Old Manolo Blahnik

No, I know this is a little ridiculous, but hear me out (I’ve done the research, unpaid, in fact with past debt to show for it): Manolo Blahniks used to have these ever so slightly thicker heels that make them extraordinarily wearable. The new ones are trying for that (I can see them trying to push out that stem) but the construction of old Manolos are just better. Go on The RealReal, Vestiaire, Poshmark, whatever, and don’t spend more than $300 and you’re set with a fabulous pair of shoes.
