Well priced, stylish and very comfortable.
I just got these shoes only a couple a few days ago now and I have worn them one time. I wore them yesterday for the afternoon, and they were actually really nice and comfortable. My only two qualms about these shoes is the fact that their square toe, so I feel like they should be a more snug fit. I have very small feet, so finding shoes to fit me is a chore and itself, and knowing that I can’t go below the normal sizes unless I go to children’s wear, I just have to deal with it. However, I do wish these were a little more snug.My other Quam is the sound that the shoes make when you’re walking. It’s loud and annoying and it’s almost like the material is breaking in but loudly lolOther than those two issues and they’re not even really issues, I am very happy with my purchase and yes, I would highly recommend to all of my girlfriends
This flat is cute but it’s made out of very poor quality leather that broke along the stitching. I wore them very seldom and still, they broke after less than a dozen wears. Also, the sole is very thin and you will feel every pebble you walk on.
Love these! Not only are these cute, but they are comfortable. I wore them with no socks, no breaking in and my feet felt great. Walking about in NYC and no blisters. My feet didn't get sweaty either. I am buying another pair.
Way to big
Look gorgeous on feet
They are really nice shoes. The leather is super soft and the quilting is nice as well. BUT they are really huge!! I'm a standard size 9 and they are really long in the toe box. My other issue is the sole. I wish it was a little more sturdy. It's really thin. I'm on the fence about keeping them. I got them when the price was reduced thinking I got a great deal but now I'm wondering if i did. I definitely wouldn't have paid $100 for them.
the lid to shoe box is torn and has a knife slit on it . plus I got sent the wrong size (9.5). I ordered a size 10.
