/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Anything with low wedges will be comfortable long long periods of time. The best thing I can recommend is breaking the shoes in well beforehand and gel insoles. Sweet, sweet gel insoles.

I will never find VW Anglomania 3 strap heels in gold. Ever.
But man I wish I would!

I also need comfy shoes, and good ones for more classic and elegant coords. Sometimes Mojo Moxy and Irregular Choice has something good...but it's been a while since I looked.

Also, gel insoles will definitely save your feet.

vibram makes some great flat shoes that look great with sweet

Don't give up hope, anon! I found mine on eBay after looking for about a year. If you download the eBay app on your phone you can track specific search terms so that you'll know whenever the shoes come up for sale in your size.

I'm just going to dump affordable, comfortable lolita shoes.

>>7799920
looking for a flat shoe (no heel please) with size 11. Anyone have any sellers anywhere for that?

>>7800043
>Blue Lacey Sneakers
size translation to US? I tried looking it up already

>>7800159
Do you mean size 10.5 or 12? None of my shoe size charts/converters account for size 11. What's your Japanese shoe size?

>>7799951
Set up a search like "vivienne Westwood gold [shoe size]) on ebay, so that it emails you every time there's a new listing that fits the search.

It may take a while, but slow and steady wins the race.

>>7799997
Any pics of these worn?

>>7800166
I.. I don't know.. I guess my foot is closer to 12 than 10.
so size 11(or 12) = ? in japanese?

Where do you guys usually go in terms of boots? I really want a cute flat pair of boots and was considering some engineer boots.

Anyone have any idea how to pierce a hole in a strap of a pair of bodyline shoes without damaging them majorly?

SO, long story short, a week ago I ordered melissa ballet flats from the melissa shop and I received an email saying they are in fact out of stock - a week after I ordered them.
This leaves me with exactly a week to get a pair of shoes for a big event.

Ladies, any ideas on what shoes I should go with?? Any place that ships super quickly? Pic very much related. I wear size 7.5 us or 23.5/24

Im sorry if this post doesn't belong here, but I figured I'd give it a go since this thread is dedicated to all shoes.

>>7800172
Size 12 is a size 285 in Japan or Size 44 for Europe/Taobao.

I searched Antaina for Size 44 in heels under 3cm. Go nuts.

>>7800184
Amazon has tons of Melissa shoes that are Prime eligible.

>>7800193
I looked through all the melissa shoes and nothing really matches

At this point it doesnt have to be melissa so long as the shoes match. I would use a pair i owned but I think brown tea parties would be too much brown on the bottom and pic related would be too much red

>>7800250
If you added a red hair/head accessory, the red shoes wouldn't be too much. Just switch out the bag for a light one.

>>7799997
I have them in red; I say 4/5 comfortable, they hurt me a little on the back of my ankles

(sorry for shitty english)

>>7799997
I have these, they're pretty nice imo. I get lots of compliments, even by normies

>>7800184
Where are those tights from?

>>7801020
Sakizo tights.

>>7801024
Thank you anon!

I got these bad boys a month or so ago. They're hell on your feet so get some insoles and they're near impossible to find apparently. I lucked out and got them at Shoe Show for under $15.

>mfw it took 10 minutes just to find a picture

>>7801050
Forgot the important details

Brand: Hot Tomato
Colors: black / white

>>7801050
>near impossible to find
https://www.google.com/shopping/product/10409281345918975467
They're not $15, but hey, if anyone needs a pair...

>>7801050
I got the exact same shoes at a thrift store for $6. Love them.

>>7801050
Those are cute. I found a pair of similar shoes at a thrift store(the heels are a little shorter thought) at a thrift shop. Paid like, $4 for them.

Also recently got these at Ross.

>>7801061
Oh yay! And I'm glad you found them. I've been googling the brand just trying to find a listing and couldn't find shit.

>>7801058
so cute, but that arch would murder my feet

>>7801114
They appear to be from a different brand which I just happened to be browsing a bit ago, so I still had a tab open with these shoes in "related". Kind of funny - I wonder what the difference between the brands are?

>>7801134
I think Hot Tomato is more a budget brand so they're probably less comfortable. They're made well but there's absolutely no cushion in them and since they're a size larger than I wear that doesn't help much either.

This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm new to gel insoles, but is it necessary to go a size up if you want to use them? I'd like some for the shoes I already have, but if they will make my feet cramped I won't bother.

