Opinions on espadrilles

tara t · Marc Jacobs

i like them. i bet you'd wear them all the time. i wear that color shoe the most.

but here are some others

member · Hermes

NC - if you're interested in either of these, I'd be happy to give you a review.

- I own these

- these should be coming today in the mail, but I think I'm going to love these and return the BR ones.

I have a sandal really similar to this, but it's just a regular wedge, no an espadrille wedge, and I find them really versatile.

But I can see why you'd be hesitant at spending over $100 on espadrilles (ouch

)

Those are REALLY cute!

shopchicago - would you mind reviewing the br ones? TIA!

NCshopper · Hermes

I'd love to hear a review of the BR one, shopchicago33!

I guess my main concern about spending the money on the Charles David ones is how long they'd last. I've never had espadrilles before and so I don't know how long I can expect them to stay in good shape. I'm assuming Charles David shoes are pretty decent quality, but I'd just be bummed if I spent $118 on them and couldn't wear them next summer, you know?

If you girls want, I can take a picture of the BR ones on me tonight?

They are pretty high - I'd say at least 3 inches. They don't come in half sizes. I'm normally a 7.5 in BR shoes, so I went w/the 7 - the 8 was just too big and there was too much extra room in front by the toes. They seem pretty comfy, but I obviously haven't worn them anywhere other than my house.

Let me know if you want a picture tonight.

NCshopper · Hermes

Sure! I'd love to see a pic! I'm thinking those BR ones could be a good alternative.

my opinion (take with a grain of salt).... is that espradrilles maybe invest less $$ in, and if you want wedges, maybe invest more money in a leather pair. i have last year's version of those Michael Kors ones and i love them, but i "baby" them, so if it's raining or anything, i don't wear them. i wear a 5 year old pair of leather ones from kenneth cole (which, unfortunately need to be replaced this year).

here's some i found for cheaper:

$35 from VS (i might get the yellow pair).

also, if you like those michael kors ones, i know that nordstrom has free shipping right now on shoes.

shopgirl82 · Chanel

here's a pic of the michael kors ones

ETA: sorry, the pic was just too big. it was freaking me out to see that big of a pic of feet.

i don't think i could post those pics if highheels was still a member.

LOL!!!!! So true! Thanks for the pics! I think if it were raining, I'd wear some other shoes, at least until I got in the office. I'd hate to ruin them in the rain.

flknight24 · Dooney & Bourke

shopchicago - pics would be great (as long as highheels isn't lurking ). Also, I'll be interested to hear your comparison of the br and kors.

NCshopper - I think the br shoes are a nice, less expensive alternative to the Charles David ones you posted.

shopgirl82 - love the yellow!

Ewww - I thought the same thing! I will probably post the pics tonight and then take them down by tomorrow morning. You just never know what kind of creep w/a foot fetish is lurking on here!

that's why i took the pics down that i posted, they were GIANT feet pics. i had images of highheels, and Buster from the SATC episode in my head when i posted them. i had to take them down.
