/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Shoes are the one thing I'll probably never get brand. They're the most likely to get damaged and I want to be able to replace them. I get freaky enough with my brand socks. But damn, AP shoes are cute.

Uhhhhhh…taobao and bodyline…

From taobao, bodyline, vivienne Westwood, AP ... Kind of from everywhere. I have them in all styles and colors. Just get them from where you can imo

not sure if for here or general thread but if you're posting shoes to sell on the comm sales, you should probably remove the sale price tag first (or flip it over)... especially when you're charging over double the price you paid.

She's charging 70usd.

>>7516323
meta is releasing some super cute tps soon and I am buying two pairs

...unless meta shoes have a bad reputation or something, anyone own any?

>>7516331
All styles and all colors is quite the claim. What're we talking here?

Fairy kei shoes work too

>>7516334
This is a shoe general, seems relevant.
I don't get people who don't triple check photos before they upload them. Or even checking the preview on the camera. People who notice later that the hem was uneven or a price tag was showing or something baffle me.

>>7516355
pls if anyone wants to post fairy kei shoes do it
i need some kawaii shoes in my closet

>>7516343
I'm mad that bodyline doesn't sell those bunny shoes anymore

>>7516343
excuse the thumbnail

>>7516357
Those big chunky sneakers look super comfortable. It seems like a lot of fairy kei-ers wear teaparties. Though I've seen girls paint sneakers with a slimmer silhouette to be pretty cute. This one's subtle. Might be a fun afternoon project with a cheapass pair of white runners from the store.

>>7516360
girl on the right looks like her legs had a fight on which way to go

>>7516357
pastel boots are rockin

>>7516368
Since her boots are witchy, I think she looks possessed. Neat. I like it.

>>7516360
>bunny shoes
Where can I get those?

darker stuff too. now I'm thinking about witch boots. i need a pair of grannies.

Damn, these would be great with a jewel colored coord.
>>7516374
Bodyline used to sell them! They don't anymore. Aren't they great?

>>7516374
>>7516358

>>7516377
Holy shit, those would go perfectly with my purple Royal Kitten JSK! Do you have a link for them?

Anyone got cuteass rainboots to battle the puddles? I need some.

>>7516383
They were on some sketchy blog. No source! I'm sorry, I really wanted them too.

Has anyone actually bought from Dear Lenore?
Something seems off about them, and it's not just the name.

>>7516392
I personally haven't but if you look up reviews people usually say their quality and fit is fine. Really most of their bad reviews are due to communication problems and taking forever to actually receive the shoes.

i have... too many shoes. a mixture of brand/offbrand/knock-offs but I'm guessing I have at least 40-50 pairs of shoes I have on retainer for lolita.

>>7516323
>There are a lot of negative reviews, but it looks like that's about communication and shipping, not quality.
I'm pretty sure it's because people don't even receive things they paid for. Have fun then.

>>7516383
>>7516389
this is the brand supposedly: Chie Mihara

but i have no luck loading their page and the amazon results don't have those boots

Can anyone tell me where they get their chunky shoes like this? I want some old school gothic mary janes and I don't like the ones Demonia/Pleaser have. Kera made these but I can't find any atm. Not really into Yosuke's stuff either as they're too embellished.

>>7516336
I used to own some of Meta's "stripper platforms". They were gorgeous but terrible quality. The enamel peeled off and the rest of it got all squished.

I actually just buy cute mary janes and oxfords from normalfag fast fashion places, like charlotte russe and f21.

>>7516389
ps looks like these rainboots can be found on aliexpress here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-Wholesale-New-Arrival-Girl-bow-rain-shoes-lovely-rain-boots-Lady-Rain-boots-LYX3/532965645.html

I cannot guarantee their quality. When I went on a rainboot hunt a while back, I didn't see a lot of great reviews for the cuter shoes. These Dirty Laundry rainboots look legitimate, but their colors are very very bright. The yellow ones are pretty classic, though. So that's pretty cute.

>>7516392
Maybe since they're not English? But mostly, they're notorious for taking ages to ship and never contacting you back. I wonder why they keep having that problem.

>>7516400
Tell us more!

>>7516404
If they take too long, I can always paypal claim. If when they show up, they're cheap and terrible, there's nothing I can do about that.

>>7516400
How do you store them all? I have at least 30 pairs of shoes including lolita and regular shoes, and it's so hard to store them.

>>7516411
shoe storage yes

>>7516383
Oh, Royal Kitten Anon, the Dirty Laundry Rain Check rainboots come in a beautiful jewel purple, too. So if you want to keep your feet dry, maybe that'd be fun.

>>7516411
I... I store my mmense shoe collection in a big box in my closet.

>tfw no space for proper storage

Oh well. I keep the fragile ones out on the floor, but the rest just go right in the box.

>>7516427
That's exactly how I store mine too, but the box is starting to overflow now and I have no more room for the fragile ones. I wish I could have a walk in wardrobe.

If your bed is raised above the ground (mine isn't) you could store them under there?

>>7516411
>>7516410
I live in a shit tiny apartment and kind of... just line them up on two different sides of my rooms. I'm really looking into some kind of vertical storage.
>>7516410
>Tell us more!
uh, the most uncomfortable shoes I own are original Liz Lisa shoes. They are just killer on the feet, wow. The most comfortable (heeled) shoes I own are probably those little suede triple bow t-strap shoes that people order off taobao all the time. I have 3 or 4 pairs?

