Are you US7 like me and looking for a pair but don’t know how it fits? I can help you figure out fit of different styles using my collection/experience. Do you have a pair without the box and wonder what the stylename is? I might be able to help you ID your pair

Hahaha... I saw your google comment. I tried replying to it (I was blocked) I tought the exact same thing!
tiffcake
@ctryon so frustrating. Really sad fakes.
In other news, I scored the new taiga holographic follies already. They weren’t at the top of my list from current collection but I found them for $450 so I didn’t wait. Gotta love eBay for skipping out of tax on these luxury items! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a pair from a current collection though for such a discount. Lucky gal I guess.
ctryon
@tiffcake Those shoes weren’t a good replica at all and the seller.... She seems pleasant! Wow, congratulations on the find! I know what you mean when you find a good deal, need to grab them. Which ones are next?! 😆
tiffcake
@ctryon I don’t know... someone just listed nice condition maleva in 37 for $500 that I think I will get if I can purchase for maybe $435 to replace my 38’s and then I hope to get $325-350 for mine. They’re faded and I had to fix the previous owner’s attempt getting them resoled—they were laterally unstable and someone was going to twist an ankle in them if I sold them like that ☹️
tiffcake
@ctryon hope you had nice holidays!! Do you love your new iriza?
ctryon
@tiffcake You are always searching! 😄. Are they on here?
ctryon
@tiffcake The Irizas are beautiful and still in their box in my closet! I have yet to wear them. I finally saw the Charbon Irizas on Tradesy the other day-wrong size, but maybe that means it is time for that style/color to come around. Very similar in color to my Corneilles though
ctryon
That girl re-listed those black shoes/sandals from last night
tiffcake
@ctryon yeah... she’s a punk. What goes around will come around.
tiffcake
@ctryon wow. Just so many today.
briannefield
Okay I have a fit question: if I am an almost perfect 39 in apostrophe then would a 39.5 in the slingback version be too big or you think I could pull it off?
tiffcake
@briannefield when you say almost perfect, is it fitting tight or loose? In general I can make a shoe work that is much too small more successfully than too large. With CL, my heels slip more than any other designer so I know purchase them VERY snug. If your apostrophy is fitting right then half size up in slingback version is doable. If it was fitting big, then it is really risky.
tiffcake
@briannefield I’ve given up on slingbacks all together bc they always slide for me. My heel anatomy isn’t cooperative at all 🤣Slingbacks are extra challenging if they don’t fit well. You’re limited to using toebox inserts or having a cobbler shorten the straps.
briannefield
@tiffcake thank you that’s helpful! The patent 39s I have are perfect. The kid 39s are not too big but have a little room to wiggle my toes. Because the pair I’m looking at are also kid I’m worried they would be big. The sling does have some leniency, and I could always put a ball-of-foot cushion in, but I would rather not...
tiffcake
@briannefield also, is your apostrophy straight from retail? If so then you have a better idea how it fits and how it breaks in. Almost all of mine are resale which makes things more challenging bc if someone tried stretching them before me, I may not realize the pair doesn’t fit like they normally do (or the pair I’m getting might be stretched and fit larger than I’m expecting)
I’ll tag you on a listing of the fit products I ise
briannefield
@tiffcake thank you. Mine are both resale. I am crushing on the slingback apostrophe so hard these days. I would love a black pair, especially in patent! But nude are gorgeous too. My heels are also narrow but at least they stay in the Louboutins!
tiffcake
@briannefield sorry for all the typos—I’m typing quickly and I’m an idiot with autocorrect.
I’m scared they might be loose on you BUT just pay a price you’re comfortable paying if you can’t make them work and have to resell.
