beduina those TribToos are gorgeous. I love them in suede but I agree the patent is more versatile. TribToos are really comfy too, what colour soles are yours going to have? Neutral beige? Some have bright yellow or blue.

 

[mistress_f]

beduina you're gonna love them. i went for the shorter heel cause it's way more 'useful', but i did try both on and they're amazing. among my favourite shoes ever.

(my soles are golden. i guess the sole changes on the fabric of the shoe. i guess patent have them in yellow, leather in blue and mine that are some strange shiny-worked leather are golden. i might be wrong though)

 

[rosalynn]

I think the colour of the sole varies from where you buy them from - YSL boutiques got one colour, department stores another etc. But I might be wrong.

 

[beduina]

Rosalynn: I just bought them, they have like a golden sole, the sa said the ones with the blue sole were from last years a/w.I had a look and most of the shoes have a gold or white sole.
Mistress_f: thanks! I ll be posting pics shortly

 

[mistress_f]

i dont know. maybe they made the soles randomly? lol. i got mine last year from a ysl boutique and they're golden

 

[Guessgirl96]

I thought the ysl stores got yellow soles and neimans, saks, barneys, etc got blue soles. I have the blue soles which I preffer.
