GUIDI

has anyone had any issues with the zip taping on their Guidi's? the taping on my backzips has started tearing around the heel, although this was after over a year of almost daily wear.

I was at Alan Bilzerian the other day and those blue/purple boots had just landed there too. Those are for just the right person with just the right wardrobe but quite stunning in person nonetheless.

How does that store function? It's so cramped and just unappealing. I know it's old school and it's supposed to be charming, but it isn't.

Agreed - they have some really good buys but the presentation does not do it any service. Living in Boston I'm happy to have it for what they stock but I cannot see why they don't either A) move to a bigger space or B) trim down the inventory. They don't seem to clear things that don't sell for years...

guidi with metal heel is interesting is that a post factory add on? as in not done by guidi or are they actually adding it themselves?

[Faust]

It's Guidi. You think stores would add stuff on top of a product they sell?

stores? lol, i am wondering if it was a collab or something similar

That is a really nice red up there. The metal collar on the heel is interesting as well... I wonder if it's .925? :)

Not too keen on the strips of metal. In my personal opinion, Guidi is at their best when they're as minimal as possible -- backzips, soft toe, no-seam derbies, etc. -- in a way that just shows off the leather (and their heels generally look great). I'm not sure what a random metal embellishment really does for the shoe, feels a little tacky to me, but I suppose they want to try out new ideas and keep things fresh. Now if the metal stretched under the heel and protected them, they might be on to something...
