The only thing I love more than shoes--are shoes on sale! The BagSnob tipped me off to a great sale at Neiman's Last Call over the weekend.....
I was afraid there were none to be found in my giant shoe size, but just when I was about to give up, I spied my wish shoes from Chloe Fall/08.....was I dreaming?---the leaf boot in my size at 75% off!!! Yes!!!
When these shoes first showed, Jane and I could not warm up to them. Over time, we both softened to the idea of the leaf shoes and boots. Lately they have become an obsession and we've both been stalking YOOX in hopes of finding a pair in either of our sizes. I loved this entire collection from Chloe so much...below are a few more of the shoes from Style.com.
they are lovely lovely with one big exception :( the pointy toe.also, the heel is a bit thin. i can not seem to get over these aspects. would have been absolutely gorgeous with a round toe. nevertheless, it's a fabulous purchase and i cannot wait to see you in an outfit completed by these.

I've been looking for these shoes too... they seem like a work of art!

If anyone who's looking for these shoes happens to be in NYC, I saw the booties at Century 21 a couple weeks ago for next to nothing... Happy hunting!

I saw these at my NM Last Call a couple of months ago, but couldn't get excited about them, either. But if anyone's looking, they're all over ebay as well.

oh yay we are shoe twins!! i have those in black.. they are surprisingly very comfortable! the taller heel version is impossible to walk in although it's quite beautiful..

I am being attacked by that green beast called AWESOME SHOE ENVY. I've loved those shoes from the beginning! And the grey is so gorgeous. Cannot wait to see what you pair them with.

I LOVE the leaf boots, especially the ponited toe, it was a great collection!
Posted by: Pearl Westwood | November 12, 2009 at 03:40 AM
I feel you, Judy. I'm wearing a size 9,5 - 10, and some of the best shoes (and especially the loveliest of vintage shoes) only go up to 8-ish or look ridiculous in my size.
Posted by: Stella Mayfair | November 12, 2009 at 05:05 AM
I think they are great! And I'm really liking the pointy toe...its a change from all of the rounded toes of late...variety is good. And that leafy pattern is over the top gorgeous to me...love anything organic, even high fashion stylized organic is good. :-)

Can't wait to see how you style them!

those shoes would have to grow on me, too...no pun intended. i do like the ones you chose, and the black ones are really pretty.
and....lol, that cat photo and caption! as a cat person, i know that look and pose all too well. :)

great shoes!!! love the purple ones too... :)
Posted by: PAPERFASHION | November 12, 2009 at 08:13 AM
I didn't like these much but you have almost convinced me.. In the UK they have a couple of colours at www.theoutnet.com priced around £300. I think I also saw a pair of shoes.
Can't wait to see you wearing them !
Posted by: K P | November 12, 2009 at 08:17 AM
NIce....I love the brown ones from the first photo (are those the ones you snagged?) as well as the purple pair with the fantastic heel....three shades of purple in one shoe? Done and done. Def. love.

Ow, I loved all of them and still dreaming about a pair! Congrats on a great find!
Posted by: Sabina | November 14, 2009 at 04:14 AM
I think the giant sizes (you) and the tiny sizes (me) are always to be found at last call! So glad you got them!
Posted by: Tina | November 15, 2009 at 06:57 PM

Just want to let you know that after reading your post i thought about these shoes... then found them today at Joyce Outlet in my size! (Joyce = Neimen Marcus in HK)! I bought them immediately, completely smitten with them!

Great content and it's so helpful for me. But it's so weird that your blog is in a mess through my explorer. Is that my explorer problem? But it's pretty normal when exploring other blogs.