I don’t have apostrophy but I have Zappa and I could definitely take it half size down. I really love the cutaway styles. I totally understand wanted to get every version of it!
tiffcake
@briannefield I wish we were same size too!! You have some really nice pairs!
briannefield
@tiffcake I wish you could see my whole collection! I’m a traditionalist mostly because I try to wear a pair of these at least once a day and my husband gives me hell for my collection. Haha. Maybe I’ll post some photos soon. Thanks again for your help!
tiffcake
@briannefield if you ever post it, tag me for sure!! I love seeing what everyone has. Then I know exactly whom to ask whenever I have a fit question about a style I don’t yet own. Plus I just like admiring everyone’s collections!!
ctryon
@tiffcake - Yup, those sparkly ones that I tagged you in are the worst. Her whole closet appears to be shoes. I wonder how many more are counterfeit
earlnsyd
We have the same Bibi pair! 🙌🏻
tiffcake
@earlnsyd that’s awesome!!!! They’re one of my favorites. I think the ostrich looks like dinosaur skin. You must be my sister from another mister! 🤣
earlnsyd
@tiffcake Those were my thoughts exactly when I got them! Great minds think alike!
nikki_lynn03
Love your closet 😍
tiffcake
@nikki_lynn03 yours also!! I’m eyeing your suede Zappa 😘😘
nikki_lynn03
@tiffcake thank you I’m about to post more just got engaged so I have a wedding to pay for 🤣🤣🤣
tiffcake
@nikki_lynn03 oooooh congratulations!!! I have a huge list of pairs I’m seeking somit will be exciting if you have one of them!
nikki_lynn03
@tiffcake thank you ok ok I’ll look at your list 😘
tiffcake
@nikki_lynn03 if you have a metal Nodo (Pigalle not slingback) or circus city in gold or black I’d be super excited. Those aren’t in my pic list—I need to update ir
nikki_lynn03
@tiffcake I love the metal nodo !! I don’t though let me see if I have any of your other ones I have 17 pairs 🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️ I’m a degenerate shopper
tiffcake
@briannefield that studded lace pair you tagged me in? I don’t have ANY experience in that style of shoe. I’ve seen that lacy in a NVP style though. I really like the color. It’s like the PERFECT shade of rose gold and it’s the perfect amount of shine
briannefield
@tiffcake oh man, I’m doing some damage this month. Bought a triloubi bag in reddish orange, Gozul strass flats in gunmetal gray, if I buy these, I’m on a serious streak!
tiffcake
@briannefield the strass flats sounds amazing! I once saw a custom volcano pair where someone added a dainty little leather bow—really thin and delicate and it had CRYSTAL SKULL beads on the ends!!!! Swarovski skulls that shined so many amazing colors!! I didn’t buy them and I have always regretted it. I keep trying to find archived images of them to get them custom made
briannefield
@tiffcake oh my! That sounds amazing! Yes you only live once but I have spent over $2,000 in two months already! I’m dying inside! 😱 I need to stop or sell more shoes. It’s part of the reasons I have the cross me and Ballalla flats for sale!
briannefield
@tiffcake okay I googled the volcano strass.... I must have a pair before I get too much older! Lol
briannefield
@tiffcake OMG I just scored those green cobra degrade Filos for $300!!!!!!!!!!!
tiffcake
@briannefield I hope you like filo too! They’re an all day shoe for me. I have short toes so I like filo better than new simple (plus I like the look of the Uber slim stiletto better). I’m envious you got the green ones—how fitting hahaha... envy of green instead of green with envy?
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire whoa!!! How come you’re selling your zermadame? They’re such a lovely color—can’t believe you’re parting with them! Wish they were my size
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake It’s tough, but I’m downsizing my collection and I have two pairs of Zermadames, gray and burgundy. The gray pair is really tight around the instep on my left foot and just won’t seem to loosen up. Sad, but I’m sure someone else will love them too!
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire my Lina is like that—it’s like my arch is too high or something but if anything, my arches have fallen a bit as I’ve aged 🤷♀️ I wear them with knee highs and it helps a lot—not like they’re compression or anything but they just ensure that they don’t “stick” if that makes any sense (makes them less uncomfortable)
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake yeah, nylons help and I totally get about the sticking! I have a bony bit on the top of my left foot that’s way more prominent than on the right. The extra half size on my burgundy paid seems to make all the difference!
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake Also I’m SUPER JEALOUS of your Miss Taos! On my grail list!
