A review from wide feet with high arch

I tried them in store and fell in love immediately. The ivory at first make my feet look a little big, however it offers a great summer vibe. I went with my normal size, yes, the width is a little bit narrower, however, it does not feel too bad because they are made of real leather and they are pretty stretchy and comfortable. I don’t even need break-in time, and don’t have to worry about getting a little bit of rain.

A no no for me

They sent me one worn shoe and the other pair brand new. One pair is so worn that they’re a different color. So upset. Won’t use them. Also, runs small! I’m a 7 and ordered a 7. My feet barely fits.

runs narrow and slightly small

Whoever said these ran large did not read the size chart. I sized 1/2 down and these were a challenge to get on (sold out in my regular size or I’d exchange), they’re narrow and feel stiff in the area that needs to give a little. I will be stretching these if possible since they are suede but getting my foot in these was a HUGE challenge.

Wanna luv it, but…

Love the look of this.. But, it seems anytime i try and buy these type shoes, my heel slips out in the back. But, in this case it does not. However, it’s given me a blister on the very back of my foot, cause it’s new? It’s not a leather shoe and you can feel it.

Confort and look

They are very comfortable for everyday wear but fit a little bigger. Nice for any occasion.

These run VERY small.

These run VERY small and narrow. I wish I had gotten at least a half size bigger.

Look great…..But…

Bought these a few weeks ago and the first time I wore them the stitching came undone after 2 hours! Wish I could have exchange.

Ugly feet

I have never seen my feet look so ugly in shoes. These shoes make my feet look terrible.

Cute shoe! Runs big

Bought these last week & am pleasantly surprised! They look great w/ both cropped and long/loose jeans. A bit chunky but also stylized, I’ve gotten some compliments. SIZING was an issue though- I went down from my normal size 9 to an 8.5. They’re almost to tight in the toe of my larger foot, but somehow okay. The cushioned footbed makes them comfy. If you’re on the fence, size down. They get too wide and slip off if you go up in size.
