CMG Ballerina Flats

7 January 2008 4,900 views 17 Comments

CMG Flats I’ve been meaning to tell you guys about this pair of shoes. This is actually a gift from my sister last Christmas but I was there when she bought them. We were out shopping, you see, and we spotted and liked it.

What’s so special about them, you may ask. Well, twas just so adorable that we only got it Php 399.50 over at CMG in Glorietta 4, Makati City. Actually, the deal was get two pairs for the price of Php 799.00. Gah. But even getting one pair at that price is a good deal for me. LOL.

I’ve been meaning to get me some solid black flats and I now finally have one. I’ve been wearing it the past few weeks and I simply keep forgetting to take a photo of any of the outfits for a feature.

Another thing that I find adorable about it is the “shoebox”. I actually brought the pair home in a pouch with each shoe curled up inside.


CMG "Shoebox"

Yea, as you can see, my shoe size is 37. LOL. Cute, eh?

    I also bought two pairs a couple of months ago, one black and one bronze. Then I got tw pairs as a Christmas gift, bronze again and gunmetal. I love these flats because they’re so comfy! And of course, the price doesn’t hurt either. Hahahha!

    Nine West also sells these kinds of shoes but CMG’s shoe bag looks nicer. Price wise, well, Nine West is cheap if you are in the US and way cheaper if buying directly from outlet stores. But knowing CMG’s quality and price range, PHP399.50 is not bad at all.

    Kaye: Yes, they are comfortable! The garter would sometimes bother me but it’s easily excusable. :)
    Mel: Just as I thought. We did get it at a good deal. Hehe. ;)

    How much does a pair cost now? And are they still available in Glorietta 4? Hope to hear from you soon.

    Last time I went to CMG (though not in Glorietta), I didn’t see a pair on display. I’ll keep an eye out and will let you know IF it’s still available.

    Good buy, Sash!

    I like that kind of shoe coz it really shapes itself according to my foot size. However, these are ultra-sensitive and get worn faster than fixed leather ones.

    Thanks for sharing that. As for the shoe size, no I don’t. I believe you won’t get too far if you try to walk in a bigger set of shoes. ;)

    Inferior CUST SRVC at CMG Glorietta.

    We got there, looked at a pair of shoes, asked if they had size 9…

    There were one sales lady and one sales man…

    We immediately asked the sales lady if they had size 9, right off the bat she told us, “wala na po”. We got surprised, we thought, “how could she tell without even looking for it? Did she have super memory inventory in her head?”. So we asked her nicely, “could you please look for it at least?”, which she didn’t, instead she asked the salesman near the inventory room, as soon as she asked the question “meron ba tau size 9 nito?” the salesman, just like herself, immediately knew the answer! “Wala na.” Upon hearing it, the saleslady approached the counter, which stated the same seemingly fact. (oh my God! They got all the information for each pair of shoes in their head!).

    So, we stepped out, but then I decided to go back and asked whether some branches had it..when I got to the counter, there was another salesman (different from the first one), who knew the product, he said, “sir, meron po size 9 nito”. Apparently they had it!

    So, they packed up the item, but then the checkout girl at the counter couldn’t make split trasaction (atm + cash) without the manager’s…the girl asked for the manager and said, “mam, split transaction po”, so, the manager swiped off the card, but then when the tool showed some kind of error, she suddenly told us, with an assertive voice, by the way, “bawal balance inquiry”. “What?! We were not trying to make a balance inquiry!”, we thought. So, we informed her, we needed split transaction?

    I’d say it was a nightmare, definitely POOR POOR POOR Cust Srvc. They had so much “katamaran” to look for an item and the manager’s lack of probing questions. They almost lost a sale, I’d say.

    Had I not went back, there wouldn’t had been the guy who knew the product’s availability and so the sale! Will they just put their sale on “pagkakataon”? Wow!
