Should I?

Sorry for the GIANT pictures...But I have to do these beauties justice.  Should I get them?  They're vintage...I can't stop thinking about them, but am I going crazy, or are these as cool as I think they are?

The mouth scares me!

Plus, the heel placement looks like it would be uncomforable.

I would fall flat on my ass in those heels and I think the platform placement is off.

I think they're cool, and I have shoes with heels like that, and for me, I don't find them any more uncomfortable than other shoes I have that are that high.


they appear to be very well made and unique.


yeah, the enamel lips are different, but if you love them and they're haunting you (key!) go for it! just imagine what a conversation starter these would be...


other plusses are:


1. it makes it easy for people to kiss your feet


2. if you kick your boss in the ass, it would be the same as kissing your boss' ass, right?

Thought I'd add a little more info:


The shoes are vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Couture.  Yup, those are enamel lips.  The heel is a little over 4".  I would wear them with jeans, my beautiful white Wendy Hil dress, a jean skirt...the list goes on...    These shoes show little to no wear.


Does anyone have experience with the fit/comfort of YSL shoes?  These are a 38, and I wear a 7 1/2.  37 in Marc Jacobs is too tight for me, so I'm guessing I'm probably a 38.

ok, I suspected they were high-end designer - they look it.


YSL for me is always small... I typically wear a 9, and a 40 is too narrow, but the length is good.  if you have feet on the narrow side, a 38 should work...


even though a lot of people may find these unconventional (they are, and that's what's great about them) go with what floats your boat - and these obiously do... I say go for it.

I'm the same size shoe and I took a 38 in YSL. It was a more recent style (2005) though.

I think they're cool.  You should get them, especially since you really seem to love them.

My only hesitation is that in the past when I've ordered vintage stuff on eBay sometimes it smells horribly of smoke.

Can you ask about that?

Personally, I'm not a fan. *but* if you can't stop thinking about them, get them! I've made that mistake way too many times - not deciding to get something until it's too late

I think they are gorgeous and the lips are fun!  If you can walk in them, then go for it!

I think they're quite interesting, and you say the heel's a little over 4"? I'd DEF fall flat on my face. LOL Love the color.