>>7800165
How hard is it to google "Shoe Size Converter"? You're looking for US to Europe sizes.

Anywhere I can find shoes similar to Jane Marple's 3 strap Mary Janes? Price isn't an issue, just needs to fit a size 9/euro 40.

I think chie mihara has some fantastic looking shoes. I also think some styles of Swedish hasbeens would look great with some otome outfits.

>>7800184
fucking hell i ordered those too
what size? 7 or 8?

>>7800180
Use a needle to start, poke the hole, and then find something slightly bigger, poke it through (I'd usually use a ballpoint pen if the shoes are black) and then you should be able to fit the buckle.

Are there things to make the sides of your feet not have blisters/hurt?

Not lolita, but has anyone bought these platform t straps from ebay/ali and will they fall apart after 3 wears?

>>7800180
heat up a thick needle/metal skewer over a gas flame, be gentle and slow.

>>7801778
There are stick-on silicone strips you can stick onto trouble spots. I know because I saw them at Walmart for $3.50, and thought about putting them in a $9 pair of shoes from Target. I just donated the shows instead.

>>7801153
Depends. If it's a full insole then you'll probably need a half size for wiggle room. If you're just adding arch support, you don't have to worry about that making the shoe tighter, generally.

>>7799997
As someone who struggles with weak ankles, I ran around the whole Saturday of a con in these and was fine. and they are cute as fuck. I'v actually been thinking about buying them in a second color

>>7801767
Nope, theyre all out of stock. I emailed again after asking if they had size 8 (I had ordered the 7) and they said theyre all out of stock.

>>7802175
aw shit
well thanks for warning me at least anon
i ordered the size 7 and it was like 1 or two cm too tight but ill try the hair dryer method and see if that works
they hurt as-is but at this point im grateful for a pair at all

>>7802512
If you decide not to keep them, would you sell them to me? I doubt I'll have them in time for the event anywhere I look but theyve been on my wishlist for a while too
Sigh.
dropped email above if you ever do

Should I get Fluevogs Caravaggios in Burgundy or Black? Black is obviously going to be a shit ton more versatile, but the burgundy is seriously gorgeous.

>>7802512
Hey, I actually just called up the NY store and they have them in stock, I'll likely be going tomorrow. Would you like the size 8 pair? I could SS for you if youd like, lemme know!

>>7802667
Look at your wardrobe/ what you plan on buying and also at the shoes you own - do you already own a nice pair of black shoes? If so maybe the burgundy would be best. It all depends,

>>7802667
I bought both, but unless you have a lot of bordeaux in your closet, i would go with black.

found these in a local store today and somehow fell a bit in love...

>>7802689
no thats ok
im doing the hairdryer thing right now and it seems to be working
but thanks!

>>7802667
In real life, I much prefer the black. The burgundy has this weird rough texture/look to the leather, kind of like it was sanded almost? It's not like a normal smooth leather. I really disliked it so I went with black.

>>7801045
Most welcome.

>>7800184

Too bad you need white. They have em in black on Nordstrom

>>7800184
Lucky you, those ballet flats are tacky as fuck.

What's the size conversion from 225 to US?
I wanted to buy shoes from bodyline but I didn't see a sizing chart for their shoes.

Also, I'm a size 4.5 (womens), and I've considered just getting kids shoes and painting them with leather paint. What's a good way to go about decorating? if I can find shoes in my size that are good for sweet I wouldn't bother with this tbh.

>>7802714
They're so tacky that they're beautiful.

>>7799997
I guess my feet are fat and disgusting, I have them in brown, love them, but the strap across hurts like a bitch. They're loose everywhere else except that fucking strap, too.

>>7799951
Are you looking for the heeled version, or the ballet flats?

A US size 10 of the VW three-strap FLAT in gold is on ebay now (seller is in the US)

http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=221541784961

>>7803620
225 = 225mm = 22.5cm
I wouldn't trust Bodyline's size conversion. Just measure yo feets.

Can someone dump some links to cheap shoes in US10/42/26cm? I'm talking aliexpress/ebay cheap. My giant clown feet need kawaii shoes.

>>7800184
UK stockist nonnon has them on sale. They state shipping takes 2-3 days from dispatch

>>7804317
Durr, sorry for posting that ebay link and getting your hopes up. Your post clearly said "heels". Sorry.

Anybody else who's interested in it, have a go. I would buy them if my skin didn't look do bad with gold.