I can't tell the different between my real AP TPs and my secret shop ones, it's embarrassing, I have to check the sole stamp. I also own a pair of the real AP engineer boots and they are much nicer than the secret shop knock offs. The pleather is... softer? like it's really nice, and the shoes don't squeak with air when you walk on them, like the secret shop ones do.

I really love my bordello whimsy boots, those are also really comfy if you're looking for a comfy shoe that can fit a range of styles.

I don't know, I know I don't have the biggest collection or anything, but I have too many in the end heh.

>>7516407
I had Demonia Gothika's and they are pretty amazeballs. What Demonia's do you have?

>>7516420
This is cute! I would love to see some more shoe storage examples. I'm having a hard time trying to store mine. I also need to get some new shoes for Lolita.

>>7516434
>those little suede triple bow t-strap shoes that people order off taobao all the time

link?

Shoes are seriously the reasons I haven't worn some of my dresses...got nothing to go with them.

Right now I'm hunting for VW & Melissa three strap in gold. I hope to find them by this time next year. I'm also hoping that the straps fit around my ankles. Thanks for the cankles, mom.
>mfw all tendon/bone can't do shit about it

Aside from those, I want to buy more kitten heels and flats. I have two pairs of teaparties from Taobao, and want to get other colors. Next purchase will probably be black.

If anyone has links to kawaii or unique classic shoes for US size 10/26cm it'd be great.
I'll share what I find here, too.

>>7516471
Those are cute but they're not quite the right shape or chunky enough for me. I'm not too fond of the buckles either.

I have those Funtasma/Pleaser heeled Mary Janes (pictured) that a lot of people have and the Demonia Keras (weird coincidence). The Abbey ones are kinda cute though.

>>7516389

These Vivienne Westwood style rainboots. I have actual VW ones in all black but I am probably going to get these in pink or blue or both.

>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Bow-Design-Candy-Color-Flat-Martin-Ankle-Rain-Boots-Soft-Jelly-Shoes-/130995674204?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&var=430197007548&hash=item1e7ff35c5c

>>7516323

I loved these boots but they don't appear to be on their facebook anymore though.
Considering Dear Lenore is still getting negative feedback, and facebook messages of people making paypal claims to get their money back I never ordered from them, which is a shame cause I really wanted dem boots.
Wished I could find similar ones elsewhere.

>>7516383
they're the quechua boot by chiemihara (www.chiestore.com/) they were about €300 and they're not in stock anymore

>>7516407
Anon you should look at TUK shoes!

>>7516487
>If anyone has links to [...] unique classic shoes
seconding!

>>7516572
>>7516487
For unique shoes you should check out irregular choice, they just about go up to US 10 (European 43, I think that's right!)

Are there any options for lolitas with bigger feet? I wear a size 11 and I do not want to buy Bodyline shoes.

>>7516641
It depends what style you want anon. Antaina do custom shoes, secret shop do larger size GOs via clobba iirc, some Demonia shoes could work if you're into gothic. Bodyline shoes aren't that bad though anyways.

>>7516553
I have some from them and they're nice but they don't sell the style I'm after at the moment. Sob.

People who live in the US should look into getting some shoes from Mojo Moxy (they're good for classic). I was going to get some but they don't ship overseas.

>>7516655
I no longer support Bodyline. I don't want to associate with a creep who preys on young women.

>>7516392
>>7516323
With barely 22cm feet, and thus not many other options, I decided to risk ordering from her a couple weeks ago. Haven't heard anything other than my automatic order confirmation, but that seems to be par for the course with her. The order status on the website says "complete", but in all honesty, I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean, it could mean my shoes are done, that they're shipped out, or just that the payment/order was successfully completed?

I'll review them once they arrive; if they turn out to actually fit and look good, then the worry will have been worth it. She reeeally needs to work on order status updates though if she wants to get past this reputation.

>>7516725
You will have a lot of luck on taobao anon. Have a friend with 21.5 cm feet who only buys on taobao now. I always used to complain about my shoe size being small but at least at 23cm I can walk into a shoe store and find my size in the adult section. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be having to only shop in the kids section or having to pad bigger shoes to wear them. Best of luck and looking forward to your review.

I got these to wear to a wedding and I'm pretty much sold on Melissa's designs for life. They were so easy to walk in and the plastic was astoundingly soft and flexible.

Taobao firsthand, JP brand (secondhand and lysoled and left in the sun to kill bacteria), VW x Melissa firsthand. My ETC shoes are some of the comfiest I own and JetJ is kinda uncomfortable. Still waiting to find a good pair of AP or BTSSB.

I need a pair of navy low heeled shoes, 27cm. I feel like Lenore is my only choice because Qutieland and Clobbaonline only have sax.

>>7516420
Cute but there are seriously only 4 pairs of shoes in there

>>7516641
>>7516655
I'd like to talk about this too.
I wear a size 11.5/almost size 12 sometimes. BL shoes don't fit me.
An Tai Na isn't as awesome as everybody says. I own 5 pairs, and only one fits. I got them custom made to fit my exact measurements: 3 are way too big and cause aweful bruising and blisters. One is way too small, can only wear for like a couple of hours.
On top of that, An Tai Na has aweful craftmanship. I really don't want to buy from them again. They are SO panful to wear!
I really, really need some pretty shoes suited for Classic Lolita in sizes 11 and 12. Can anyone share, please? No need to be Lolita shoe,s they can be mainstream Loliable too. Budget friendly too, please! Thank you so much fellow seagulls.

>>7516823
Secret Shop. Clarks.

>>7516408
>F21 shoes
Ugh, how can you walk in them? Just trying on the couple pairs I got on sale for a few minutes made my feet hurt, it's like slamming your feet on cement. They're so narrow, too.

