    Hi guys!

    lk-bennett-main.jpg

    I found these shoes the other day, tried em on and fell head over heels in love..... But there €179 WAY too expensive. But I really want a similar pair. Anybody seen anything similar, I've tried eBay but nothing

    Considering nude is so 'in' I thought it would be a doddle!

    I adore the black ones too

    I can't wait til Summer sales.....


    Help?

    I'm sorry bby I really don't like them :(. The black one's are slightly better though, but still ugly. They just look like old lady shoes :( x x x


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭Rayne


    Fair enough, but I promise they look better on. Heel is higher.... and they just do :P

    Ya know when you've your heart set on something.....

    Lady Luck that was uncalled for. The OP did not ask for your or anyones opinion on the shoes, she simply asked if anyone had seen a similar style shoe for cheaper.

    If you dont have anything helpful to say please dont just post to slander someone else's taste.



    OP Those shoes are lovely, patent seems to be back in atm so hopefully you will find something similar, maybe try faith or barrats for a cheaper alternative. GL :)

    If an old lady can wear heels that high fair play to her!

    Love the shoes OP, I saw a similar enough pair in Faith recently, they were black but they may have nude too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭tbaymusicman


    my girlfriend just seen this and said go to next she got a pair like them last week :)

    Excuse me, but she didnt ask for YOUR opinion either. But I gave mine to be helpful. I thought she'd want to know her shoes look dreadful before leaving the house. Would you prefer if I lied and told her they were beautiful, when I really think they're ugly shoes?? x x


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 thescruff


    i'll buy the 2 pairs for ya!

    Heehee I'd kill to see what you think is good taste.:rolleyes: Sometimes Lady its nice to keep your opinions to yourself when they are negative, especially as the OP clearly likes the shoes.

    Personally I think they are fab...it is all about how you wear some items and having style...guess that you don't understand that ladyluck :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 473 ✭✭sunshine rose


    They really are fab shoes!
    Was on the look out for a pair of nude shoes myself so this is perfect timing:pac:
    OP, where was it you saw the orignial shoes? not that I can afford them at the mo...but just to try on:p

    LK Bennett in BT's.... Breaks my heart that I can't have them :(

    The picture does them no justice, there higher in real life and are very elegant on and will probably go with a lot!!!

    Maybe I'll just save..... (Hate the word)

    Thank you!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭taram


    Saw these in clarks, the pictures make them look whiter than they are, but they're a little beige-r in real life if you know what I mean :)

    http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/keyword-is-driftwood

    All under 100 euro, all quite comfy too :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭jellie


    asos have something similar, but theyre not patent:
    http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Premium-Leather-Platform-Peep-Toe-Shoe/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=528053&cid=6461&Rf-200=20&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Nude

    ps. definitely not old lady shoes! unless the age of when you become an "old lady" has dropped by 50 years so!

    27_lacau_68_2.jpg


    <dribble> those are gorrrrgeous, I also love them with the turquoise heels


    With the LK Bennett shoes- keep an eye on the BT Website for sales, sometimes they have fab 20% off everything in store type things so you could get a bargain!

    lady Luck, kinda funny don't you think that nearly everyone else posting here thinks that the shoes are fab?! OP, love the shoes, esp. in nude. Sorry, but haven't seen a similar pair at a cheaper price anywhere esp. as I've been on the look out for that style and colour myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 996 ✭✭✭bnagrrl


    Am desperate for a pair of shoes like these myself.
    The ones on ASOS are gorgeous but I really want patent.
    The search goes on!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 84 ✭✭peanut66


    I recently got a pair in an almost identical style to those but they are suede not patent. I got them in Zara in Spain, Im sure they have them over here too and I think they are fab and really high. They were €59 over there. :)

    I wish they had an online shop.... No Zara in Galway.... Shopping trip in order!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 smileyhappy


    I <3 those shoes

    they're soooo sexy!!!

