Post pics of HIGH-END DESIGNER SHOES...(pics)

We are getting the white Arenas in hightop, not low top. Actually, every Arena we are getting for spring is the high.

When are Spring/Summer Arena colorways going to be rolled out in stores?

Ihave the same problem with mine. I sold my red pair cause even with insoles they were too big.
My other ones smashed my toes with insoles. My daughter cut the insoles at the toes and now the fit perfect. So the balls on my are sitting insole and my toes dangle on the shoe insole. Really comfortable now.

When that happens, I usually replace the insole with some thinner ones from Target/Walmart that cost .99 cents, makes a ton of different w/o sacrificing the comfort of the shoe. It also helps when you have a high instep like I do, giving an extra mm (or two) really makes shoes that doesn't have much give wearable.

Or just wear thicker socks, which is what I plan to do with the Arenas. For the most part, I just prefer sizing up by half a size than going down, just much more comfortable in the end.

I appreciate the kind words. Just trying to help you guys out. I'll post up pics that I have of the rest of the spring buy that I currently have this evening.

Thanks to you mate!

Are you already received the blue pleated Bale sneakers?

I have seen your avatar....and I'm a great Louboutin's fan....do you have other pics of the Louboutin upcoming collection?

Thanks

We have already started receiving spring shoes. So far only a couple Lanvin low -tops with the patent toe. We get shipment once a week and I know on Fridays what we are getting the following week. As soon as I see any sneakers coming in I'll let you guys know. I will also post up pics of the entire spring 2013 buy tonight for Louboutin, Balenciaga and Lanvin when I get home tonight.

Also, there have been a ton of questions about when the Louboutin shoes are being released. CL never releases that info, which is why the demand is so high. When we get them in we know with very little notice to none at all and I mean maybe 2 days if anything. The same is for the CL boutiques that I talk too. This is why it is challenging to get a pair for retail and not a crazy over inflated price. We compile a first come first serve list prior to the shoes arriving and sell them that way and rarely do they make it to the sales floor. Anyhow, I will post up pics later for all of you!

Just like RFX, my Arena's came in today....

These are a 43 (10) & I still have room. I have never owned a shoe like this where the sizing is so difficult....

I'm a true 11.5-12.

Can't wait to see ACTUAL pictures of the new Arena High & Lows though.

I might purchase the Red Pleated High or Lows if these new Arena High or Lows aren't looking legit.

RFX, signed up for PQ. Never heard of that website. Do they generally have nice HE clothes/shoes available?

Also, after talking with 100, these recent pairs from Barney's are "NOIR" while the previous versions were "EXTRANOIR" which means it may have a different cut. The "NOIR's" are a lighter Black as well.

I live in Houston & I'm not sure how to return the 43 to Barney's.

Just mail it back in the same box it came in or return it to the store if there is one near you.
So 43 turned out to be too big, like a whole size too big? Mines only about half a size too big and it is definitely wearable.

Sadly, I don't think Balenciaga makes half sizes so you are stuck with wearing it a bit tight or a bit loose if you're right in the middle like me.



I actually got the link to PQ from Upscalehype and with them offering other Givenchy stuff, I'd assume they will offer more in the future. Those are new season items too so it isn't like a full-priced version of Gilt where it is old stock.

This is what I do - wear Elite socks with my Arenas since I'm in the middle - they fit tight but not too tight

Actually like the fit of the pleated highs much better - those all blue ones will be had

Wings&Horn has a lot of online vendors, a lot from Canada because that is where the brand is based. Roden Gray is a good place to start. Park&Bond also carries W&H. Here's a list of their stickists: http://www.wingsandhorns.com/stockists/

BCBP,

I did exactly that, put on some USA Red/White Elites & they fit much better.

I initially tried them on with thin church socks. Although, I would like to size down a 1/2 size, I don't feel like going through the hassle of returning & hunting down a 9, which in the end might be super tight.

So, I'm sticking with these...Next up, some either Red Arenas High-Lows or Pleated Highs.

Nice, look good. Sounds like we are the same size and I tried on the next size down and theyre way too tight, especially in the toe box. I def don't recommend thin socks if youre doing a lot of walking; not much padding around the heels. It's a funny shoe but look good on foot.

 

[nicholashart]

Ok here we go!  As promised here is the Spring 2013 buy for Barneys for Balenciaga, Louboutin and Lanvin.  I will start with Balenciaga.  All of the Arenas will be hightops and everyone has seen the black, so here are the rest.  For the rest I will designate below each photo if it will be low or high.  Enjoy!

[higuy]

wow thanks for taking the time to post all of that. gonna wait patiently for the white arena highs. those rollerboats are lookin good too...

 

[rfx45]

Thanks for all the pics, appreciate you sharing it. If possible, definitely keep us updated on what you get at Barneys and I am sure you will get a few customers here too.

You also mind giving us a lowdown on which sneakers will be part of the sale from your store tomorrow? I know it is just FW12 but any Balenciaga, Balmain, Margiela, Ann D., Lanvin, etc... that maybe on sale might of interest to some here.


Thanks again!
