While I was recovering from kidney stone surgery I had extra time for online shopping. I placed my first order with Bluefly and found the shipping to be timely and package nicely wrapped. I got the shoes at a great price point - they were of course marked down from retail, and I believe an extra $50 off that day (some days I've seen $30), along with shipping at no charge. When I ordered there were only two sizes available, 39 (mine) and another... I was a little concerned because after I ordered I checked availability again and 39s were still showing as available, with the other sold out. I checked back a couple of times before they arrived and noticed that different sizes became available and unavailable. I'm not sure how they work their stock but this makes me think it's worth it to request notice if an item you want is currently not available and comes back in stock because there is a chance it will pop up.
I'm delighted with the shoes. I noticed a pair almost exactly the same - I'd say looked to be the same style, just a different color - at the Nordstrom flagship later which, at full retail, cost more than twice what I paid for these.
Going through some old iPhone pictures recently, I noticed this snapshot that I took during the Neiman Marcus fashion show last Fall. I think these may be the same shoes - there were some Prada in the show. Here are the ones I think they are on their website, in black. I loved the blue shoes and color combinations in the show but had no plans to pay that much for a pair of blue shoes at the time so forgot about them. Happily my pair popped up on Bluefly at a fraction of the price.
Have you shopped Bluefly? What did you think?

Sorry to hear about your bout with a kidney stone. Hope that you are on the mend now. Those shoes look fabulous and a guilt free buy. I could never walk in those heels though. I bought 3 pairs of shoes at Nordstroms this week when we were in Seattle. Easy as pie when they have such great shoes:-))
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you enjoyed your visit to Seattle! Sounds like you did :-)
DeleteI've had only good experiences with Bluefly. As with any merchant, a lot of the stock isn't for me, but the stuff that is - really is. And I love feeling that someone took a little trouble with the packing.
ReplyDeleteAnd now tell us about the shoes - is the fit narrow? wide? any gapping? Just me being nosy, and I'm delighted to hear that you've recovered enough to think about shoes.
That is good to hear. I've only tried them on at this point - not worn them out - but they feel good. I wear medium width shoes though I feel my feet may be just a smidge on the wide side and these are perfect. TTS with my usual 39. The Louboutin Pigalles definitely pinch my toes but these are not so pointy. And Thank you :)
DeleteDear Sparrowsandsparkle,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are recovering well - having so absolutely lovely shoes waiting to be walked in! I love High Heels - and the blue is really smashing.
Enjoy it soon!
Thank you Brigitta!
