First off, Made in ITALY, people! I mean, does it GET any better? We all know Italian craftsmanship is, like, legendary. Even my grandma knows that, and she wears orthopedic shoes… mostly. But anyway, Givenchy. They’re supposed to be, like, *the* shoes to lust after. And honestly? Sometimes they ARE. But sometimes… *shrugs*
Okay, so you got your over-the-knee boots (uh, bestsellers apparently? I dunno, I’d prob trip and die in those), sneakers (Saks carries ’em, free shipping! Score!), and… well, boots for men. Because apparently men need Givenchy too. Who knew? (Okay, *I* knew, but still). They got derbies, sneakers (the “iconic City and Spectre”, whatever THAT means – sounds like a bad sci-fi movie), and SANDALS. Sandals? Givenchy? I’m picturing, like, super-expensive, uncomfortable flip-flops. Am I wrong? Someone TELL ME.
Then there’s the whole SIZING thing. Do they run small? It’s the eternal question with designer shoes, isn’t it? Like, am I really a size 8 or am I just kidding myself and need a 9 in Givenchy? The struggle is REAL. Apparently there are “sizing insights” and “fit guides” out there. Good luck finding one that actually makes sense. I usually just wing it and hope for the best. Maybe order two sizes and return the one that makes my toes scream.
And the *COLORS*. Midnight black? Obvs. Flamingo pink? Okay, that’s kinda fun. Ruby red? Sure, I’m feeling fancy. But honestly, you could probably find the same colors ANYWHERE. It’s all about the *name*, isn’t it? GIVENCHY. Makes you feel all boujee and sophisticated, even if you’re just wearing them to the grocery store.
Oh, and sneakers! The ARTICLE I read (sort of) talked about the “top 20” Givenchy sneakers. TOP 20?! That’s a LOT of sneakers. Apparently they all have “unique design elements” and “inspirations”. I’m guessing the inspiration is “money”. Just a hunch.
