The Nettie Heeled Mary Jane (Women)

These shoes are beautiful but oh my goodness they are so painful. I’m shocked at the reviews saying how comfortable they are. Maybe I got a bad pair… I did my usual walk around in socks for a few days around the house to begin to shape them to my foot. But after walking about 1 mile in them tonight with only no shoe socks, I am cut up and bleeding. My feet are average width I’d say, I’m a true size 7, nothing special. But I think I will be recovering from my battle wounds for a week or two. Shame, because they’re so cute.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] but needs a break in period! Wore these to a wedding and had blisters on the back of my heels and top of my pinky toes by the middle of the night.Love the color and style - great for dressing up cocktail attire or adding a pop to a date night outfit.

I bought these shoes when I was visiting home in the US at Christmas. I wore them once then, and they weren't the most comfortable, but I figured they would just need time to break in. Fast forward several months, more wears in now in London (i.e. lots of walking), and they are just not comfortable. I recently wore them to work and they caused blisters that bled through my tights. Again, they are so cute - but I likely will not buy another pair of shoes from Madewell again as this is my third pair to cause discomfort and consistent blisters/bleeding.