I am desperately trying to find some nice classic shoes in ivory to go with some coords that don't look too wedding-y and aren't actually nude/beige irl (which is how the few pairs I liked on modcloth turned out). Any recs? I prefer something with a small 2-3" heel.

>>7516411
I want these in black so bad. Might be my next shoe purchase.
I'm running out of space too and I only have maybe 20 pairs including non lolita shoes...

>>7516828
>Clark's
>budget friendly
Hue

Can anyone recommend some loliable shoes that are good for casual outings and comfortable? I like to Disney Land in lolita, but I always struggle with shoes, I just can't wear sneakers. My nice shoes I worry about scuffing, plus they aren't good for the amount of walking done.

>>7516883
80$ on sale for reliable and comfy shoes is budget friendly. Go to Payless if you want 20-30 crap.

>>7516890

>I like to go to Disneyland

Apologies, running on 2 hours of sleep.

>>7516761
will I ever be able to find the 3-strap heels in gold in US size 5 or 6? it's always sold out.

do Melissa heels run big or small?

>>7516370
Didn't Forever 21 just get a bunch of pastel boots?

>>7516375
Adorable as fuck collection, anon. I like those sneaks

>>7516797
antaina do custom colors

>>7516828
Nope, SS doesn't make shoes in my size :( (28 cm)

>>7516823
Just scout around on ebay and amazon for mary janes, you could invest in shoe clips to do them up.

>>7516903
They run true to size. And yeah Size 6 is very popular so it can be hard to nab them, you have to be very quick/online to see them uploaded often I guess. I think I got lucky.

>>7516761
I have some wedges by them and really want these in black! They're super comfortable for wedges!*

*First 4 hours: extremely comfortable. After that really not so much.

On that note, what are some flattering flat shoes you guys have? I have short legs and big feet and that's such an ugly combo, but I need to a. look cute b. have flats for work because it's 8hrs plus standing, one hour commute back and forth. I'd REALLY appreciate any help!

(pic only related because I would have killed for these Mellisas)

I decided to just go with brand shoes, for the sake of comfort. I have 3 pair of AP shoes so far, gonna try getting another pair this month.
So far I have one pair of brown heels, one pair of red flats and white boots.

>>7516392
I ordered a pair last week. I'll let you know how it all goes.

>>7516725
I ordered a pair o' shoes, but emailed her before I put in my order. I be wantin' the shoes before a may convention.
She said the the shoes take around 5 to 7 days to make, and it will take about 2 weeks to get to me when they're shipped out.
Crossing my fingers and hoping they arrive before the 15th.
I'll review them when I get them, most likely.

For shoe storage I use an over the door rack that I got from bed bath and beyond. Its made more for flats and sneakers and stuff like that but I turn my taller shoes sideways and put them on the rack (holds much less that way but I only have a few tall boots)

>>7516950
Ohhhh okay that's a relief then. I'm waiting on them for a convention towards the end of may too, but with all the horror stories of delays was worried I might not get them in time.

>>7516903
I'm a US 9 - 9.5, ordered the 9 and had room for thin insoles. Can't help with the 3-straps, I'm afraid. :(

Does anyone know where to buy Liz Lisa goods, especially shoes, for okay prices?

>>7516989
Yeah, I'm actually super worried about the wait time, but I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best,

We'll see.

>>7517071
Here's the mbok Liz Lisa tag for all items

I'd like to second a request on these mysterious comfortable shoes you're talking about

Ikea is beautiful. So space saving.

>>7516360
mfw i'm pretty sure that's amanikitty because she only has the one fucking pair of shoes

>>7516816
>>7516420
Maybe it's just more obvious to me because I have dolls, but it's always weird to me that people think this image is of human stuff. I mean, look at that stubby parasol, and that toy fan on the shelf. It's BJD stuff.

>>7517406
The ribbon on the dress to the right was what gave it away for me.

On topic, these will always be my favorite gal shoes.

>>7517406
Both the parasol handle and the heart-saped bag's lace placement made it pretty obvious for me.

>>7517113
That bottom right one is so nice!

More shoe storage? I need something better than piling them into a shoeunder now that I don't have under-the-bed space anymore.

>>7517406
>>7517418
>>7517435
Wow! It's interesting to see what I pay attention to and what I just glaze over. I focused on the socks, on the pink furniture, the shoes, and the pink purse. I didn't even realize there was a dressform nor an umbrella in this picture. I agree on the bags, since their real weight would put a lot more pressure on the straps!

Op shop finds, taobao, bordello whimsy, bodyline and offbrand shoes. I'm hoping to buy a pair of VW x Melissa three strap bow heels in navy this year aswell as possibly a pair of Fluevog's I'll see how I go though. I have size 11 feet so finding shoes can be hard especially for classic. I heard good things about the large sized secret shop shoes though so maybe I'll have to try them.

>>7516434
Really? Which Liz Lisa shoes are you talking about?

I own the engineer boots and pic related in caramel and they are the comfiest heels I own. I've walked all day in them and while my feet were tired from being in heels all day, I didn't get pinched toes, blisters, or anything painful whatsoever.

These are on sale currently... been wanting a pair for ages.

>>7517091
ahhh thank you so much!!

>>7517705
Simply elegant.

>>7517705
Name of shoe? Link please?

>>7517705
I've been lusting after them for ages, but they're out of my size :(
I'll have to save up for the mary jane style, those heels are perfect

>>7517747

>>7517900
It doesn't work.

