How are these shoes as far as comfort? I had surgery and can pretty much *only* wear Born, Indigo by Clarks..that kind of thing. I truly struggle to find shoes that aren't granny-looking. They have to not be narrow. I always got the impression that Manolos might be well made, but are just as uncomfortable as most women's shoes. Am I wrong? Because if I am I'd love to look into a pair.

omg! I totally understand the addiction to Manolos! I've been collecting before SATC! I have over 300!!! pairs of shoes, a good deal are Manolo, Christian Leboutin etc. Neiman Marcus gets most of my money.

I have to say that Louboutin pushes my buttons more that Blahnik does.

I also get all squealy when i spot a flash of red Louboutin sole on a TV show or in a movie.

Anyway, my first day in them they totally hurt my feet and gave me a blister (EEK!) I was so excited about them...still am but I'll probably need to buy some foot petal stuff. I guess I was just expecting them to be like heaven on my feet haha. Oh and DITTO on the Louboutins!

I'm slowly but surely building my shoe closet up with nicer and nicer pairs...I started small with some python gladiator platforms by Michael Kors, then snagged some Manolos and Louboutins on ebay. Both of the latter are basic black pumps, the Manolos are hand-woven and super sleek, the Louboutins are black leather with the sexiest, lowest cut front and MAD comfortable! I was amazed. And now I am hooked.

I could never afford Manolos, but even if I could my feet are nowhere near dainty enough for them. I'd have to have 2 toes removed before even attempting to squeeze my feet in a pair!

Me too... to be brutally honest, some Manolos are quite hideous.

I love some of the 'lesser known' brands like Giuseppi Zanotti, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, LAMB, Azzedine Alaia and Stuart Weitzman.

I think manolos are shoes that you can buy, and save up for, and they last your whole life as they are not an exact fashion trend! So you can wear them each year!
