Considering how much I paid for these shoes, I expected much better quality. I ordered my usual 7N, but it ran a bit long in the heel, so I exchanged them for a 6.5N. It felt a bit snug, but I loved the look of the flat and crossed my fingers that they would stretch a bit over time. After only two weeks of wear, however, the thin leather covering at the toe of one shoe split (!), revealing a felt-covered cardboard material underneath. If this were a less expensive pair of shoes, perhaps I'd be more forgiving. But for the price, these aren't well made.

Two stars because the shoes SQUEAK. These $100+ pretty, classic leather flats squeak. Not one shoe, but both shoes. Talcum powder in the heels...then in the toes...muffled the noise, so I wore them to run errands/lunch/dr appts, By the time I got home, most of the powder was in various spots on my pants' legs and the squeak(s) were back with a vengeance. I am so very disappointed because I really wanted to love them. I really needed to love them, because finding shoes to fit my essentially triangular feet is proving to be difficult and I'm too hip to through in the towel and surrender to a life in SAS. Maybe someday, but not yet. Back they go.

This flat is exactly what I was looking for. I love pointy toes shoes but often find they are too tight in my normal size 7. These fit perfect in a 7 wide. The toe area of the insole is sueded which I find increases the comfort. The color is as described. There is light padding but otherwise no arch support typical of this type of flat. I wore them comfortably out of the box for a limited time and they were fine but may not be supportive enough for all day walking.

beautiful, quality made shoe that is a classic. If you are narrower through the heel you will need to go with a narrow width in this shoe. I have never been a narrow width in any other shoe but in this shoe I am narrow. I have a regular, medium width through the foot but my heel is narrow in the back. The 8N fits perfectly. The 8M was too roomy through the foot and also in the back of the heel.

The name belies the reality. Slipped one on and right away knew I could never win a battle with these shoes. The leather is stiff and mean and looking to make blisters on the backs of my heels and dig into my big toe knuckle. They are cute, but they also have to be comfortable.