    Try new look. I got a pair nearly identical in there last year. So they aren't the comfiest shoes but they look fab :p

    I saw those in Zara on Henry St! They're gorgeous, I'm just worried will the suede be hard to keep clean? Have had bad experiences with suede shows in the past!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Sinall


    I know BT's have a 20% off promotion on at the moment - LK Bennett in Dublin are doing it. I don't know if you would be able to get the 20% off on top of your staff discount but if you could that would help!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 ShineadyRyan


    They're class!! I've seen them and the pic doesn't do them justice at all!! Well I know they're pretty expensive but in comparison with the nude Louboutins that are in BT's...thats only small change. Don't think I could ever justify paying 520 for a pair of shoes!!:eek::eek: eeek.
    You have your discount.........uuuuuse it. They're fab. If you don't get them...I will!:) -Just need to get paid :)

    Thanks for the encouragment BUT they sold the last 5 today.... Broke my heart! Maybe I'll save for Louboutains... Hmmmm

    Aw neo!!:eek: Maybe it was fate....I'll hold a size 5 in the Louboutins for you!:D...if only


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭Rayne


    Aww lads..... i found a very similar pair to my OP shoes.... on ebay

    €74.00 from USA, not including postage.
    I dunno whether to bite the bullet, buy from LK Bennet OR buy the cheap Louboutin lookie likes????





    *Can I post an ebay linky?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Sinall


    SapphireDiamond I was thinking about you yesterday! I got an email from LK Bennett - they are doing 25% certain shoes if you buy them online. I think you can also print it off and get the discount instore. There is a LK Bennett store in Dundrum if you happen to be in Dublin?

    If you want to PM me I would be happy to forward the email onto you!

    Would love to see what the ebay shoes look like! A friend of mine buys shoes from ebay all the time and it's worked out fine for her. I tend to be in between shoe sizes so have to try things on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭Rayne


    eBay

    There the ebay ones, I don't particularly like the red....

    Mmmmm I'll PM you x


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Sinall


    They are gorgeous! And almost identical to the LK Bennett ones. I wore a pair of River Island shoes in the office last year that had red soles and girls kept asking in hushed awed tones "Are they Louboutins??"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭Rayne


    Yeah, I guess they'd work like that! Love Louboutins, if only.....


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Sinall


    I know....I could probably afford Louboutins if I did not eat, or drink anything at all for about 3 months. I would spend all my time looking lovingly at them!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭Rayne


    So... My ebay ones just sold!!!!

    If it was one of the lovely boardies.... Well wear (sneaky things :) )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Sinall


    Oh no!!! That's awful for you! Do they have more than one pair??

    It's quite a coincidence alright.....!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Sinall


    They seem to be on ebay again - just PM'd you the link!

    no need to be bi***y about it! I think the shoes are lovely the only thing tho is i think the colour of the nude ones is a bit funny, you could prob get a nicer colour of nude colour shoes?if ya get me!! the shoes in the link below(im not saying those shoes but the colour) the lighter colour would be nicer me thinks!!

    http://www.barratts.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product1_10055_-1_83909_10553

    Hope that helps!!My friend wear a pair of nude heels that kinda colour and her legs look sooooo long when she wears them!!!:p

    Hey Girls
    I've bought two pairs of Louboutins online on www.ioffer.com and they are the exact same as the ones in BT's I go in and find out the style name and then type it into the site. Go with a seller with honest feedback they usually come from China I think.
    I got the black suede ones they are so high but I love them so many compliments I just say I had vouchers and got them in BTS!!
    I also bought a Chanel handbag real lambskin leather (like the one lauren has on the hills) it came with the box dustbag and authenthic cards. I never paid over 150 euro for any item incl postage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 996 ✭✭✭bnagrrl

    Mmmmm I'll PM you x

    Wow they're gorgeous. I'm VERY tempted.

    You've just cost me €100!
    I don't know whether to hate you or love you. lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭Rayne


    Love me, you know you want too! :)

    Will you let me know how you get on with them? What there like and what not?

    Hope to win the lotto in the next week.
    One pair for each of the ladies who have contributed to this forum for me!

    They're gorgeous, I take it they're not genuine though?!
    If they are fake what happens if they are caught by customs - are they destroyed?
    If they are real and are caught by customs do you have to pay duty on them? How much would that be?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz


    Will you let me know how you get on with them? What there like and what not?

    Ya, pretty please post up some feedback when you get them.

    They look lovely. I'd be very tempted but It'd be good to hear somebody elses feedback first!!!

    And I'm amazed to hear Louboutins are seliing like hotcakes!!!

    Are we not in a RECESSION!!!!:confused::pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭cacio


    How did I end up being the test dummy on someone else's thread! lol.
    I can't wait to get them. I've been looking for a pair for ages. Can't afford Louboutins yet (and there's another pair I want first) so these are perfect.

    I love the style and colour. Seller seems ok so hopefully I wont have problems.
    If you spot any more nice shoes around I'm only too happy to be the tester. Donations welcome! ;)
