Lolita Shoes Thread

I'm having a hard time finding pretty shoes, so please share images & links to shops with loliable shoes.

I'm a bit through with Antainna and Bodyline shoes, they're shitty quality and their designs are always a bit off.

Shoe collection with some changes, SS makes awesome quality shoes, almost brand-like; here I have both replicas and originals side by side.
How come they rarely make lolita shoes?

[Anonymous No.7703979]

I actually like Bodyline shoes. They're good for the price and and comfortable. Maybe it depends on the design. The boots are pretty shitty though.

It's easier to find loliable shoes for classic, thankfully. A couple of places and brands I like to shop/window shop for shoes from:
Modcloth
Naya Jada
Chelsea Crew
Fluevog
Miz Mooz
Clarks (UK)
Jeffrey Campbell
Vivienne Westwood (the Melissa collaborations are more affordable)
American Duchess

You might have to dig a bit since these brands obviously don't exclusively make designs that fit the lolita aesthetic.

i used to buy bodyline because they are cheap but i do not feel they are comfortable at all. i feel like im stepping on rocks, and the back of the shoe eats into my meat so it becomes painful to walk.

I need some help on the sizing of Bodyline shoes since I don't really understand the size chart and keep reading conflicting reviews. The styles I want to get are:

Shoes258
>http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=6631
Shoes194
>http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=4594
Shoes249
>http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/showProduct2.asp?id=6417

My feet are 23.8cm long and not especially wide or narrow. Normally I wear European size 37.5

I found one review saying this chart is 100% accurate for Bodyline shoes (which would mean I need size 22.5) but I remember other people saying that your size in Bodyline shoes is the same as your foot length in mm (which would mean I need size 24). I've also read that Shoes249 run big and the RHS run small. And then there was a review about Shoes258 saying that size 24.5 fit a UK size 5 perfectly which completely contradicts the chart but fits with the length=size thing.

...Help? I'm worried that I'll end up with three pairs of unwearable shoes.

How do you buy secret shop shoes? I tried looking on their taobao shop, but I only saw socks. I don't really want to buy through clobba or qutieland, either. Sorry if this is a dumb question I'm pretty new to lolita.

[Anonymous No.7704161]

>>7704142
Dont go with charts. Japanese sizes are in cm, meaning a size 23 is 23 cm. So you would need a 24 at least. RHS are narrow, so i wouldnt say they run small but that they are not for wide people, so a 24.5 may be best.

Use BL's size chart since BL uses Japanese shoe sizes, not CM. I usually wear an EU 37 and usually buy 22.5, which fit well, except for the shoes like the RHS, like you mentioned, which I bought a 23.0 of.

[Anonymous No.7704356]

I'm basically exactly the same size as you, 23.5 cm foot and between EU 37 and 38. I recently bought two pairs of Bodyline RHS (shoes194, shoes263) in 24.0 and they fit very comfortably.

There's about 1 cm of wiggle room in the back when I wear them without socks. The sole measures almost exactly 24 cm and, at their widest point, they measure about 8.5 cm across.

Hope this helps!

Trying to find cute shoes suitable for sweet in a US 10 that aren't Bodyline or cheap replicas from China is next to impossible. I don't have any trouble getting stuff for gothic or classic, but with sweet if I find a cute style the colors are wrong, or if I find the right color, they're stiletto heels or ballet flats. I've been getting back into sweet lately, but the hunt for shoes is reminding me why I found it frustrating in the first place.

Thanks anons! I guess I'll go with 24 or 24.5, then. It's confusing because Bodyline actually links that chart on their own website so you'd think it would be accurate...

I think you meant melissa gillie? Its a true to size fitting. It comes with 2 types of lacing. One glitter and the other plain. Personally, i like glitter. I dont think it works with lolita well because it makes the feet small, unbalancing the silhouette

Well i'm like 23.4 aproximately rather than a true 23 so maybe a 235 could be a bit snug for me? I have 37 shoes that I bought not on BL or chinese stores and they are a bit snug like flats or heeled mary janes, while a pair of offbrand boots with heels are 37 and fit me like a glove. Welll with boots i have no issues usually. Heeled shoes can easily rubbing the toe into the shoe box while walking, so i fear that 235 could give me pain after a not so long walk.

Go with 240 and get full gel insoles with ball and heel of the foot cushioning, they should help stop your foot from slipping around as well. You basically need gel insoles with all bodyline shoes anyway since the soles are so solid.

When I first got into lolita, I bought a pair of shoes based on a sizing chart. It was two sizes too big.

Honestly, I don't think people should ever "convert" the shoe size from pairs they own to pairs they want to know. Measure your foot. Find out if the shop sells based on insole size or foot size. Buy according to that.

Converting from shoes you own so rarely works, because every brand does their sizing differently.

I ordered my exact size and it was slightly larger than my feet. Not large enough to actually make them hard to wear though, just a bit more than wiggly room.

Just how pink are Bodyline's pink shoes? Like, both dark pink and light pink?

How well do you think they'd match the pink in Magical Etoile? I've been trying to coord the OP forever, but I'm scared to get shoes that wouldn't match. Are tea parties an absolute must with sweet? Could I get away with platform type shoes?

Goddamn I have no idea what I'm doing

Does anyone know where I can find cute, affordable lolita-able shoes in a size US Women's 4? It is such a pain in the ass to have such tiny feet, I feel like all the shoes I find are either super expensive or super cheap Asian shoes and I'm not sure how nice they are.

What are your thoughts on the JM shoes? I've been searching for pics and the older releases look better...

Pic related - the colour I want to buy. The edges look really roughly cut and unfinished. Maybe it was intentional for this release but prefer cleaner lines.

Guess it applies to everyone having trouble finding their size.They also carry small sizes and different widths.

I've seen them irl, in my opinion they look really cheap and plasticy and are obviously costume shoes. But then I've had that opinion about brand shoes too, so it depends on what you like.
