As for the Cydwoq shoes, the finish has worn very well -- they're more an antiqued kind of finish rather than being at all patenty-gold. Crackled, as you say, and they haven't lost the gold much at all. I'm not quite as keen about how the heel lasts and haven't yet tried to find a cobbler who can restore it, but I was told when I bought them that they could recommend someone. Hope you find and enjoy a pair.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-47406543154530954372009-06-28T07:44:11.896-07:002009-06-28T07:44:11.896-07:00Hi i found your blog looking for Cydwoq Dust.

Just curious...are they realy crackled? did they start losing more of the gold as you wore them? I realy want a pair but cannot picture how the color looks.

They look great for Paris (oooh I'm soo jealous!). I tend to like flats when doing a lot of walking but a bit of heel is nicer if I am standing a great deal so I tend to alternate (of course that is much harder on the shoe budget).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-90849822188595596592008-04-27T21:48:00.000-07:002008-04-27T21:48:00.000-07:00Vivienne: Sounds as if you have some sophisticated...Vivienne: Sounds as if you have some sophisticated shoe-shopping out in Mission.

I bought some Cydwoq pumps (grey hair calf devore) with the little bronze heel and the same looking last. The sole flexes when you walk - very comfortable for short distances but after a trip miscalculation that had me walking 2km, I have terrible arch and calf pain.<BR/>But no blisters!<BR/>I got mine at Goody Too Shoes in Mission and I will definitely be going back for more.

Aren't we lucky to have insurance? And thanks for the comments on the shoes. I'm wearing them this weekend, checking out their city-wearability. Yes, they're out of LA -- I was pleased with that, since there's less risk I'll find them cheaper in Paris or Portugal as might be the case with some of the Euro-brands.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-89162738301100542812008-04-25T19:08:00.000-07:002008-04-25T19:08:00.000-07:00Wow, Cydwoq is an LA-based company!Wow, Cydwoq is an LA-based company!Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-31172823883650274942008-04-25T19:03:00.000-07:002008-04-25T19:03:00.000-07:00Congrats on the non-root canal!

Sincere sympathy re the dental problems. We're fortunate enough to both have dental insurance plans through work, but there may be no insult greater than that of having to pay for the injury of dental work. Especially when you think in terms of shoes sacrificed! I had all that old amalgam replaced, quadrant by quadrant, two or three years ago, and I naively thought I'd be homefree for a few years (to be honest, I hoped decades!)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-57303193690201458312008-04-25T08:23:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:23:00.000-07:00Is Cydwoq Vulcan for heavenly shoes? for heavenly ...Is Cydwoq Vulcan for heavenly shoes? for heavenly these are, how can you doubt that they would be perfect for Paris? everyone I saw wore flats (all that walking)I am V jealous.