>>7804461
*so bad, not do bad

I am not with it this morning, clearly

>>7801778
wear a pair of nylon peds for a little extra cushion.

Here's a link to ebay with US sizes. Didn't look at first link so I don't know how the prices match up.

>>7804722
I got super sad because my bf gave me those and everyone said they were ugly as shit.
well, fuck it I'm wearing them anyway

>>7804848
h.. holy shit those are hideous.

>>7804860

>>7804760
they're not though?
I get compliments on those babies daily even when i dont wear jfashion
i'm not about to take shoe advice from a community that worships tea parties

Ok how fix
I bought them with that small scuff for $5 and it kind of got worse due to me being clumsy. I'm not trying to resell them or anything, I just want it to look less terrible. Should I try a clorox wipe for the black scuffs then a little red paint on the totally dead parts?

>>7803595
>>7804358
Thanks for the heads up, but i went to NYC today and got them there. The store was super beautiful too!

>>7803612
See pic related.
They are cute and if you dont like your pair you can send them my way. Thanks! :-)

>>7804906
/thread

>>7805155
(Diff anon) It was actually seeing them in person at the NYC store that turned me off of them, I thought the glitter, treads and chunkiness looked tacky as hell in person.

>>7805129
Rubbing alcohol and use red nail polish/paint and thin gloss coat.

>>7804906
Nice butthurt. The shoes are still ugly.

>>7806447
Thanks anon!
Kind of lumpy, but I'm cool with it.

>>7806438
>glitter
They don't have glitter. Do you mean the pearly sheen?
>treads
You mean the tip part that indicates the bunched fabric gathering on pointe shoes? I own pointe shoes, and its emulating that.
>chunkiness
bruh, you sure we're talking about the same shoe?

kek

>>7801145
Hey anon, I'm the one who linked to the Mojo Moxy version of the shoe you got. I stopped by Shoe Show the other day and actually got the same shoes as you for $11! Shoe twins, haha. Damn they are uncomfortable though.

>>7807222
These ballarina shoes are super pretty, I have them in yellow

>>7807222
Pretty sure anon is talking about the gold version of the Ballet IV. Pic related, ugly as sin. The other ones in this release are not glittery though.

>>7807222
Chunk is on the heeled version, pic related

>>7807263
Yes

The entire style family is pretty fug.

>>7807322
The flats and the heels look totally different.
I think the heels are gross, and so are the glitter ones (ew, never seen those till now)

Anon how about we agree to acknowledge that we have different opinions and that you just have bad taste?

Polite sage for this nonsense.

>>7807248
I actually just spotted them in a shoe store in the mall as well for that price. Now you know my suffering, anon. Get a really good pair of cushioned insoles.

>>7805129
>>7806731

It looked painful. Good thing you could restore it

>>7807322
I really like my pair! I get a lot of compliments from strangers

>>7807819
>>7807322
I dunno, ballet is supposed to be delicate and graceful. Those look obnoxious and clunky to me.

I was thinking about ordering a pair of shoes from Dear Lenore, but I've read so many bad reviews I'm afraid to now. I hear it's mostly because they're very slow, which is a problem considering I need a pair of white heels by the end of the month. It's hard to find heels that aren't that chunky block heel, I think they look kind of tacky. Any suggestions on where to look?

>>7801791
link??

>>7805129
>>7806447
>>7806731
good save anon! im gonna tell my friend to do
this bcs oh boy are her bl boots fucked up man

>>7807819
those are cute! clunky, but cute. i dont think i like the tips though.

>>7800039
Those are hideous.

>>7807819
Are they confortable?

>>7807819
Those look really uncomfortable, but they are cute!

Is there anything I can do about these shoes? They actually fit pretty well, but the problem is that the edge/opening is really wide, so it gaps when I stand. Is there anything to do about this?

>>7806731

Wow that actually looks pretty good anon, well done!

Thinking about buying these shoes for navy coords. Do you think they'd work or are they too blue and not dark enough?

>>7808829

Sauce anon? I need some blue shoes too.

>>7808830
Not that anon but I'm pretty sure modcloth.

>>7808829
If you go through the customer reviews, customers usually show pics.

>>7808830
Modcloth!

>>7808842
Yeah I looked but IDK if you all think they'd go with navy.

>>7807819
I love them and am totally gonna get a pair.

>>7808199
>>7808576
They're really comfortable! I had to go down a size because they were 1 cm too big. I normally wear a US size 6 and had exchange them for a size 5.

