In the past couple of months, I've added four pairs of shoes to my closet. Which is a lot for me. Two of them were Litas. Here's the first pair:
Lita Spike
These are so heavy! They were my first pair of Litas. Ever. They run a half size big, so I got a 5.5. I ordered them online from Nastygal because they had my size and they were having a 30% off sale on all Litas. I think they ended up being around $144 (tax included & free shipping), originally $188. They're on sale everywhere now, from $80 and up. I was obsessed with these booties! Comfortable and didn't have to get used to walking in them. The spikes are def sharp. I can't take them off by the heel. It does come with extra spikes and studs.
WHAT SUCKED was that 3 spikes fell off in one night. When they first arrived, one spike was missing. Not a big deal. Stuck one back in and super glued it. I wore them out to a club and they were fine. BUT THEN I made the mistake of wearing them to a show (Mat Zo at Exchange) and that's where 3 fell off. So my advice is to not wear them to a show. Or crowded bar. Anywhere where there's going to be rough people, the spikes will fall off.
Now, to have the spikes replaced, I have to take it to a shoe repair shop :(
ON TO THE NEXT:
CoCo Lita
These were limited edition, only sold at Imonni, which is a secondhand vintage store. They're inspired by Coco Chanel, with the black patent leather toecap, quilted shoe, and gold and patent leather chain. The chain harness is removable, which is awesome.
These were $160 plus tax. Same price as regular Litas. I was on the hunt for all black Litas. I saw a pair on misskl.com a while back, but they weren't available anymore when I had the money. Then these came up and I HAD to have them. They fit like regular Litas, so I have them in a 6. They're light, more comfortable than the Spikes, and the chain is so cute!
I think I'm set for Litas. I'm not into those crazy printed ones. I can't pull those off. btw, when I first saw Litas, I didn't like them. I thought they were so chunky. But they grew on me and now I own two pairs. My parents call them Munster shoes lol.
