User Reviews
These fit very true to size, and are just blingy and colorful enough to brighten up my office outfits, without overdoing it. I love D'Orsay styles, but find that they are very uncomfortable if not well-designed. With these, there is enough structure and coverage so that my feet don't slip. The color is great, and is feminine without screaming "pink".They could probably use a bit more padding, as with most CL shoes I've tried - although it is difficult in this style, and dressy flats generally. I have high arches, and fairly narrow to medium sizing - the fit has stayed consistent, and they are comfortable.
Really cute flats, I love the two tone and style. However, they are god awful on your feet! The back of the shoe fits fine but the toe box is very very tight and stiff as a board. I put heel protectors inside the shoes and wore bandaids on both feet....still ended up with horrible blisters on the inside of my heels and on my pinky toes. I normally buy the cheapest flats I can find as they wear out so quickly so I'm a little pissed off that I spent quite a bit more on these and they are killing my feet! I'm planning to wear them sparingly for a few weeks and hopefully they break in.
Perfect durable long lasting flats. I’ve bought Chinese laundry before and they’re fantastic. True to size, no toe cleavage. 7.5 my normal size, so happy with these. They’re stiff upon arrival as with any leather shoes so be sure and break them in before wearing out. I wet the back of the heel slightly and wear them around the house to soften them up. Will form to your feet once worn a bit.
Great shoe that can be dressed up or down. Very comfortable and stylish. It does run somewhat small, as I am usually a size 6 but ordered up (half a size) based on other user reviews. A size 6 would have been too small!
I am usually between a 7 and 7.5, moreso for width. Based on the comments I was worried these would be too small at a 7.5 so I got the white and pink ones in an 8. They arrived and we huge! I exchanged for a 7.5 of the cheetah and I'm in love. The fur detail is killer and they're overall just a beautiful shoe. Only thing about sizing is they are less comfortable width wise in the 7.5 but I have shoe stretchers that can hopefully help me with it. Love this shoe!
The toe box is very tight. I have very narrow feet and these were tight. I even bought a shoe stretcher and tried to stretch them a bit and they are still very tight. The heel however pops off whenever I go up or down stairs. The liner where your foot rests also peeled up after only wearing 2-3 times. They are cute so I will keep them, but I wouldn't every buy this brand again.
Very elegant style but material is hard on the foot.I usually wear 9.5 in close-toed but this turned out to be quite loose
Quite possibly the coolest shoes I own. They fit true to size and look gorgeous. They are different and will be such a great complimentvto so many outfits. I just received them today so can't comment on how comfortable they are to wear walking around but they're so cute I really don't care!
