My Manolo Blahnik Lurum Pumps

 

Time for a new post and today it is going to be all about shoes. The beautiful Manolo Blahnik Lurum pumps to be precise. When I first saw these shoes, I fell in love. They were everything that I adored about Manolo Blahnik. I tried to stop myself from buying them by pretending that they didn’t exist. However, social media influencing fought back and these Lorum pumps were pushed down my throat like crack. I needed them. So, on a rainy Sunday afternoon when I had nothing better to do than online shop, I went ahead and bought myself a pair of the stunning Manolo Blahnik Lurum Pumps. In this post I am going to let you guys know why I adore these shoes so much…

 

Why I wanted these shoes.

The main reason why I wanted these shoes is because they are an iconic pair of Manolo Blahnik heels. Not only are they stunning, but they are also a timeless pair of shoes. Plus, I bought my first pair of Manolo heels almost 10 years ago and that same pair of shoes are still looking just as good as the day that I unboxed them. Because of that I know that they are good value for money. Not to mention I could think of a thousand different ways that I could wear the Lurum Pumps and because of that I thought they would be a good investment for my closet.

 

What these shoes cost.

This is the eyewatering part of this post. When I purchases these heels a couple of years ago they cost me £995. However, since then there has been a price increase and they are now almost £1100. Which is a staggering amount for a pair of heels. I used to say that my price cap for heels was £700, but I pushed the limit to make an exception for these. I just wish I didn’t love them as much as I do because the price tag really is pretty eyewatering. However, after owning and wearing Manolo Blahnik heels for many years, I can vouch for the amazing quality of the shoes. That is why I was happy to pay this astronomical price.

 

The comfort level.

One thing that I want to mention when talking about these Manolo Blahnik Lurum Pumps is the comfort level. Obviously, comfort when it comes to heels is subjective. It 100% comes down to your experience when it comes to wearing high heels. If you are completely new to wearing heels, you will deem them uncomfortable. However, for somebody like me that loves heels, I think these are without a doubt some of the most comfortable heels that I own. I have worn these for a full day around London before. I walked for miles in them and because they are mules, I was able to slide my foot out easily when I needed to rest the ball of my foot.

 

The heel height.

I got these Manolo Blahnik Lurum Pumps in the 100mm heel height. Over the years, I have purchased designer heels in a wide variety of heel heights. Without a doubt, I find heels which are 100mm to be the most comfortable and easiest to manage. I can confidently walk for miles in these shoes because the heel height is just right and I don’t feel like I am tottering around on anything too high. I can remember when I had my pair of 160mm Louboutin’s, I felt like I was walking on stilts. Not to mention I looked like a prat in ridiculously big heels!

 

The durability.

One thing that I have worried about was the material that these shoes were made of. The main part of these shoes is made from satin. Notoriously, satin is not a particularly hardwearing material. Which made me instantly nervous to wear these in anything other than fine weather. After getting caught in the rain with my black pair, I realised that the fabric was too dark to show damage or water marks on the fabric. However, I learnt a painful lesson with my yellow pair. The long and short of it is, these shoes are not designed or even remotely suitable if it isn’t a dry day.

 

Would I purchase these again?

You can probably guess from this post, but I am a massive fan of these shoes. If my black pair were to go to die tomorrow, I would without a doubt buy another pair immediately. However, the proof is in the pudding. Since I purchased my black pair, I have since bought a deep green velvet pair, a nude pair and yellow. I wear them all interchangeably and no matter where or when I wear them, I always get countless compliments. If you are looking to make your first big heel purchase, I think these Manolo Blahnik Lurum Pumps are a great choice.

 

As I am sure you guys can gather from this post, I adore these Manolo Blahnik Lurum Pumps. There are very few pairs of shoes that I would get in multiple colours, but I certainly would with these shoes. I feel like they are such a versatile pair of shoes and I adore how they look and feel. Regardless of my outfit, these Manolo Blahnik Lurum Pumps always make me feel like a solid 10/10. Literally, I could be wearing a full tracksuit and these heels are going to make me feel like a Hollywood star.  As always, I will link to this product below in case you would like to check these out for yourself.
