Slingback Pumps

5_Inch_Pumps · 4th May 2002, 17:34

I've been looking for some black slingbacks for a while now. Nothing too trendy, just like regular pumps but in a slingback in a size 12 and at least 4". There are a few places I've been on the web, but they're way too expensive (around $200 US) Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

i don't know of any right off and have not been able to fine any that are reasonable in price. i could use a pair of sling back pumps in black patent, with preferably 5" heels.

when you find some, let us know.

Have you both checked eBay?

yes, i usually look in ebay a couple of times a week. unless i'm looking in the wrong area, which could be. i usually ask for anything new and cruise through both my size and my s/o's size. may just find something we don't have.

I haven't seen too many pairs of slingbacks on Ebay, at least not in my size. any suggestions anyone?

The model called ELEGANCE at http://www.veronicas.com/ is a very nice black classic slingback, available up to size 44 euro, for 78$...

Hi Alfheel and welcome.
Nice to have somebody from Paris to talk to.

Thank you for the link to Veronicas shoes. They have some nice styles on their site. I like the slingbacks you pointed out, but particularly like the black Classic pump.

I bought a nice pair of Dune slingbacks last year in a sale reduced from £45 to £10 which fit me perfectly (UK size 8 or 9 EURO 42) Sadly this is the largest size they go up to.

Thanx Calv for the welcome ! Happy to have found this place too !

I forgot to mention another a very nice site on which to find slingbacks : www.ernest.fr. It's the site of one of my favorite shoe store in Paris, although prices are a bit high, but that comes with quality... On a trip to Paris, it's worth going in there, even only to take a look at their great collection.
