User Reviews
I love these shoes! Very cute, comfortable, and they go with everything! Very nice, slightly dressy, everyday shoe. The low wedge is a perfect height. Not too high and not flat. I can walk and stand in these without discomfort for a decent amount of time. I'm considering ordering another pair in another color because I like them so much! I have about five other pairs of Chinese Laundry shoes, and these actually fit a little large compared to my other ones (even though they are all the same size). I do recommend ordering a half size smaller than what you'd normally choose.
The height of the heel makes these shoes dressy, yet stable for seniors. My feet are a little wide and the rounded toe is great for me. I am not sure that they would work as well with narrow feet. This is my second pair of the black suede. So comfortable! I feel like a queen in them when we attend country club functions. I am in my 70’s. These are my “go to” party shoes!
I bought these to replace some other nude shoes that basically destroyed my feet. Like, I walked down the street a few blocks and I was bleeding from a few spots on my feet. It wasn't the first time I'd worn those shoes, but it was the first time I'd walked more than maybe 100 consecutive feet in them. Anyway, they were sacrificed to the costuming gods and I got these to wear to work and stuff.Now, I have some foot issues - I was in a car accident and my right foot is a little jacked. However, I don't usually have a problem with shoes. These do pinch a little at the top where the bone in my big toe rests against the edge of the shoe, but that's really more my problem and I don't think other people will have that same issue. They also seem to run a little large. I'm usually pretty solidly a size 6 and these flop a bit. I'm sure some of those inserts that go in the heel of dress shoes will help, but it's just something to note. I feel like a half size smaller would either be perfect or right on the edge of too tight. Seriously, why don't they make shoes in quarter sizes?Anyway, they look nice and I get compliments on them when I wear them. They aren't too high, which is great and makes them comfortable for standing. I don't know that I could go a full day standing in them, but again, that's more a problem with me than the shoes. So, yeah, I'd recommend them.
The shoes came and we're in great condition and very stylish. That being said in the last 6 years or so I have stopped wearing heels of any kind. I grew tired of constantly being unfomortable when wearing them. This was my first purchase of a heel in quite some time and the reason I ended up returning the shoes was largely due the heel area of the shoes. The back of the shoe is fairly stiff and doesn't have much flex to it. Nor is there really any cushion of any kind. I could tell I would end up with blisters and since this purchase was for a wedding I would be in, I didn't want to be uncomfortable all day in them. I think if you are someone who wears heels on a frequent basis this may not bother you. My ultimate goal with these shoes was comfort and unfortunately they just didn't work for me so I returned them. Which was a bummer, because they really are cute shoes. I used the size guide when buying the shoes and I felt like it was pretty spot on.
Quick shipping, good quality
These shoes are super cute and nominally comfortable. They are very cheaply made and reflect the price that was charged. The biggest negative with these awful shoes (and what makes them awful) is the super annoying LOUD noise these cheap shoes make. Unless you work somewhere completely carpeted, these shoes are obnoxiously loud and embarrassing to wear. Beyond the obnoxious loud noise these shoes make as a result of their cheap plastic sole, the cheap plastic sole also makes these extremely dangerous to wear. I live and work in the mountains at a school and wore these when it was raining outside and almost killed myself walking in the hall as these soles are super slippery. In fact, even if they were loud I still would not take the risk of wearing them as they are that dangerous. Too bad Chinese Laundry cheaped out and wouldn't put some rubber on the plastic sole to make them quiet and not dangerous.
Shoes look great. Seem nicely made. My usual shoe size is 7 1/2 to 8, these were huge. Like wearing flip flops! Bought them for a special occasion but didn’t wear them. There was no way I could wear these as it was a dressy gathering.
Cute shoe, fits as expected, comfortable. I am a high school teacher so I’m on my feet all day and I was fine at the end of the day. They’re not tennis shoe comfy but good for a dress shoe with a heel.