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire I got Miss Taos from fashionvictim!! She knew they were on my list and I got first notice when she got them in 37.5 and I jumped. They’re my most expensive pair at the moment (unless I ever get metal Nodo)
I just got a charcoal grey/red Anemone in 100mm from her too!! They should arrive this week I think 😍
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake I know you’ve had spikes replaced before, would you mind telling me about how much they cost? I got a pair of Bamboot (so much for downsizing lol!) and they showed up with three missing. Not a dealbreaker but def want to press for a bit of a refund as it wasn’t disclosed.
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire I still haven’t had them replaced yet (I don’t want to pay the expensive shipping there and back when Pasquale’s is in my boyfriend’s sales territory and we can just take them but I haven’t been proactive about making sure they’re ready when he leaves and haven’t had a chance to join him on a trip. BUT I can tell you it costs about $20 for a pair of spikes just to get them in your hands to be replaced (if you don’t have spares)
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire there’s an online quote form for leather spa in NYC maybe you can use to get an estimate. Or maybe you can call someone in your area or visit in person to get a quote. My local guy won’t do them bc he doesn’t have the tool to fasten them onto post without flattening the point so he would just glue it on which won’t hold and can tear the leather later.
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire also, if the post is gone it’s a REALLY expensive repair bc they have to take the shoe apart to put in a new post so they can attach the spike stud to it.
I think it’s safe to say it would cost you at least $50 to repair tbem
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire do you need some itty bitty spikes back? I can’t tell what size bamboot needs
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake Hahaha! I'd actually forgotten that I sent you those spikes! I never thought I'd own anything with spikes as they're really not very 'me' but when you fall for a pair...
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake Unfortunately, on two of them the posts are gone. I really don't think they can be replaced as the heels are embroidered silk which just the thought of taking that apart makes me queasy. One still has the post so that could be done I guess. I think the best thing to do is just love them as they are.
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake The RealReal gave me a $30 credit which in conjunction with the (no joke!) 90% of retail on these I accepted and I'm ready to move on. Next time I'm near a boutique I'll ask if they have a spare or two they could give me.
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire seriously, do you need some of the tiny spikes? You were so generous to let me have them I couldn’t possibly keep them if you need them!! I don’t mind at all 😘
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake If you really, positively, pinky swear promise you won’t miss them? I’ll be happy to take some back. I can’t remember how many I sent, but if you could spare three that would be super!
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire how about four?
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire I’ll send you a PM to confirm address
cadillacclaire
Three is all I need, but four would be nice for a spare. Thanks again!
tiffcake
@jnassar hey there! That pay you tagged? I’m not sure exactly how old a pair has to be to be considered vintage but Bruges is definitely an older style that hasn’t been available for a hot minute. I’m not sure why the seller said they’re from last year’s collection—that’s definitely not correct and they’re old enough to have the old veto cuoio stamp. I’ll check my book to see if I can figure out the year range for uou
tiffcake
Pay= pair... veto= vero (I didn’t catch my typos before posting—sorry about that)
jnassar
@tiffcake thank you so much I knew for sure that they are not new. They look legit but I have a pair of these in leather not suede and everything matches up but the red bottom is much darker than these.
tiffcake
@jnassar I agree—I also think they’re authentic BUT I’m not particularly familiar with Bruges myself. I don’t see any red flags—let’s put it that way :)
jnassar
@tiffcake thank you I appreciate it 😊
myerhampton17
Hi! Just wanted you to know I’m sending out your Pigalle Plato Loubs tomorrow for you!! Hope you LOVE THEM!!
tiffcake
@myerhampton17 I hope so too—I’m nervous on the sizing bc I have that Plato in grey/black/yellow 37 fitting perfectly but also in grey/white/pink 37&37.5... in that one the 37 is snug and I’m keeping the 37.5. Fingers crossed your color version fits like that pair and not the other one 🤣
myerhampton17
@tiffcake haha Aww i bet they will be perfect! Fingers crossed! When you will see the color your will smile from ear to ear! It is truly fabulous!!!
cadillacclaire
How do you find your Bibi's fit? I've found a pair for a great price, but worried they might be too small. Did you size up or down from your usual size?