>>7517888
I know. Luckily there's an independent store close to me that carries them. It's a shame the online store only has 6.5's left!

Pic related are on sale as well, I have a hard time deciding between the two.

>>7517906
oh, google search the image, or I guess just type in 'fluevog Queen transcendent' and it should pop up the link

>>7517929
I'd definitely choose the clawfoot heels. The Baroques are cute, but I like them in the Rubens style more (ugh, now I want more fluevogs, but I just bought a pair and I'm not allowed to spend that much on shoes for another several months at least)

>>7516903
i own the melissa three straps in purple in size 10, I'm 25.5/9.5 in size but i usually have to order a size up due to my wide feet. i wore them out once, and it's a bit.. big? my feet slide in them so i think i'm gonna have to put insoles in them to help with the sliding. but for 60 bucks, i'm not going to complain about the fit haha

I want to smell all of your shoes.

I apologise for this post.

>>7518020
mah nigga I was just about to post something like that

>mfw reading an entire thread about /cgl/ girls, some of them confirmed qts, describing their feet and the things they do with them

>>7518004
That's amazing you got them for $60. I'm looking for the purple in the 10 as I have big feet.

>>7518004
I saw a pic of some shiny hot pink ones recently that I'd kill for in a size 10. Searches so far are turning up nothing, though. Those shoes are just fucking glorious, no wonder everyone wants them and holds onto them once they get them.

Just saw these on amazon, thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Victorian-Granny-Boots-Accent/dp/B003EUO78Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398402842&sr=8-1&keywords=granny+boots also, what the fuck is with the Gary Busey picture on the front page?

>>7517699
Hey anon, missed this question, they are these (the ones on the right) I have worn them several times and the size is great (I have just an average arch and width 23.5 foot) but after about 45 mins it's like slamming my foot into concrete.

Lis Liza shoes always go for cheap on mbok if anyone is ever looking for some, and they always have a ton up for auction. I got those for about 50 bucks all together with fees and about 10-12 bucks for shipping.

>>7518041
oh and this isn't my picture, shelby's just was the first one that popped up for me when I looked for the shoes on google since I don't have a picture of mine.

Do these VW wedges still exist/pop up second hand? I have a pair of the black ones which are comfy, but the gold is such a cute color. I probably wouldn't wear them for lolita, but just slinking around in them might be cute.

>>7518043
Are these.. Gel sandals for adults?

>>7518048
uh i don't think i'd liken them to gellies since they have like a 3 inch wedge, but they are like silicon and smell like bubblegum.

>>7518043
i feel like ive seen so many knock offs of these on aliexpress

>>7518052
In the gold? I'd prefer the originals, but I've never seen either of them for sale (knock-off or original) other than that picture I grabbed from an old sale's post.

I'll dump some shoes I have saved on Aliexpress.

>>7517929
Aw man, I was planning for these to be my next 'vogs, and they're on sale? I don't know if I can afford a new pair right now, though. Boo.

Idk if this helps anyone but I just saw the Melissa 3 strap heels in pink

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vivienne-Westwood-Melissa-Pink-Elevated-3-Strap-Shoes-Heels-BNIB-4-5-7-/151285705361?var=

So if I'm looking to buy used VW shoes, is there any way to tell if they are original or knock-offs from pictures?

I've just bought these, my 3-straps fit me really well and are incredibly comfortable despite the heel, so I'm hoping these are the same! The website doesn't have the best customer reviews in terms of speed, but I don't need them for a specific event so hopefully it won't be too bad for me.

I'm not sure about the current design of the 3-straps (with the added bows). They're the ones I have, but is sometimes feel that the bows are too much detail and that the plainer ones would be more versatile. I'd say that they're true to size - I'm an EU 39, and it fits perfectly with thin tights on (haven't worn it with thick socks).

In terms of other shoes, everything is offbrand Mary Janes or T-bar straps because I prefer to wear real leather. I'm thinking about getting shoe clips for them to make them a bit fancier, but I haven't found any I liked yet. I think my most worn pair is brown knee-high lace up boots, so much so that I'm searching for a pair in black.

>>7516392
>>7516323
I ordered from Dear Lenore in the beginning of February, and I still haven't received the shoes, though she said it would only take 2 weeks. On average, I had to send at least 3 messages for her to reply. There were two periods of time where she completely dropped off the face of earth and wasn't replying at all; the first time was for around 2-3 weeks, and she offered a free pair of of a new design of shoe in apology, which would "take a week longer", or she could send them out right away. Since I didn't need the shoes by a certain time, I accepted the offer. After replying to her and telling her what color/size I wanted for the extra pair, she went MIA for almost a month. Over the course of that time, I messaged her around five times, inquiring on the status of my shoes, with no reply. Finally, I posted an obviously unhappy post on her page, detailing my grievances and also clearly stating that I would probably be giving her negative reviews online. She replied to my post within the next day, saying that she had shipped the shoes and that the tracking number was on paypal, although she had never contacted me about it at all. I checked, and I did have a tracking number added to the transaction within the past couple of days. Apparently, though she did not reply to others who had been posting on her page and trying to get in contact with her (though she did reply to me).

I'll do a full review when the shoes actually come in.

>>7518305
>>7516392

wow, their facebook page is almost nothing but people complaining and opening paypal claims, that's fucking batshit

>>7518305
Oh shit. >>7516725 here, well there goes my hopes of getting mine in time for the convention, thanks for the heads-up. Time to try and find some emergency plain ones...to the childrens shoe stores I go, hooray -.-

>>7518322
...aaand I'm pretty sure that's my cue that I need to get some sleep, please ignore the goddamn emoticon, sorry

>>7518323
Big fucking deal. Where oh where in the written law of ficking4chan does it say to never use emoticons? I've been frequenting this board for years and never understood that rule amongst the seagulls.

