1. “Carolyne” is probably the most famous style and a classic Manolo. If you are shopping for a first pair, and the one that would go with anything- this is a “must have”. If you have a collection, it is not complete without it. It comes every material and color combination possible. They are named after Carolyne Roehm, a fashion designer and were created in the 80s.

4. “Sedaraby” were made famous by one of the episodes of Sex and the City” and are now more commonly known as Carrie’s stolen shoes. Sedaraby is a classic Manolo d’orsey look with open toe. They come in suede, leather, fabric, exotic skins and a large variety of color. Front detail is also optional.
Here is the famous “Sex and the City” version of Sedaraby:

5. “The Evangelista” was inspired by Linda Evnagelista. This is more of a general style name now and individual material/color may carry other names. This is a great classic flat that is always in style, no matter what the fashion is.
Here is a version called “Zazate”

6. “Astuta” has gained a lot of popularity. Astuta is a slide with many heel variations.
Here is one of them:

7. Classic Manolo pumps are a must have. The classic version has several names, including “Omanal” and “Froda”. You may find that the same identical shoe will be called by one name at Saks and by another at Bergdorf Goodman.

8. Manolo mules and Mary Janes (the Urban Myth) cannot go unmentioned. There are so many varieties, that we can right a whole separate guide just about them. If a lot of you vote “yes” below to this guide being helpful, we will know that general subject of Manolo Blahnik is of an interest and will follow up with more.

Now to sizing:

Manolo Blahnik shoes run small and narrow. Always add 30.5 to your US size (if you are US 8, you need 38.5 in Manolos). If your feet are on the wide side, add 31. Sedaraby can be an exception, more so if they are suede. Mules run extra small, add 31. If you have wide feet, mules might not be such a good idea for you, but slides will work well. Ask the seller. If this seller sells a lot of Manolos, they know how they run and have feedback from customers. Any shoe repair has a special several kinds of stretchers. If they shoes are tight, ask for them to be stretched and make sure that they keep in on stretcher for more then 24 hours for best results. There are also spot stretchers. Ask for those if just one spot is tight or if you have bunions (yes, all of you non-bunion young hot things, people with bunions are also allowed to wear Manolos).
