They offer the same styles & also can be bought on line at their website www.londonsole.com - They should NOT be mistaken for the US version of FrenchSole in NYC (now called FSNY)...they are an entirely different company offering an entirely different type of shoe style & fit. London Sole shoes are by far the most comfy, stylish & buttery soft leather shoes around...locations in the US are in Santa Monica, CA; San Fran, CA; & Miami Beach, FL. Each shop is warm, welcoming,comfy,beautifully decorated & offer outstanding customer service!

I would suggest that you wait for the sale, or shop for it when you travel abroad (or ask someone who has plans of traveling soon to get it for you). Here it will come out to about P20k, so that's still a whole lot cheaper. While the flats are generally comfortable (based on certain styles I've tried on in stores) and the shape is a classic, I myself am not yet convinced if it is worth it. But I guess, if I were working now, and I had the extra cash, I wouldn't mind blowing it on a pair of Lanvins =)cd_mfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11720208087294324480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32905550.post-11451453051559174902008-03-30T22:39:00.000-07:002008-03-30T22:39:00.000-07:00the lanvin ballet shoes (i can't bring myself to c...the lanvin ballet shoes (i can't bring myself to call them flats because of the "secret" elevation) are about P30K.... quite expensive!<BR/><BR/>so i would be grateful for the inputs about it before i make the investment.<BR/><BR/>your comparison really was very helpful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32905550.post-38065947286069969182008-03-30T17:33:00.000-07:002008-03-30T17:33:00.000-07:00Hi Anon 4:47!

She's also the driving force behind London Sole.
