I'd really like to invest in some classic pieces that will last me for years to come, and I'm thinking of starting with a pair of simple, black pumps. Here are the candidates:
I personally want the Louboutin's merely because of the red sole. But now so many people are ripping of the red sole part I would maybe go for which feels the best on.
The Louboutins look unbalances to me- like the front is a lot "heavier" than the back, and something is bothering me about the heel on the Choos..i think the way the hells flares out at the bottom is making me think they look cheap?
I love the Choos. I am biased, because I find they are the most comfortable of the three for my feet - I have a few pairs of them and they are insanely comfortable even after a day at the office.
My feet + Louboutin = heaven. Manolos are too narrow for me...Choos are too narrow too.
You really can't go wrong with any of these choices, though I think the Manolos are slightly better designed than the other two. I think it is really a matter of how the shoe fits you so I think you should spend a day at Barney's and try them all on to see how they fit your feet.
I have basic 3.5" Jimmy Choo pumps, and basic 3" Manolos (I think those are the heights-- at any rate, the Choos are taller but not by that much). The Manolos are so much more comfortable so they win out for me.