>>7808863
You'll love them!

>>7808862
I don't think they are that dark. They look pretty bright.

From this customer picture, the shoes look bright. I have the dress that's pictured and that dress is a very, very dark blue. The shoes contrast quite a lot.

If you also look at the pic by reviewer Colleen, you can see how the laces and shoe contrast quite a lot. I don't think this will match that many navy coords unless you have various shades of blue.

>>7808829
>>7808892

Then I'd love a link to comfortable and attractive navy shoes that would fit a classic coord since these are too royal blue.

>>7808829
>>7808892
Yikes thats a huge fucking difference

>>7807819
You guys are killing me here, I've bought SO many shoes lately but I need these.

And if anyone snarks "no you don't NEED those you need air" I will fucking smack you through the Internet swear to god.

>>7808902
I bought from antaina, but if you have money get fluevogs

Are ankle boots like these acceptable in gothic?

I have these and a pair of bodyline pumps, but these are much more comfortable so I'd rather wear them for meets that need walking.

>>7809211
Maybe for a casual coordinate.

>>7808033
Ballet is delicate,but pointe shoes look clunky as fuck when you're not on pointe
idk why you make a collection modeling pointe shoes, but it would definitely not be a delicate or graceful one

>>7808902
Chelsea Crew makes shoes in a nice medium blue color sometimes that's between royal and navy. I don't know if they have any styles right now though.

>>7809211
Yes however the ones you have pictured are too utilitarian looking, imo. If you're going to buy booties for lolita, they should have some kind of details that make them more edgy or elegant.

Opinions on these as navy classic shoes?

>>7809253
I've seen these IRL and imo the color is lovely, but the ventilated material and the shape overall make them look sort of bowling or golf shoe-ish and not very flattering for lolita. A bit too old looking or only for "faux retro" outfits. They have better shoes with T-straps or ankle straps that are much more flattering.

>>7809259
At this point I'm desperate for comfortable navy shoes that would work with lolita under $150 and don't come from taobao. If there are better ones please link!

>>7808583
Nobody will actually notice that, and they'll see a different angle anyway so it's doubtful it will be noticeable.

>>7809268
What about these?
http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-heels/dynamic-debut-heel-in-navy

>>7809293
I was hoping for a more oxford shape shoe with inclosed sides. Not a big fan of any of the blue shoes I've seen on modcloth except the too-blue ones I posted earlier

^I'm down with Mary Janes too

I'm planning on buying these shoes ( in black) to wear with my more 'fancy' outfits for special occasions, I've been told the sizing chart on them is a bit random.

I'm a UK size 4-5 so does anyone have any idea what I should go for?

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-Womens-Pumps-Platform-Thick-Heels-14cm-Cross-Strap-Women-Shoes-Fashion-Sexy-High-heels/1805209330.html

>>7809322
If it helps, I've noticed that when I get heels from China, I need to order a Chinese size 36. Also, I'm a UK size 4.5 which makes me a Chinese size 38, which I use when buying flats.

>>7809307
>>7809293
I want to kiss aliexpress' ass. I found the perfect shoes in both colors I wanted.

My body is ready for those navy oxfords

>>7806731

>>7807819
Curses on you anon, I wanted to take a break from draining my bank account. They look really great.

I have a paif of bodyline heeled shoes that are a bit large on the back, i cannot pick a size smaller because my big toe is huge.These gel grip thingies could work?

>>7811594
You can add a piece of gel heel grips. They should be enough to help cushion your heel and make them fit better.

Adding to my Melissa collection!! I have 6 pairs already and I lovee them.

>>7812546
I have the Lady Dragon in blackXgold, favourite shoes !

I don't understand why lolitas love Melissa shoes so much, they look so fuckig cheap and tacky.

>>7812555
They're my first pair!! I've been wanting them for so long haha Id love to see a picture of your shoes

>>7812577
Because they paired up with VW that one time.

>>7812588
>>7812577
Because they manufacture most VW shoes.

>>7812577
Well I had several Melissa shoes before getting into lolita sooo.... Plus they're comfortable and easy to clean.

The only pair that most lolitas want are the triple strap anglomania heels, gold being the most popular (gold shoes are now a hit regardless of the brand). I've seen maybe the triple strap flats being worn, but they were reminiscent of those bordello boots that were popular way back when.

>>7807819
reminds me of the posters I used to use for my human trafficking awareness project.

