sale MB shoes

mummybroccoli · 14/05/2009 09:17

OK, what about these ones?

www.rainbowclub.co.uk/collection.htm?brand=Rainbow%20Couture&productID=156&Accessories=0& search=1&type=2&size=1&heel=6&price=1

They are the same make as my wedding shoes which were/ are very comfy. Any good wedding shop worth their weight can dye them for you whatever shade you like because the material is something special that allows them to do it without them going patchy. Also most wedding shops stock them or can order them for you and you can also pay them off in installments, which is fab!!!

Have you had a look at Faith? I'm sure I've seen that kind of style there.

these are nice

and these

you can choose colour, the turquoise is nice but not exactly what you wanted

CountessDracula · 14/05/2009 11:20

call them and see if they can do you a pair

Greensneeze · 14/05/2009 11:26

free dying on these...

TsarChasm · 14/05/2009 11:33

Might be easier to find a pair in a colour and style you like and buy shoe clips to customise them as you like.

For example

wilbur · 14/05/2009 11:36

What about these? They are navy but gorgeous (I think they come in cream too) and LK Bennett shoes have a v Manolo feel to them, same delicacy. Hobbs also have an aqua fake snakeskin heel, v similar shape to the manolos, but with an ankle strap and you would have to buy a diamante brooch to put on them. Would looks cool, though. And yes, the shoes you love are gorgeous - shoe love is the best and most uncomplicated kind....

Greensneeze · 14/05/2009 11:36

or you could sew some diamantes on these

TsarChasm · 14/05/2009 11:41

This site is American but they have some gorgeous clips.

Greensneeze · 14/05/2009 12:04

these with shoeclips from here?

Where are you?

Christian Louboutin have loads of stores in the UK.

check here.

BTW, if you're trying to keep costs down, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin are not labels you should look at...

Would you buy from here? I want to to but I'm wary of spending so much on a pair I havent tried on but I have been absolutly everywhere and I can't find any I like as much as these.

No.

That's not the genuine CL website...

PolkSaladLucie · 29/05/2009 16:03

If you're going to buy online the only place verified by CL is net-a-porter

Julezboo · 29/05/2009 16:16

similar and dyeable?

jrsqueak · 29/05/2009 16:38

What about these - I got my wedding shoes from them. Cheap but nice. Very similar colour to your link.

PolkSaladLucie · 29/05/2009 17:08

I wore Benjamin Adams shoes for my wedding - and they are now lime green and I wear them all the time! They're very comfy, but so are my CL's...

Are you used to wearing heels? Could you last all day in a pair of 8 inches?

Looks like it is back to the drawing board then, I can't afford them, at the absolute maximum £150 is the most I am going to spend on shoes and they would have to be a pair of amazing shoes for that plus I'm not used to heels and so they can't be too high.

PolkSaladLucie · 29/05/2009 19:50

My Benjamin Adams were about £120.

Try those ones Julezboo linked too. They are wearable and are very like the style you linked too.

Is the blue to watch bm's dresses? Or your dress? If so, you can take the fabric in to dance shops and bridal stores and they will match the colour for you... Or there are sites that let you try them and then send them back to be dyed. They do a couple of styles with the diamonte clasp detail.

The ones linked don't come in a size 6.5 and are more than I can afford to spend.

I'd buy these if they would fit and if they don't I can take themt o a shop rather than sending them back in the post if I'm going to get them dyed I know a dance shop that will do them but she said if there is so much a finger print on them then the dye won't take and will look awful so I'm trying to avoid dying them.
