Would you ladies wear these shoos?

shoos

They are way to manly for me, I prefer heels

For conservative ladies footwear I like the offerings of John Lobb.

Those Lobbs are wonderful. Real classics.

Anyone able to find the Carmina website. They have some good ones that l recall seeing once.

OMG! Those are amazing!!!!!

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

My chap has a couple of pairs of Lobbs, I have to say it's an ambition of mine to own a pair of the ladies shoes ... one day!

 

[imoldfashioned]

Oh, the Lobbs! But 6463 pounds for one pair of shoes? I can't even fathom paying that amount of money.

 

[Lovely Leah]

I can't even fathom paying that kind of money for the Lobbs. A while back I posted this link. http://www.pwminor.com/Products/Detail/?ProductID=16. Those shoes were well over $200.00, but given my mobility issues well worth the price. I still can't believe the cost of the Lobbs!!!

 

[MissAmelina]

Yes...and i would feel like Marlene Deitrich. Gender bending and Sexy. But someone else would have to buy them for me. And those Lobbs are amazing.

That's for crocodile. Standard calf are only £2,360.

That must be something like a 1000% markup.

That's something that's come under debate just this morning.

BTW, these are bespoke shoes.

 

[Emer]

The black Epsoms are nice, a little masculine but they're nice loafers. The rest are a bit too manly for my tastes.

I would never buy bespoke shoes! I would be so worried about getting them dirty or scuffed that I'd never wear them. One good step in dog poo and I'd be in tears. I have a hard time paying over $100 for a pair of shoes now because no matter how expensive they are, they always look beat up after a year's wear. $200 leather gets scuffed just as easily as $50.

I do know that but Baron is right in that other thread IMHO. Bespoke might make them worth $1000...

When the price nears the stratosphere it's called patina.

Sorry, I'm not a fan of patina, not in my shoes, not in my good silver, no where.

Well, in the world of men's high end footwear certain makers will painstakingly apply a faux patina to the uppers at the time of manufacture. (There are also cobblers in Paris who specialize in after market patina application). [huh] Personally, I like a patina acquired by age and usage and would much rather earn it the old fashioned way, through wear.

I know patina is favored by some, but I hate it in all it's forms

l was reading somewhere that some of Lattanzi's exotic shoes can run $120,000.

Here is some more womens shoes at Carmina. http://www.carminashoemaker.com . Click on English, go to "the collection" and click on the women's tab

That's why l love mens shoos so much; a good pair will last a long time. You gals are always getting ripped off when it comes to quality.

l notice alot of people here hate `patina'. l'm not too fussed about it myself: often comes off anyway.

Patina significantly adds to the cost.....takes alot of man hours to do some shoos.