I'm preparing a Sailor Moon-inspired gyaru coord, and I need pink shoes to match pic related and the hair bow I'm wearing. Ideas?

Ordered these shoes finally

They sold them at Kohls so I did a couple coupons and got them for $33 (plus a pair of earrings to set the coupons overboard). I'm so pumped

>>7808583
>>7807819

> tfw I spotted these shoes going for 2/3 of what I paid for
I like how they look and they're pretty comfy. This is coming from someone with flat feet who's very picking with shoes.

> also sorry for my terrible bow-tying skills

>>7813120

>>7813120
> picking with shoes
Picky. I meant picky.

I have nothing to wear this with but I want them because they're so ridiculously absurd and cute at the same time.

>>7813381
Sauce on them please?

>>7813381
fuck those are cute.

>>7799997
I love these but had to order them half a size up to fit comfortably. I bought brown and black then bought black again after the first pair wore out from wearing them every day for 6 months to work.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the Melissa x vw anglomania 3 strap heels fit? Thanks.

Just ordered these to go with my ouji and visual kei coords. So excited~!

>>7813626
They're totally true to size for me. The flats, however, run about a half size big.

>>7813868

My god, this company has some amazing shoes. If I'm gonna drop $150 on shoes, I better have some damn interesting looking shoes.

>>7816486
IC is amazing and the shoes are even more beautiful IRL, but I'd just advise from personal experience, their shoes aren't very comfortable at all. Their slightly lower end subbrand is Poetic License which you can buy from more places, like I think even Macy's carries them sometimes?

>>7816495
Yeah. I figure it's one of those cases you're going to be uncomfy as fuck but have some amazing looking shoes.

They seem like shoes to be worn for photoshoots or very short periods of time. I do want the Rabbit shoes for my Alice JSK though.

>>7816502
Yeah, pretty much! I have one pair I absolutely love to death but I was in so much arch and toe pain from just walking down the street in them that I'm afraid to wear them again... and I went through a lot of trouble to hunt them down, so I'm very reluctant to give up on them. Definitely put some insoles in or only wear for a photoshoot! The construction is great though.

>>7816486
Just plan to have extra space/go a size up for full gel insoles

I'm looking for a new pair of everyday shoes. The ones I usually wear have about a three inch heel- very easy to walk in.
I love the ones on the left, they look so...school-ish? I dont know
But the ones on the other side are gorgeous as well. I cant decide between them. What do you think, /cgl/?

>>7817716
right

>>7817716
do you have a link to both pairs?

>>7817734
yes! I was actually wondering if anyone had a cheaper version of leftie. Its not expensive or anything, but if I could get them cheaper I'd like it. If not, thats fine.

>>7817716
Definitely the right.

>>7817716
I think these look cheap and won't hold up to everyday wear. You want to invest in a good pair of everyday shoes, unless you don't mind constantly replacing them. The ones on the right are cuter, but they aren't practical if you're going to wear them all the time.

>>7817767
Mm, you're probably right. My last pair I got at a thriftstore for 7$, and I've had them maybe two years? But who knows what brand they came from
I think I'm safer going for the ones on the left, unless I find a better pair.They would match my outfits better, I think.
Thanks for all the help, gulls

Can anyone find the shoes in this coord? I've been lusting after them for months...

Anyone have any experience with Charm Shoes on Amazon?

I just came across them and they look to sell the same sorts of shoes as taobao, aliexpress, and lovely shoes, and the prices seem fairly comparable.

I have some amazon gift cards and I'm considering the shoes pictured.

Here are some links to some lolita-able shoes for those interested

How are Liz Lisa heels? I may be getting a pair but worried that they will be uncomfortable.

>>7818557
they're really comfortable! i have a few pairs of their wedges and pumps and they're great

>>7817846
These are adorbs.

>>7817846
I also found these while browsing your amazon finds:

>>7818563
Did you find them true to size?

>>7818557
Liz lisa shoes are terrible . Theyre uncomfortable. I have a pair of theirbooties

>>7818582
yeah the pairs that i own are, but my friend said their boots can run a little small but ive never had a pair personally

Can I have some fitting advice? I'm so confused about shoes and I generally wear a 24.5 in japanese sizes, but my sizes on this size chart for a pair of shoes I'm after show a different size. I'm so confuu, can anyone advise?

>>7818626
thanks, I'll go order some then!

