I like them both, but I think I'm leaning towards the strappy one. Does anyone have these yet? What is the brown like? It looks a little orange in the pic of the strappy ones. Also, anyone know how they fit/comfort factor? Anyone know where I can go to see these in person? I would hate to spend $ on shipping only to return them when I see them IRL. Thanks!
I have the first pair and I'm very pleased with them. I haven't worn them out because it is still chilly here but they seem very comfortable. They do run a bit small though so I recommend sizing up. They only come in whole sizes; I'm a 7.5 and I ordered and 8 and they barely fit. I dont think they would fit someone who always wears an 8. I probably could even wear them in 9. I don't know where you can see them in person, but if you like them in the picture I don't think you'll be disappointed. they're very, very cute.
I ordered the first ones from shopbop on sunday and they shipped out today so I should be getting them in a few days, although I'm hoping they will fit me after that last comment because I wear a 7 and ordered a 7, I'll post when I get them.
I have the first ones in cream. I'm usually a 7.5 but sometimes an 8. Since they only come in full sizes I ordered the 8 and it was too small. I'm waiting for the 9 but I haven't received it yet, I have never worn a 9 in any shoe so I really don't know if it will work but I LOVE them so I'm crossing my fingers.
aigh! now you guys are making me nervous b/c i just ordered them in a 6 and i wear a 6 in EVERY pair of shoes i own! the only pair i don't wear a 6 in is the charles david wedge's i just bought- and those are 5.5- hopefully the C.Ronson fit!
hey katya - I have had mine (pair #1) for about a year and love them. Aside from my prior warnings about the rubbing from the leather (could be because they are slightly big on me because I usually wear between 8.5-9 and these are a solid 9), they are a great buy. They look great with almost everything in my summer arsenal - skirts, jeans, dresses, whatever.
If I were you, I'd get the strappier ones (I have the others). Not only are they the more recent model (as I said, have had mine a year), but they don't like like the leather would be as thick/hard.
Oh -the brown is an orangy tan.

I've got both. The leather is definitely a different color. More of a dark luggage brown on the annabelles and a honey tan on the strappy ones. Pretty darn close to how the photos depict. The strappy ones seem to be more true to size. I have narrow feet and the annabelles are a little snugger in the toe area. I'm a 6.5, ordered 7s on both and they both fit, though the annabelles are definitely tighter. Overall, they're both divine! Let me know if you have other questions... HTH!
