From all information on a thread the other day and personal info the original isn't put together very well either, but if your heart's set on them can you ask on the official website if anywhere stocks this size?

Be careful of the copies my friend got con'd on a website for Louboutin shoes and they were hideous, nothing like the photograph on the website. Luckily she paid on her credit card and got her money back.

Good luck on your search though hun xxxx

My H2B is the cobbler and he wouldn't give a tenner for a pair! You could always get a sticky sole put on when new so that the proper sole isn't severly damaged?

Everyone on that thread who's criticised them does not actually own a pair; enough said. Those of us who own them rate them highly for durability, wearability/versatility, and comfort. I have 3 pairs of Choos, 1 of which is 10 years old, and 4 pairs of Ginas, and love them; they have been WELL worth the money, they are super-comfy, they are beautiful, and they are classic; even my 10 year old pair haven't dated at all.

The soles are soft leather, as with any high-end designer shoe. So if you plan to go hiking in them, they're not for you. If you are buying them as an evening shoes, to wear mainly indoors, they are fine. Mine have been worn around the streets of Cuba and Mexico, as well as out in the rain and dirt in my home town. No, the soles are not pristine (common sense tells you they won't be; soft, pale leather is obviously going to get grubby!), however they are not ripped, damaged, or torn, and they serve their purpose. After a couple of wears, the soft leather basically gets tougher/smoother/harder, and can withstand outdoor wear much better.

Now, where to buy them: phone around first of all, as Jimmy Choo don't have access to the stock at department stores; so, they might not have a pair online, but Selfridges or Harvey Nics might have a pair. Also phone round their stores, as their online store is different and has different stock. I would strongly recommend trying a pair, even if it's in a similar style, as designer shoes can come up different sizes; in JC I take a 5.5-6, in Gina, a 6-6.5, they can come up smaller and narrower than high street makes. Staff will be able to advise if they're a 'classic' style, that they're likely to get back in syock; if not they should be able to call you if a pair comes in, and keep checking their website (I nabbed a pair I was after after they came back in stock for a couple of hours). Please do NOT buy from a fakes website; not only do you have no idea what you are getting, but these companies are known for card cloning and fraud, so buying is very risky. Only ever buy from reputable companies like department stores.

Definitely call them, and also try JC direct; you can also sign up to a 'waiting list' on the website and they'll tell you if they come back in stock. Also check out the bay every so often as you never know :-)

just gone on their waiting list

id want new, cant have someone else wear my bridal shoes before me lol

Browns have in the past had a great selection of designer wedding shoes on their website (including the sale section). I used to drool over them when I was still planning to have bridal heels.

I looked after I spoke, sorry. I do love their website, though.

I'll have a wee look in shops up here, if you like?

ooooo yes please sundae. i love them so much

SS: I just looked and can't find any in the US :-( Only tried the big stores that def ship to the UK though.

It's so annoying when you get your heart set on something and struggle to get it, it makes you want it even more! (well it does me anyway lol)
