The shoes seemed to be stuck in the 90'2 in terms of cutting edge design and silouette. As with any European shoe designer, every shoe doesn't fit every foot. I've tried many Manolos that made my foot look awkward. I have several pairs of Louboutins, and each time I wear a pair they are guaranteed showstoppers. If you've never found a style that works for you, you wouldn't understand. And for the record,many of the Louboutin styles are available in a wide range of heel heights- just like Manolos. T'he ones that tend to be photographed the most are the sky high versions, because they're the most dramatic. I had my cobbler put red rubber soles on mine, so yes, they'll be red for eternity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-22160712735593590752008-08-04T19:20:00.000+01:002008-08-04T19:20:00.000+01:00These shoes are hotFoxyRoxyhttp://www.lake-shore.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-21072100352517020692008-07-06T19:57:00.000+01:002008-07-06T19:57:00.000+01:00As a shoe freak I love them both - but nothing will ever replace Mr. Blahnik's classy style in my eyes.Always In Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01442444231593796272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-28556612411037495862008-07-06T19:37:00.000+01:002008-07-06T19:37:00.000+01:00The life story of Diana Vreeland's maid - now that's a biography I'd like to read.Arabellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-82701816882981152642008-07-06T14:54:00.000+01:002008-07-06T14:54:00.000+01:00I have always wondered: Does the red stay RED or wear off after repeated treks on pavement?

It seems that women want obvious these days and he gives it. It's the red sole and the too high heels that are the attraction and precisely what makes them look cheap. I just wonder why women don't save their money and buy stripper shoes then paint the bottoms cuz the effect is the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-7892762870419513282008-07-05T19:55:00.000+01:002008-07-05T19:55:00.000+01:00I can understand the popularity of Louboutins over Manolos, as the Louboutin is much more obvious a statement of luxury. I will continue to prefer the Manolos as they happen to be built in a way that fits my foot perfectly (on the narrow side of medium but not narrow) and there is a wider assortment of heel heights. And although I love a gorgeous shoe, I would prefer that it would be one I can actually stand in, and perhaps walk a little ways as well.Mardelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.com
