Anyone else finding Skullpanda pieces outside of official drops?

I’ve been collecting Skullpanda for a bit now, mostly sticking to official drops, but lately I’ve also been exploring secondhand options. I’ve seen some interesting listings through trades, resellers, and even a few live auctions on whatnot.

What surprised me is how often older series, opened boxes, or dupes pop up when people are downsizing collections. It feels more relaxed than fighting drop times, and sometimes you get to hear why someone is letting a piece go.

Not trying to buy or sell here, just curious. Are most of you sticking strictly to drops, or are you also picking up Skullpanda through secondhand or live platforms?

Why can’t I wear a 39? 😭😭😭

I just came across these for sale. Have never seen Them before and I love them. Anyone know what they’re called? They’re a 39 though and I’m in a shopping ban 😭😭😭🤣🤣

Edit: if anyone wears a 39 and wants the link let me know and I’ll send it. These are NOT mine. They are only listed for $224. They do need some chain reattachment but that’s easy.

Re-selling question

Is it better to repaint the bottoms with Angelus Walk on Red Paint Restorer, or let the natural wear of the shoe be self-evident?

As a buyer myself I guess I like to see the real deal of what I’m buying, but genuinely wondering what the general opinion is…

(Going to be reselling some Psychic Red Kates soon 😁)

Knee deep in finals. My only saving grace is the new pair I got in the mail today!

New pair that's definitely coming with me to Vegas!

I have had my eye on these for a bit, but it was hard to find without re-soled bottoms. These came from Japan and it seems that many of the pre-owned Loubs from Japan have the rubber soles. I prefer to do most of the scuffing on the bottoms myself. 😜 These reminded me of a comic book character. I thought they were super fun and unique.

I think I'll be wearing them to see No Doubt at the Sphere in Vegas. I have another pair as an option, but these are so much fun! I'll post my final outfit choice when I get to that point. It's still another few weeks away.

So, the patent parts are a little bit yellowed, which I have read in other posts has happened to other people's white shoes. I didn't notice it on the listing, but it was a really good deal, so I'm not overly concerned. Does anyone know if there is there a way to make it whiter again? I wouldn't mind brightening them up if it's possible.

Just nothing alta sizing

I have heard so many different suggestions of both sizing up/down in these. I am usually a 34.5, with high arches and wide feet. Two weeks ago, I tried on a 35.5 in-store. One foot fit perfectly, and the other was a little big. I wasn't fully convinced by the SA that I need 35.5 in these, so I ordered 34.5, 35, and 35.5 to try on. Today, when I tried them on, I have already been walking a decent amount and got to the store in the afternoon, I think the 34.5 fits best now? I have a pair of Rosalie Alta 34.5 on the way, would that fit similarly?

Quality check

I have noticed these glue defects on some sandal styles. I have a pair of just nothing that has peeled like this after some wear. This is a brand new pair of just nothing alta. Luckily (or unluckily), this time it peeled up before I even left the store, so I returned it right away. They really cannot deny me for wear and tear if I did not even leave the store with the shoes. Make sure to give the edges a little run-down if you have a similar pair. This has not yet happened to any of my close toe pairs.

Update to my seek of Brodiriza

Couple months ago I posted on this sub regarding on seeking a pair of Brodiriza because I really want it to be my wedding shoes. Unfortunately Louboutin doesn’t make them anymore and I’m not a big fan of the Miss Z collection.
I even rushed to get a pair off chalky white Irzia as my backup shoe in case I never be able to find a pair of Brodiriza.
Well the search is OVER!
I found a pair that is not in so good of condition because of its was store improperly in HK’s humidity. But somehow my dry cleaner was able to remove most of the yellowing and restore the shoe largely to an acceptable stage.
I now have two pairs of bridal shoes. I might not wear the chalky white Irzia anymore if everything goes to plan. If anyone is interested for the chalky white pair after June please lemme know! It is still brand new in the box.

All black boot moment with my favourite Louboutins!

So Kates at work!

What do you think? I struggle with combining outfits with louboutins. How do you like to pair them with?

Sizing question

Hello!! I just bought these and was wondering if it was normal for a little slipping, but not much and I can’t fit a whole finger in the back just a finger nail. They’re the Kate 85mm. Should I get a half size down or buy inserts?

Will these Pigalles give a little?

I can't believe how much time has passed. I bought this pair of pigalle 85 in 2015. I wore them twice but with pregnancies and then the pandemic etc, I just haven't had an opportunity to wear them since. Now, they are tight. I can get my foot in them but it is tight. For those of you that have these or other patent versions, do these give a little? Trying to figure out whether I should wear them around or if it's time to cut them loose.

Thanks in advance!

Sizing question

I bought these Pigalle follies off the real real. I’m size US 7.5. These were listed as size 7 however they’re size 37.5. I already have this pair in nude in size 37 which I think fit ok after breaking them in. These fit, however the right foot is a little big. I feel like after using them they’ll be too big. Should I keep them?

I’ve just purchased one of my ultimate dream pairs…

Hot Chick 130’s in Leopardino 🫣

Well, in all honesty I’ve always lusted after the HC130’s but didn’t think I’d get a pair. I had been looking for some So Kate’s in Leopardino - so I guess 2 birds with one stone & I’ve saved some money? 😅

I can’t wait for them to arrive!

Personally, I’m thrilled with the price I paid. But I’m curious, what do you think is a fair price for them?

So Kates keep slipping off

Hello guys, I‘ve recently bought a pair of So Kates 100 in this beautiful brown color in my usual size, but somehow they keep slipping off sometimes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how go fix it? I‘ve already put a thin sole in, but it doesn‘t really fix it. The SA said, that my foot is basically too big to fit into the shoe, but it didn‘t really make sense to me.

Ignore my pants, they’re too short, I know. I‘m a tall gal.

In Search Of

I know this model is not that “old” but I can’t seem to find her in my size 38 and I cannot stop dreaming about her (yes. It’s a she!)

If you ever see her, please think of me and send the link my way ? 😂
