MIA Women's Greta Mule, Luggage, 9 M US Review

When your 30yr old daughter steals your shoes you know you have a hit on your hands. This time though I'm not sharing no matter how she begs! They were instantly comfortable and give my jeans/top look a notch-up when wanting to look a bit dressier. They are also perfect for a dress. A win.

I love these. I am a true size 10 (not wide, not narrow, just normal) and I ordered a size 11 because I kept reading on multiple reviews that they ran small and I am so glad I did order one size up. There are two minute weird things to doing this: 1). since I am a true size 10 that means the 11 is somewhat of a different footbed mapping in that there is a subtle slight 'bump' design to arch the toes, I guess, not surprisingly, this is a bit off for a size 10 foot on an 11 shoe. However, I have gotten used to this and it doesn't impede me in any way, but I am aware of it from time-to-time as I walk on the hard pavement. 2). the sling-back-straps (the part which cannot be adjusted) is a bit longer around my ankles than what I require and at times when walking I feel as if they could slip under my heel but they never do, it just shifts somewhat down. I suspect it's because it's one size larger than what I need in all respects. So, why did I buy one size up and say I am happy with it? Because I hate breaking in leather shoes and having tight leather cutting into my toes and heels and by ordering a size up this was not an issue at all. Also, I do have a pettiness in aesthetics in that I am not a fan of toes curling over shoe peep-holes nor care for the sight of toe cleavage. I had been resisting ordering the closed toe ones because they don't seem to come in size 11 but after walking in both of these (black and red one size up) I think I might give them a try because it might just be ok in the end. I must mention that the gum traction on these is beyond superb with absorbing a lot of shock with each step. However, they are heavy at first and are clunky, even when you are used to them. They are a clog after all. I get so many compliments on them. I am considering purchasing the nude one and having them died a baby blue for summer. These are the least expensive clog I have found on the internet that feel totally worth it.

The cutest. Love them. I'm usually a 7.5 and I ordered the 8 since other reviews suggested so. I do have room on the back strap but the footbed it perfect so it works. They are very stable, easy to walk normally in. Perfect w jeans and dresses. I was debating these or the lower heel option and I'm glad I went with the higher heel - so easy and comfortable. The lower ones may have been frumpy. Don't hesitate, these are perfect for summer! (Also, mine also appeared dirty on the bottom as other reviewers mentioned but I think it's just the rubber not being trimmed. The actual leather on the top looks brand new.)

This shoe is so adorable, I get compliments all the time! I actually preferred the look and height of the Anja clog (Greta's flat-soled cousin) but after ordering and trying on both, I found the Greta was superior. First of all, the 3 inch heel is really only 2 inches because the front of the shoe is about an inch high already. This makes the authentic wooden heel surprisingly comfortable and doesn't cause as much pulling on my foot from the heel strap, which was a huge problem on the Anja - VERY uncomfortable. Second, the fit of the Greta just seemed to be better for my 7.5 size foot (I ordered an 8).BUT alas, I do have some gripes with the Greta. I ordered the natural leather color which is a gorgeous light pink. After only a few days of wearing them, I splashed some water on my new shoes, which created lasting dark splotches - not a terrible color on it's own but very unsightly as splotches. I was surprised to find the spots did not clear up when they dried. It was just water! Maybe I just don't know a lot about leather, but I've never had lasting spots from water on my leather, my other leather footwear usually dries up just fine. They must be really untreated leather and very absorbent, which I foresee as a problem since I am a mom. This may not be a problem with the other colors. I contacted MIA to see what I should do about the spots and they recommended a water-proofing leather spray - pointless since they've already been exposed to water, so thanks MIA. I'm taking them to a shoe repairman to see if he can professionally seal them for me. Also I've had moderate blistering in random places. This isn't a big deal for me because I walk a great deal during the day and expect blistering with all new shoes, but I thought I'd mention it.

I am a size 10 and after reading so many of the reviews, I ordered a size 11 and it fits perfectly. The only reason people are having to size up is because the shoes have European sizing on them. The shoes I ordered and received are a 41, that's the size I always wear in Euro sizing. I wish that when shoes are stamped with Euro sizing, they would simply list them with that sizing to avoid confusion. Online retailers very often mistake a size 40 for a size 10, but it's really more like a 9.5. Anyway, all that to say that the shoes don't actually run small, the sizing is just misrepresented.I love them. They are comfortable straight out of the box, cute AF and not very loud because of the thick rubber on the soles. So happy with the purchase, will be wearing them like crazy.

This is my 6th pair of these. Dress em up, dress em down. I was told years ago how comfy they are, that the wood absorbs all the shock. They weren’t wrong. I have worked 8-10 hour events in these bad boys!