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire mine fit like Bianca. Bianca isn’t an easy fitting pair for me so I don’t want to give you bad advice. My heels always slip in them even if the toes are cramped so I guess best solution (for me) is 37 with a heel grip or a well broken-in 36.5 (my bibi is ostrich and my Biancas are python... foraine might be Bianca and those fit me odd also
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire I can definitely say I would NOT size up personally (in my experience of just one bibi pair so I wouldn’t put too much weight on it haha)
cadillacclaire
@tiffcake Ha! I don’t have any Bianca’s so that doesn’t help much. I’m going to take a gamble on a 38.5 as I’ve found them stupid cheap and the ostrich skin is just too amazing. I know that in my head I’ll be stomping around the office playing t-Rex all day.
tiffcake
@cadillacclaire I could squeeze into a 36.5 if I had to. It wouldn’t slip off my heel anymore but I think they’re narrow
mollylasiter
Just saw a pair of “very galaxy” & for some reason was thinking that might have been a pair you were ISO? I feel like I’ve never seen them before
tiffcake
@mollylasiter it’s easy—is it a heel? Does it fit size 7? Chances are I want it 😝 I’m on shoe hiatus trying to save up for a pair of metal Nodo. I got an unfortunate tax bill this year which has necessitated a spending freeze ☹️
mollylasiter
@tiffcake I feel you on the taxes. People who brag about getting money back I just don’t even know how??? Lol we buy, renovate & sell houses so tax season is a terrible time around here. 😩 The Very Galaxy is size 38, on ebáÿ for $350 and they are actually beauties. Look like a pink/red mirror heel. And peep-toe. ✨👠 looks like a super comfortable heel 🤷🏼♀️
tiffcake
@mollylasiter the silver version is available pretty frequently but I think the pink is more rare. I’d I recall correctly I’ve only seen pink once or twice. I think they’re old VP which is DEFINITELY comfortable. I’ll add them to my watch list!! With the millions of others hahaha
mollylasiter
@tiffcake again, same 😂😜😁 do you have any of the very croise? Wondering about the fit/comfort level on them. I think I truly love the more vintage styles more than I do current ones 😳
tiffcake
@mollylasiter I hate the newest version of pigalles and the Platos are even worse! I don’t have any very crois—I don’t have that many vintage actually
315jolicand
Hey girl!
tiffcake
@315jolicand what’s shakin?! 🤣
315jolicand
@tiffcake not much. Headed to your city next week. Other then that same ol and u?
tiffcake
@315jolicand where are you staying? It’s a good time to visit. It’s really nice here this time of year
315jolicand
@tiffcake on the step girl where else 🤗
Yeah that’s why we are coming now to enjoy the weather and of course our time there. Any new shoes lately?
tiffcake
@315jolicand I have been very good and I think I only got two pairs. I bought solar panels for the house so I don’t have the budget for more shoes right now :( one pairs was a neon Pigalle Plato I’ve been stalking and the other was anemone in a rarer colorway. What have you hauled?
315jolicand
@tiffcake what haven’t I. I haven’t really purchased any loubies recently though. My new addiction is Chanel espadrilles. Have them in several colors and Valentino jellies and Hermès slides. Shoes shoes shoes! I currently am trying to sell I lady peep patent pair but haven’t gotten any hits. Lmk if u know someone that could use a pair.
