Hello
I am looking for a pair of classic opera pumps/court shoes for a black tie rig(and also because I happen to be one of these maniacs that find them stunning rather than silly).

As to styling: bow can be pinched or flat, grosgrain or anything else, they can be patent or calfskin - I'm not too picky.

As to sizing: I generally wear 11 US/ 10 UK/ 44-45 EU, but I have read somewhere that I might need to go down a size or two with pumps, as they need to fit rather tight to not slip on the heel. So essentially if you have a pair anywhere in the vicinity of my shoe size - do hit me up! Measurements and your experience with the shoes will probably be what determines wether I am go.

As to pricing: I would say that this vary greatly on the condition and quality of the given shoe. I am looking for something used, so I would expect it to be reasonably priced - but if it is near mint/ lightly used I am sure we can come to an agreement. The pricing I smacked onto this post is around my limit though, I would like to stay at about 100 £ shipped or less.

Do contact me!
I included some Opera Pump sexiness by mr. Sinatra - enjoy.

I just got these off eBay and was about to return them, when I came upon your post. They might be right up your alley. Size US10.5, made by Bally. Flat bow, grosgrain trim (which is of course much darker in person without a camera flash). They are new without box, but have been tried on a few times in whatever shop they came from. Let me know what you think.

While they are beautiful in their own right, they are not quite what I am looking for. The vamp looks too long making it more of a loafer/slip on. I don't really know what the make of the grosgrain trim either.
No thank you sir :)