>>7518328
please don't make this thread into an argument about that.

Need to find some mary janes to go along with a maid outfit for AX two months from now. I'm on the search, I get the feeling plenty are looking for the same here, but I'm pretty sleepy and out to go to bed. Main issue is finding a place that is reputable and delivers good quality. I'm going to be walking all day at the con with these on and it'd be great to have something comfortable.

>>7518328
Lolitas like to separate the Lolita fashion from cosplay and 'weeaboo' things where possible. A lot of them associate emoticons with said 'weeaboo' things.

That's.. Really all that there is to it. People will argue all sorts of things, but that's the basic reason.

What are my options if I want cute golden heels that aren't a total pain?

I have terrible experience with both Secret Shop (dents, fraying and broken soles after a few months of wear) and Antaina (most uncomfortable heels ever, can barely reach the bus stop in them) and it seems Dear Lenore is basically out of commission.
At this point I'm considering just buying whatever comfy heels I can find locally and just spraying them... or are there any Taobao/aliexpress shop with confirmed quality? I'm not overly trusting of the short chinese reviews.

>>7518328
its an unwritten rule because this is an imageboard.. you can post images to convey the emotions of your text instead of an emoticon.

>>7518177

For me, If the only photos are stock photos I just kind of assume they bulk ordered knockoffs. If it looks like it was taken in someone's bedroom (you know what I mean...) then I tend to assume it's a genuine product and someone is cleaning out their closet. A lot of independent sellers (like, people like us) will say where they bought their shoes from and sometimes how much they were originally for proof. If they don't, ask them.

If it says "new without box," definitely ask for more photos. If they can't provide any non-stock photos, they are probably knockoffs from a factory bulk order. Most people selling genuine new shoes will have the box. Sometimes they bought them originally at a place like Ross or TJ Maxx or something (well, maybe not VW) or used but in that case they should still be able to take more photos.

If it is a US seller and from a city that isn't a main one like LA or San Fran or NYC, they are probably genuine. Usually those cities are used by Chinese sellers to give the image that they are shipping from the US. If it's shipping from Bumfuck, Virginia, they are probably real.

If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. Occasionally you get lucky because some noob lists all their designer stuff with a $.01 starting bid and no reserve price, but usually the cost will be pretty close to the original price unless they are significantly worn or damaged. Probably don't expect to spend less than $50 and that's if you're lucky or don't mind scratches.

I will only buy a shoe listed as genuine from a seller with stock photos only if they are connected to some larger company with a good return policy or they have 100% reviews (or at least very close).

there's always the chance that the seller was originally sold a knock off and just didn't know and presented it as if it were not one, but that's rare.

>>7518528
hrm, ok. They have non-stock photos and a photo of a blue VW box with a price tag on it, but I assume all that is easy to fake. They unfortunately fit one of your categories as being based out of a big city but the english is poorly spoken. I sent them a message though, so we'll see.

>>7518528
Ok thanks for the info. They have non-stock photos, are actually in a town I've never heard of (glancing over it I just saw the state name and assumed it was a big town) but their English is poor. Well I guess I'll give it a shot.

Usually I get cheapass shoes or ebay or aliexpress, but I've also had lots of luck with outlet stores and second hand/vintage.

If you have a Sears Outlet around that sells shoes, make sure you go right when the retail stores start putting out stock for the new season, as they get an influx of new stuff then to get rid of. I've seen knee-high leather boots for $30-$60 on sale regularly. For myself, I managed to snag two pairs of cute oxford heels, one navy suede, one wine, for $12 each.

Having pretty big feet (9W US) makes things kinda hard but I've had some luck in thrift stores. Managed to find cute mary janes, loafers, and oxfords as well.

>>7518177
>>7518528

What material are usually the knockoffs made of? Are they stiff and prone to chafing? The original Melissas are supposed to be super soft and comfy and I don't really believe the fake ones use the same quality rubber...

>>7518549
I have some knockoffs of the wedge wing shoes and they are soft, flexible, and have a slight uh... 'give' to the sole? Like it cushions your foot. And they smell like bubble gum. But I dn't have real ones to compare. I can tell you they are very comfortable though.

Sorry if this is a nub question, but source on these shoes? the original brand?

>>7518549

I have a pair of real ones and a pair of the same ones but in knockoff form. They look virtually identical (dif colors) but the actual ones are obviously higher quality. The color is good/even throughout. The bow is fastened in the same or a similar way, it hasn't come off at all. The knockoffs had a chemical smell that took a while to get rid of at first. The knockoffs are kind of "hard" despite being jelly in comparison but aren't horrible. It's very subtle differences but noticeable when altogether.

They aren't terrible knockoffs. Neither shoe is all-day-wear level comfortable imo. To be honest, if I want any more of this type of shoe and can find replicas I will probably buy them. I know, I know.

FYI knockoffs seem to run true to size while the genuine ones run a little large in my experience. Others may have a differing opinion. I have only worn the slingback style heels and rainboots.

>>7518560
They look like they could be Metamorphose

I have never regretted an impulse buy less. These are on Modcloth right now, but if you order from Iron Fist that knocks about $5 off the price.

>>7518577
Not sure what I'd wear these with, but damn they're cute!

>>7516487

You mean these?

>>7518294

OMG, where did you get these? Dear Lenore?

