Once again, I backed into a goldmine selection of sale Manolo Blahnik shoes today. The prices were not sample sale low, but the prices are worth a second look.
These shoes are selling out quickly and as such, I have size intel for those ordering their first pair. I learned the hard way that I need a size twelve in Manolo Blahnik flats.
“…but why would she wear flats?”
Carrie Bradshaw, Attack of the Five Foot Ten Woman
I am a mom of two who works downtown and logs a solid five thousand steps in work shoes per day, that is why I would wear flats. This Blair Waldorf-coded wool blue tartan Hangisi pair of flats were my choice last fall and I am still wearing them in the spring. It’s true, I just wore them last Thursday.
About Manolo Blahnik heels, I can only speak to the Maysli slingback in blue stripe grosgrain, the Hangisi 50 mm heel, and the Allurasan suede slingbacks. The nature of the style of the Maysli, ie the elasticized back, is a bit more flexible than a full footed pump. Rather than a size twelve, I wear a size eleven and a half in a Manolo Blahnik slingback. I like a size 12 for the full footed Hangisi pump as well as the Allurasan slingback.
Did I bookmark the Allurasan for a size twelve in yellow? Guilty.