>tfw I finally found a pair of VW x Melissa 3 strap flats in my size on ebay in the color I wanted

FINALLY

>>7821737
I totally feel you

>just bought pick related

>>7821737
I totally feel you

>just bought pic related

>>7821991
wtf I just did the same, party timeee

>>7821737
>>7821991
>>7822233

Party time!!!!
I'm hoping they fit, but if they don't I'm sure they'll be easy to get rid of.

>>7821991
I have a pair of the pink ones. They're absolutely perfect. Enjoy your great shoes, Anon!

>>7815225
Search for "oxford pump" or "oxford heel" on Amazon. You're not going to get that exact two-color pattern, but you can get close.

Any links to shoes similar to these? Everything I find looks cheap or they're peep toe heels.

>>7821991
I pretty much want to own these in every colour. I have these in gold and beige but I kinda feel like I need the black one too.

>>7819943
Did you measure your foot properly? You need to stand on a hard surface, trace around your foot on paper whilst standing and measure heel to toe...

>>7821991
Congratulations anon!

Where to cop?

>>7822286
Oh god, the pink are super tempting even though they won't match a lot of my stuff.
And thank you!

>>7822647
What are the beige ones like?
I see a lot of pics of the gold, but hardly any of the beige.

>>7822672
They're the Melissa x Vivienne Westwood Anglomania 3 Strap heels. They're an older release so I got these second hand from ebay. They weren't listed very well so I only found them by chance.

>>7822321
naturalizer (I think it was naturalizer? one of the comfort shoe brands) has a two-tone oxford right now, but it has a rather low heel and looks pretty old lady shoe compared to OP's pic.

>>7822647
Same, I have gold and would really like to get black and pearl/ivory eventually. They're just soooo comfy!

>>7799970
Would look good with some good silk ribbon tied around the ankles/legs

>>7799997
Absolutely not!
They were perfect in length, but so fucking wide! And my feet ARE wide.

>>7800012
I love these to bits, especially in the white + colour combos, they look like sponge cakes.

>>7805129
completely smother them swarvoski

>>7806731
>left shoe, toe bit
You missed a spot!
Otherwise, I'm impressed... I need to try this now.

>>7807819
Fuck complimenting the shoes, what about your legs

>>7817716
I tried some cheap shoes for "everyday" where, but they ached my feet rare before they fell apart.

>>7822233
>>7821991
>>7821737
As did I, whaddaya know. (I got the heels version in burgandy leather)

>>7822286
The ones with the bows are so cute, I'd get these too if I saw them.

>>7822286
I have these, too! Do you have any tips or suggestions for legwear to make it "match better" with pink pieces? I've found that it's slightly-lavender tint makes it look weird next to normal pinks, and absolutely impossible to wear with peaches.

So I lost the link to this site, but I believe it was EU (prices in Euros I think) and it sold secret shop shoes. I think it had a pink background but nothing I search brings it up. I remember someone posting in one of the FB sales groups looking for the ETC gold shoe replicas and someone linked this site that had all the secret shop models available, does anyone know which site I'm talking about?

Have been looking through the sales groups for the post and googling dozens of different keywords to try and pull it up.

They had tps, the etc knock offs, the ap engi boots, the VM short boots, etc.

Was not clobba, this place wasn't based in US.

>>7807819
Does anyone have the source on these shoes? They're similar to >>7807819 but seem more structured and made out of better materials.

>>7824670
They look cheaper to me.

>>7824670
They look like replicas made out of cardboard.

>>7824670
I can understand that some people don't like the material of >>7807819, but those look really cheap!

I couldn't find them, I'm sorry, but there seem to be nice ones from Alexander McQueen and Dior.

>>7822692
Sorry, by beige I meant "nude". I got these on sale which added to my excitement about finding them. My skin tone is yellow + medium light for reference.

>>7824721
They're cute!
We have a similar skin tone by the sounds of it.

>>7824721
They look super cute in nude, I sorta regret buying the black. Though my skintone is asian/medium...

>>7824753
Well black is the safest option! At least you know it won't be too hard to match. I contemplated red but it doesn't go with much of my wardrobe.

I'm Asian as well and what sold me on nude was when I saw some trendy-looking Korean chicks work them, haha.

>>7824757
Ugh, the red are to die for, but yes they'd only match two outfits of mine! My friend has them, so gorgeous. I am after a lighter pair of heels, either ivory or cream, but maybe nude is a good option too?