Is it possible that these exist in a size 8.5/9? I don't care if they're overpriced Chinese knockoffs, they're my dream shoes and I'm tired of squeezing into narrow 8's after two weeks of sessions with my shoe stretchers. I'd prefer them in black, but I love the design so much I'll take them in any color.

>>7518607
They're VW... it even has the logo on the strap...

>>7518636

I noticed, but I was hoping they were knockoffs...

>>7518603
Nope! Pic related.

>>7518607
Those are VW.

>>7518643

Ah, okay. You mentioned three straps and flats so I put the two together in my mind I guess.

This thread sent me in search of Melissa shoes.

Jesus fucking christ. Someone take my wallet from me and put it safely away somewhere.

Size 6 VW gold heels http://www.ebay.com/itm/281315134087

Curse my size 8/9 feet. ;_;

>>7518657
Things are about to get real expensive in here.

>>7518598
I wear them with my normalfag clothes in matching colors. I'm considering getting this headband to go with them - any thoughts? Apologies for slightly off-topic.

>>7518657
Let the bloodbath begin.

>>7518656
They are really dangerous.

>>7516323
I got my stuff from Dear Lenore rather quickly and the shoes are really cute!! I wish you the best of luck, OP.

>>7518566
Yeah, they're from Meta.

More links to gothic shoes?

>>7518672
how?

>>7518666
saved.

>>7518741
Because they're a good way to blow a few hundred bucks.

>>7518754
Melissa shoes are honestly the same price as most high street shoes. I could easily justify a couple a pairs of those ballet shoes at £60 a pop.

Compared to the £315 VW RHS I've also had my eyes on, they're a steal.

>>7518770
I'm not disagreeing, I just think a lolita could have a damned field day drooling over all of the loliable shoes VW has.

>>7518781
Reading back over my post I think I'm already practising aggressively defending my spending on clothes. My wallet only just recovered after my last spree. I should put the internet down.

... maybe just a few more pairs for reasarch

>>7518786
I'm the same way. My paychecks don't last long, thankfully I'm not totally retarded and make sure I put away enough for rent/food/etc. and don't buy on credit.

>>7516389
It rains a ton during winter where I live, and since it's already starting to rain pretty bad I've been on the hunt for some cute rainboots to wear whenever I go out and about. Found these, haven't ordered them yet since I am yet to dig around on reviews from the seller.

>>7518754
I don't own any yet but I swear I will drop what is necessary to get those gold VW heels if I EVER see them in my size.

Every review I've heard is that they're also super comfortable (referring to that specific pair as well as VW+Melissa shoes in general), and I have pretty bad feet so the extra money is worth it.

grlz be sure to show lots of toe cleavage it's good for your health

>>7518661
That looks really pretty, and I think it would go well with the shoes. Where's it from?

>>7518633
>be size 10
>will never have these

>>7518636
>>7518642
Yup, they're VW. However, if you wait for a sale they're not too bad - both pairs of mine cost me £50 including postage and packaging (both were brand new).

First pair was from Daniel Footwear, who were really good - lovely packaging, dispatched and arrived quickly. Second pair are from BrandAlley which seem to be a little more dubious. Their Facebook is full of people complaining about items not being sent, but then (as I said) I don't need them for a specific event so I decided to chance it! I can always claim back if they don't arrive. (Daniel Footwear had them on sale at some point for around the same price, but I missed them). I know BrandAlley still have some of the three-straps in and on sale if anyone wants to risk it!

>>7518656
I'm tempted by these but I don't like the little bow on the front of the shoe. They remind me a lot of rocking horse shoes, but without the heel!

That reminds me, I also have a pair of Mel by Melissa toffee apple wedges (pictured) that are also super comfortable. I just wish that they were closed toe though!

>>7518974
I just won a pair of VW triple strap flats and I'm hoping they're as comfortable as everyone is saying. Got them for $16+ship. Not bad.

My shoe wardrobe really sucks and I need to sell off a bunch of shit to make room for cuter, more comfortable, higher-end stuff.

Rec? Right now I'm on ebay seeing if there are any deals out there...

>>7519562
Around the size 5-6 area, kid's & women's sizes tend to kind of blur together. I used to work in a kid's shoe store and when I got an older kid I would have to constantly switch between the two.

Your best bet would to go an actual shoe store and get yourself professionally measured. Either that or use how many centimeters your foot is.

So you don't know where I can find a basic converter for the sizes that are technically the same length, but in women's they label it 6.5 while the kid's is labeled as 5? Or however it'll end up

>>7519623
http://www.zappos.com/c/shoe-size-conversion

Try this, comparing "Big kids sizes" to "women's sizes" - you can see the overlap. Compare the size to your foot length in centimeters (when you're standing), and go from there.

You just have to make sure that the shoes you're getting are kid's or women's.

Wow! 8 and 8.5 fit into the bigger kid's sizes? Why isn't this common knowledge? Isn't that the average women's shoe size?

>>7519565
Are there any listings of these in the beige? Everything I can see is black/pink only.

>>7519637
Oh my god. I need these in my life.

>>7519948
I've looked in several places and it looks like beige is out of stock with the supplier not necessarily the shop. So it looks like you're out of luck, but I'll keep looking for you!

>>7519948
>>7520001
I spoke too soon. I found a shop that offers beige.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Big-size-casual-patent-leather-mid-heel-T-Strap-high-heel-shoes-women-s-pumps-3/751921060.html

>>7520004
You're amazing. Thanks!

>>7519543
I clicked for the coupon, but it isn't there when I go to the pay page?