And solar panels nice. Hard to balance between want and needs 😂
gracie_kay1977
I was wondering if you had any info on the violet Jem Velours pump? I got them and am curious about them and what year they came out in the collection. I have other pairs of Christians that I would love to know the name of and any info that I could get...
tiffcake
@315jolicand I’m surprised there’s no bites—are they black? I feel like black patent sells easily. That’s a sexy shoe in a lady peep... I feel like guys always want that shoe for their girlfriends/wives haha
tiffcake
@gracie_kay1977 I don’t personally know anything about Jen but I can tell you that I’ve seen posts about it back at least as far as May 2013. I’ll keep digging
tiffcake
I’ve found posts as old as January 2011 now. Maybe checking the archives at shoerazzi could help narrow down the collection?
gracie_kay1977
@tiffcake thank you. I’m going through my collection now picking the styles I need to sell. I have a lot more I’m going to list this week. Im moving soon and have to liquidate and make some money to help with the move. Thanks again and keep an eye on my closet in case there is a pair you have to have! 😉
tiffcake
@nacole24 hey there! Did you buy that leopard pair of very prive? I can’t tell 100% by the seller’s photos but there are many red flags. If you bought them, you can photo in specific positions when you receive them & then we can tell better whether my suspicion is true. You’ll be able to open a case with posh. And get your money back. If they’re replicas, maybe seller doesn’t even know
nacole24
@tiffcake thanks! I did buy them, right before I saw your comment as luck would have it. I appreciate your help; I’ll definitely be following up with you when they arrive. Are there any telltale signs I should look for immediately. They’re a 39, so there’s no 1/2 sign to look for. The stamp looked a little faded, but nothing stood out to me.
tiffcake
@nacole24 it’s the construction and the silhouette that is offputting to me. CL is usually super low cut (lots of toe cleavage) but the peeps are usually very small giving just a glimpse of the toes from the bottom up. It seems that the toebox is higher up than it ought to be & way more peep. The finishing of the upper looks a little sloppy on the interior. The outsole and stamp don’t look right. It will be good to get the pics at the right angles to check
tiffcake
@nacole24 I have lots of Very Prive pairs so we have lots of references. The pony hair leopard pairs with which I’m familiar have a more natural pattern whereas those have a more painted or cartoon leopard appearance. I don’t have that specific pair so we might need to ask a super seller. But regardless of that particular leopard, the construction and silhouette should STILL be correct for Very Prive and that we can figure out once you have them in your hands 😘 don’t worry.
tiffcake
@nacole24 You’ll be ok if they’re fake and if they’re not you got a good deal :)
precisely_silee
Hey hun can I have your email address?
mde27
Hi I love your page I see you are on vacation but when you come back please check out my closet I might have some pairs you’re interested in💞
tiffcake
@spicyredhead I reported all the ones on which you tagged me— but most were already gone. There’s a fake anemone being offered by ewiegel1 if you could please report discreetly. I have anemone & it’s cut like an old Pigalle (extremely low on the sides, low in front, & super narrow) & has an extremely voluminous, 3D bow (not a flat, stacked ribbon w/ giant loop)
tiffcake
(She’s mixing pics on some possibly authentic pairs with her fake pair—the authentic 120 is very distinctive but 100’s don’t have the same elegant curves & deep cuts so they are a little more subtle—bc she’s mixing pics I’m not even entirely sure if she’s selling 100/120 but the flat limp heavy bow & klunky silhouette is still a dead giveaway—its a rare authentic style & market is saturated w/ fake versions so I think some ppl might be unaware making it a risky one)
tiffcake
@spicyredhead77 hey that pair of fake Pigalle you asked seller psquirefl to post soles... First two pics aren’t the same pair of shoes as the last pic. I’m sure she’ll take down/post pics and/or rearrange them to make my comment not applicable so I’m not commenting on her listing. Shady McShadington doing shady things there! 🤣
tiffcake
@spicyredhead77 actually she posted two completely different outsole pics also 🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg she’s dumb
tiffcake
@hkuper that white pair you tagged me—it’s a fake so kate/Pigalle hybrid but she has a stolen pic of an authentic batignole thrown in (the stolen pic is the one showing the outsole with the vibram half sole with the different background—the stiletto gives it away it’s not even the same shoe style). You have good eyes!
hkuper
@tiffcake super fake! the toe point of the shoe was the first thing I noticed 😆

Do you happen to know how louboutin ballet flats fit? I have my eye on a pair of mesh ones with spiked suede toe caps. I am a US 7.5 but the pair I have found is a 7. Thank you!