>>7824331
I usually try to stay with whites, creams and even just cute ankle socks with the lace frill. I try to keep it simple because kinda have the same problem but damn are these shoes cute.

>>7822286
They look so cheap though. Like Barbie shoes. I don't understand why you'd want shoes that look like they're made of straight up plastic.

>>7824774


That's both part of it and not part of it.

They do look a bit plastic and a bit like jelly. It's kind of cool to have shoes that are a bit see-through, or that aren't made of conventional materials like normal canvas or leather.

And yes, they do look a bit like Barbie shoes, and Barbie was a style icon. They're fun, they're not meant to be high end hand crafted heritage leather shoes to begin with, just fun shoes.

At the same time, for "plastic shoes", I really haven't found any other brand that is Melissa's equivalent. Other el cheapo jelly/plastic shoes tend to have shiny plastic and have ridges in weird places where the molds come together. Melissa is the one brand that consistently does GOOD plastic shoes.

I guess if you aren't into the plastic/jelly shoes look then it all looks the same to you, just take our word for it, the quality is definitely there.

>>7824774
They're so nice in person though. They don't look really plastically, almost rubbery and they smell like bubblegum. Not to mention incredibly cute.

>>7824784
Jellies look like shit 100% of the time on grown adults.

They're cute on a 4-year-old.

is $50 a good price for brand new Liz Lisa wedges?

Ok, I'm in a bit of a pinch. I need a pair of gold shoes in size 9/25.5/40 that will get to the usa before October 1st?
Or ivory. Trying to get something that will go with twinkle carnival, pic related.

>>7824784
I absolutely hate jelly shoes but love Melissa's plastic shoes. There's a clear difference in quality and style, imo.

>>7824865

Yes.

That is the whole point.

Melissa shoes DON'T look like shit on grown adults.

Every OTHER jelly shoes do.

>>7824721
These are adorable! I'm so jealous!

>>7824769
Thank you! Time to invest in such tights, then. Yes, they are so cute.

Melissa! That's the brand name! I found an adorable pair of navy blue flats with a bubblegum pink bow a long time ago and I can't find it anymore. Not even on Google. They looked like pic related except with a pink bow.

Anyone have any keywords I can use or have an idea where I can find them?

>>7826733

Looks like one of the ultragirl series. There's a lot of variation on Ultragirl, though, I can't keep up with how many they've done.


Sort of off tangent. I love the quality of Melissa shoes, but they really need to make some shoes that aren't high heel ankle-killers or stubby flats. The only kitten heels I've come across are the Karl Lagerfeld shoes and I already bought those (and they're wonderful, but so pointy)

>>7826867
Thereis the melissa mermaid, pic related

Possibly

Has anyone bought JetJ shoes before? I want to buy these in black, but I'm usually a size M and there's only size L in stock, so I'm hoping to hear that they run small.

>>7829089
I need these shoes in my life

>>7824875
Anyone? I need to decide before someone else buys them!

Does anyone have experience with these or pictures of them worn? I've searched high and low but pretty much can't find anything about CP that isn't about their petticoats.

>>7833289
Just look at their online store to see what similar shoes run for new... It's not that hard

>>7824875
>>7833289

I don't get it. What's so unusual about your 50USD Liz Lisa shoes that you have to ask us whether it's a good price instead of comparing to the brand new shoes from the shop?

>>7815225
BAIT footwear has released oxfords like those, dunno about quality but they seem nice
Pic related

>>7833678
I've only seen them worn rather than owning them and they look nice, the girl wearing didn't say much about them otherwise though

Any experience ordeing shoes from Dress Lily?

>>7807819
CURSE my big feet! I wear a US11.5 and Melissa only carrys until size US10. I've tried them on... I can manage to squeeze my foot into them, but there's no way I can wear them for real. But I did take picrelated, those were the happiest 10 seconds of y life wearing them.
>mfw I have such big feet I've worn ugly shoes my whole bloody life

>>7839947
Has anybody actually tried shoe stretching to trying to up the size a bit on shoes? I think it works depending on the shoe material.

Also I was passing by a Clarks shop in the mall the other day and noticed some really cute shoes in their window display. From what I can tell looking at their website, their Ciera line would work nicely with classic and goes up to at least a size 12.

From reading reviews, their shoes are suppose to be pretty damn comfy. If they're that comfortable and last nicely, might be worth the 100+ pricetag.