>>7518549
In person, you spot fakes by the finish (Melissa essentially has three very distinguishable types of finish) and by the fact the originals are all perfectly seamless. The back part of the shoe should be absolutely smooth. In potentially manipulated stock photos, I wouldn't know what to look for though, sorry.

>>7520020
When I did this (and I did it only once) you go to "my coupons" and activate it before the item goes into your cart, I believe.

That was a general Aliexpress coupon though, good for any shop, so it may be different for shop-specific coupons. But try clicking around with the "my coupons" page and your cart.

>>7520036
I just tried that but no luck

Does "From" mean I need 2 products perhaps?

I am so desperate for a triple strap non melissa v-w knock off, it's absurd. Has anyone tried golden ponies? The reviews I've read people were like, they weren't very well made.. Or does anyone else know where I can get a triple strap flat/low heel?

>>7520040
The 'from' is just the provider of the coupon.

The amount of items in your cart is more than $100 right? Or $100 even?

>>7520047
ah that's it then/ I took >$100 as less than $100

>>7520048
Oohh no sadly it's $100 or more :( Trust me I saw the same thing when I went to check it out but the moment I saw, "$10 off $100" I was like, darn...too good to be true!

It's still a great price though.

>>7520052
oh yeah, I was going to get them from TB originally, but it seems this will save me $16 in shipping and extra weight

>>7520044
What size/color are you looking for, anon?

>>7520062
I was going to buy these in all three colors from Taobao as well, along with my order of a few dresses, some pretty substantial fabric, some not so much. Is it really a better price to buy them from Aliexpress?

>>7520076
Yeah I did a quickie with the Frugirls calculator. It would be $44 shipped for 1 pair since they probably weight around 2kg

>>7520076
It depends; lots of things on Aliexpress are only a little bit more expensive than on Taobao and offer free shipping to overseas. However they do not have as much selection or shops as Taobao.

When ordering from Taobao you pay for a shopping service and for their shipping services so it is more, however if you're doing a large order it may be worth it.

It just depends on how much the shoes cost on Taobao combined with their weight (remember shoes are pretty heavy) vs. How much they cost on Aliexpress with their base fee & free shipping.

>>7518633
I have narrow size 10 and I searched all over Taobao or the internet for knockoffs, and no was bigger than like 24cm.

>>7520079
I have a pair of these and I don't think they're that heavy. Like, maybe closer to 1kg. I'm probably not the best judge of weight, but 2kg seems a bit much for how light they feel. But also they're about a US size 5, so larger sizes probably weigh more as well.

>>7520090
I'm a 10, it's still $36 shipped vs $26 even if it was only 1kg(since I'd be ordering with a larger order and couldn't ship AIR)

>>7518333
Bumping for interest.

Which one of you bitches got them, I know buy japan won the listing.
Sobs. My poor kokoro..

>>7519082
It's from Dolly Darling. Right now the only thing keeping me from buying is the price, it's not cheap. And then I'll get hit with international shipping on top of that....

>>7518305 here, got my shoes in today and did a really long review on them
>http://cloudedeyes.tumblr.com/post/83992924564/review-of-dear-lenore-lolita-shoes-negative

I'm pretty disappointed overall, to be honest.

>>7521741
Oh wow, not cool. What about your extra pair of shoes? Did that not come in the mail, or did you just not photograph them?

>>7521757
It never came in the mail.... I'm pretty disappointed in that, too. Wish she hadn't lied to try cover her ass like that; I would've been fine with just an apology. Making promises and breaking them is just not professional

>>7521741
omggg, you're the amazingly cute nonon.

>>7521760
You should definitely say something about that if I were you. I know it isn't the worst thing to ever happen but it was seriously unprofessional.

>>7521741
This is absolutely disappointing in so many ways wow.
Thanks for doing the review, anon.

>>7521761
Haha, yea, that's me!

>>7521763
I'm not exactly sure what to do about it, though. Besides just putting it in the review and maybe posting it on her page, I don't really see any way for me to press the issue

>>7521769
If I were you I'd post it maybe on the main egl page on livejournal? I don't know if you frequent there though.

But just drop a message to her honestly like, "Hey, you said you would send these other shoes and I never got them," etc etc. Sometimes they'll refund your money. it's worth a shot, and businesses need to know when they fuck up like that.

>>7521777
I don't really use egl since livejournal takes ages to load on my computer, but I'll see if I can get it posted there.
I dropped her a message just now and she said that the free shoes hadn't been sent out yet because there still had been "issues with comfort". Not sure if I believe her, since, in the first place, she said that I'd have to wait longer for all the shoes if I wanted the extra pair (implying that she intended to send them together).

>>7521741
I had been wondering whether to get a pair I wasn't in a hurry for as the colour range is so good, but this has put me right off. Thanks for the indepth review, I'm sorry you had such a negative experience.

>>7516761
i have a pair of melissa flats and it pretty much changed my life. need more. are the heels heavy? they feel heavy when you pick them i/

>>7520427
WOW deets on these? Are these waterproof? I love chocolate, I love heeled rainboots, I want to bear its children

>>7521936
Dunno about wedges, but my heels from Melissa don't seem any heavier than other shoes. Infinitely more comfortable, though. The placement of the heel and the material of the shoe itself makes a massive difference.

>>7520004

These actually show the beige, but when you mouse over they say pink. How risky is buying them, do you guys think?

>>7520427
oh that was me. Sorry anon if it makes you feel any better I'm a die hard Q-pot fan. I was willing to go way higher than what it ended at.

