Pointed gold velvet flats

I'm in love with these shoes but they're sold out in my size (phew, they're very expensive). I was hoping someone here might have seen a dupe? I love that they're flat and pointy and love the colour, not fussed about sequins.

These?

Or do you want one with the little strap?

Thanks for replies, giving me hope that the right style may be out there.

Not fussed about a strap really. The Moschino ones are a good shape but the colour and logo don't work for me, the Amazon ones are a better colour (the tan) but aren't quite right - too high cut maybe? I think the toe needs to be more low cut - and I don't like the silver buckle.

I see the Moschino shoes only go up to size 40?!? Should have said I'm at best a 7.5 and probably an 8/42.

In past years Boden has often had something like this but not this year. I may go over to eBay, see if someone is rehoming their old pointy Boden flats.

Thanks again Smile

They go up to a 42 (though their size chart converts that to a UK 9, which I would agree with - I'm size 8 and usually find that that's converted to an EU 41).

Ah you've read my mind, I was just sitting here wondering why French Sole say that a 42 is a 9 and a US 11 or 11.5. I've always been in between a 7.5 and 8, US 9.5 and 10 and EU 41 and 42.

Thanks for link, will have a look. At first glance they look pretty close to spot on!

OP, I love French Sole and have had at least 12 pairs of ballerina styles over about 10 years....but I never buy full price. I buy them new or almost new on eBay. I think people buy them and then discover they don't fit. I never pay more than about thirty or forty quid and often less :)

tiktok I love using eBay for this purpose, when you find a brand that works for you. I have some FS on my watchlist, hope I'm not competing with you Smile