>>7818557
Honestly it depends. Which ones are you thinking of? I have a pair of boots in size L which fit perfectly and are so comfortable could wear all day, but bought a new pair recently also in L that are a little tight and not so bad after a few hours, but painful after walking all day.

>>7799920
where can i get the shoes in your picture? i love them!

>>7833184
No they run pretty true to their L and M sizes in my experience.

>>7807819
is it weird of me to think your legs are beautiful? n-no homo....

>>7839976
Clark's is spectacular for comfort and the quality lasts. I've had a pair of ankle boots from them for years and have worn them frequently/long stretches quite comfortably.

>>7833184
They're just normal pumps with some feathers and ribbon on the back. Buy a regular cheap pair that fit you, and get your glue gun out

>>7840317
shopmelissa.com/

>>7839976
Oh yes, I do it all the time (same anon you replied to). It does, in deed, depend on the material. Real leather stretches very good, fabric not so much. PU leather is nearly impossible to stretch. In the case of these melissas there is nothign to stretch as it's plastic.
Thank you for sharing those shoes! Sadly I live nowhere close to the US, and each time I try to purchase shoes from USA or Europe, the shipping costs are ridiculous. Payless won't ship to my country, they do have stores here but they only carry shoes up to size 11 and refuse to order some in size 12 extra for me, even if I pay in advance (bloody bastards). I think I'm pretty fucked. I'm buying shoes fromChina now. It's risky, because in many cases the fit tsn't right either and they may be poorly made, but it's my only way to find pretty shoes.

I bought shoes kinda like RHS without straps. Unfortunately they are kind of too big for me, and this kind of insoles are doing nothing. I thought about getting the silicone insoles which you put inside the shoe to help the feet stay in place, but I still don't know if they are going to hold clothed skin.

Would sewing two straps in X shape help me with this problem?

>>7840969
Full gel inserts and possibly some foam padding in the toe will help.

Just picked these up at Payless for $30

>>7841398
Probably could have found the same thing at the thrift store for $8...

>>7841398
You seriously paid that much for generic brogues?

>>7842486
Honestly, I would rather have paid more at Clark's for a bit of quality at least...

>>7842311
Been looking for ages, nothing has popped up. I couldn't even find any cheap ones on Taobao that I liked that would have been worth it.

>>7842491
I've had Payless sneakers last me like 6 years of constant abuse, I don't understand the vendetta against them TBH.

>>7842486
Not like they're anywhere else for significantly cheaper without being ugly or babby sized.

>>7833678
I don't have these, but I do have a pair of CP boots and I like them. They are well made and comfy.

>>7839947
>mfw I have such big feet I've worn ugly shoes my whole bloody life
Same here! I'm a US size 12-13 (depending on the brand) and pretty much the only thing stopping me from getting into J-fashion is lack of cute shoes in big sizes. The shoes in >>7839976 are adorable and come in a 12, but I've never worn Clarks before so I'm not sure of their sizing, and even then I'm quite tall already so I'm not too keen on wearing anything that'll make me taller.

The only site I can find that sells decent shoes for big feet is Barefoot Tess, but there don't seem to be many styles that catch my eye for the fashions I'm interested in (classic lolita and otome). If anyone has any links that'd be of use I'd appreciate it!

>>7839947
>>7847356
Pleaser subbrands? Bordello, demonia and funtasma appear to do large sizing

>>7808872
Anon, if you're still around, and if it's not too much trouble, would you be willing to measure the insole of the ballet heels?

>>7847356
yeah, why not Drag Queen shoes? do it
>>7847787

Does anyone know where I can get funtasma shoes? I'm Aus based but happy to buy online internationally.

do you know where can I get vivienne shoes? do they still sell the winged and heart shaped ones?

I feel insecure about buying them online since tehy cost a fortune and I don't want to end up in fake shoes.

>>7852604
Do you mean like the ones in OP's pic? Those can be found on the Melissa site. Idk where to get them in person, though. Hopefully someone else is more helpful

Anywhere I can get a wide variety of lolita/alt fashion shoes in size 12 besides an tai na?
I hate having huge feet, its the bane of my existence.

>>7813120
Not even joking when I say I'm going to track down these shoes and buy a pair of black slouchy socks just so I can also have this look. 10/10, anon

>>7852640
Not specifically lolita but if you wear gothic than pleaser and the sub brands will cater for you. Otherwise some secret shop shoes and bodyline shoes should fit. Oh also possibly Irregular choice.