>>7521938
They're Q-pot rainboots, water proof. I think they came out in 2011 but they're pretty hard to find now

>>7521940
Damn now you guys are making me wanna grab a pair of Melissa's. They seemed cute but not particularly comfortable or easy to repair if damaged (and on top, easy to damage). I'm one of those people who wouldn't get shoes unless Goodyear welted and whatnot but the jellies always intrigued me

>>7516641
Look in the archives for one of the Aliexpress threads, AEgull posted a fuck tonne of cute shoes up to size 12 in one thread
> TFW size 10 and just missed the normal common shoe size

>>7516936
Get the tiniest heel possible. Much more flattering than pure flat shoes. And rounded ends, avoid anything with the slightest point. Round like tea parties. It'll stop your feet looking bigger.

Hello does anyone have any suggestions for what shoes to wear with Theresia Rose in navy? I have big feet too, I just can't work out what to wear.

>>7522054
I would have bid higher but I know I shouldnt be spending too much money atm. Im hoping they will pop again sometime when I do! haha. Im a die hard Q-pot fan too

>>7521785
Has she commented on your review or contacted you yet?

>>7522197
She did contact me; I went to sleep so I didn't update the review yet. At first she sent me this huge message basically saying "well you already published a review on them so you're not getting shit from us" in a relatively politer way, of course. Then maybe an hour later she contacted me again and said that I could send the shoes back for a refund. I refused for all but the light red shoes (seeing as I'd have no use for them since they're the wrong color) because honestly I did not spend all that time and stress to end up having to go find another place to get shoes. She replied that I could get a 10% refund on the pairs I was keeping, and get a full refund + shipping cost for the one I was sending back. I agreed to this, and she refunded the 10%. It seemed kinda like she was back pedaling fast from her first response, but at least I got some refund, I doubt I'll get the extra shoes, but I'll live.

I'm an idiot and bought these one size too big. Do you gulls have some tried-and-true methods to make too-big shoes fit a little better? Bonus points for making cheap shoes more comfy, too.

>>7521953
Anyone? I messaged them, but since I explained the problem by saying when you mouse over the beige picture it says pink they just responded "Yes we have pink."

fuck

When ordering shoes from Aliexpress, do you use your regular shoe size? I can't decide what to pick and on one seller's listing, they said to order a size up because asian shoe sizing runs small.

>>7522430
Shit mate. I'm hoping maybe since my order was only one pair of shoes that I won't have such terrible timing issues? Then again, by now I'm more concerned over whether I'll get them at all let alone how long I'll have to wait

>>7522499
Too big: get insoles
Uncomfortable: Dr. Scholl's inserts
Too small: Put a bag of water inside the shoe, put the whole thing in the freezer, remove bag of water after it's completely frozen. The water expands and slowly stretches the shoe. Some materials can't go in the freezer though so be careful.

Another method if they're too small is wearing them around the house wit big ass hiking socks.

>>7522638
Does the page not have a sizing chart?

Man, I'd love a cute pair of pink shows with a slight heel on them.

Dunno when I'd get to wear them though.

>>7522499
Girl, are you me? I also recently bought the exact same shoes one size to big. Kicking myself because they're so comfortable but just slightly too big for me to wear.

>>7522596
Maybe just message them again, "Do you have these in beige?"

>>7522596
Anon, I found another shop that might offer beige. It's advertised as white:

>>7518716
do you happen to know what year or under what name they were released so i can search for them?

Also, does anyone own any recent meta shoes (within the past year) and can say the quality?

Curse my big feet

>>7523504
ugh i'm that size and the seller doesn't ship to the US. tried messaging the seller but eBay automatically won't let me contact them, is it just because i'm a US account? never had that happen before.

>>7522499
Stuff cotton balls in the toe. Ghetto fix.

>>7523536
yeah I just found that out too... I guess there's no way to find some kind of... UK SS?

>>7522128
My Melissa by Vivienne Westwood slingback's are kind of average for comfort, but the three strap ones are so comfy!

Best shoes for the short and fat?

>>7516323
Waiting on my first pair of Fluevogs. I've bought mostly only cheaper shoes before (60-100 price range), so I've been wearing mostly Mojo Moxy and Irregular Choice, which both have very pretty shoes, but which aren't great for comfort. I'm kind of stoked to finally be getting shoes that are meant to be comfy and last long.

Why is it so hard to find a pair of heeled mary janes? None of the local stores sell them. Cute shoes are never in my size either. I'm dyin'!

>>7527342
I bought my black heeled mary janes from khols, what is local to you?

>>7527378
Do they ship to Canada? The site it kind of confusing.

In particular, I'm looking for a pair of off-white or light brown mary jane heels. I actually had an order through Golden Ponies and after 3 weeks of waiting I was refunded without an explanation as to why. I had to e-mail the seller just to have her tell me that she forgot about my order.

1 minute of googling.
These are pretty cute, and on sale.

>>7527401
I forgot about Target! Thanks a bunch, anon.

>>7527401
They don't come in my size. At least this reminds me of some shops I've missed.

>>7527119

Nothing with ankle straps or t straps (will just make your ankles and feet look shorter and fatter) and opt for heels or wedges over platforms when possible.

Anyone seen any silver (not super glossy) short boots or granny boots with a slight heel around? Googling doesn't give me anything except lots of Uggz and kid's shoes.

Are you a man?

So do the VW gold rocking horse shoes have to be custom ordered in the gold?

>>7521741

God fuck, I was really wanting to order a pair of gold shoes from her. Antaina's gold is too damn bright for me, where do I turn now?

>>7532030
