Customer Reviews Chinese Laundry Baldwin

Love the shoes, love the Zappos! I ordered these lovelies for my upcoming wedding (yes indeed it is a popular wedding shoe). I loved the no shipping no tax, the price you see is the price you get charged, so straight off the bat, points for Zappos. The shoe came very quickly in the mail and I was delighted to try them on, only to find they were half a size too small... I checked the site and saw there was only one shoe left in stock that was half a size up in the color I wanted. Soo in a bit of a panic I called them to see if they could reserve/hold the shoe for me. To my great delight Zappos said "No problem we'll just send that shoe out right away to you" and this was even before I sent back the existing one. They didn't even charge my card again, now that's GREAT customer service!! I am most definitely a loyal fan now and not so afraid to online shoe shop. :-)

Third Pair! I bought these shoes in taupe and silver and got many compliments on them. They are very flattering to your legs and feet. My favorite thing about them is they look very high but the platform actually makes them very comfortable. When I wanted new black shoes, even though Zappos has trillions of choices, I chose the same style again and I don't regret it. I did have the rhinestone buckles replaced so I could wear them less formally. They look fabulous with jeans. Love Zappos.

Very nice wedding shoe! If you're goal's to add a lot of extra height on the big day (or to an important, elegant event), these accomplish that. They'll drive up the stakes about 5 inches, and certainly look glamorous from the front. I'd prefer these with a wedding gown or pant suit with flowing material, however, as the bulk of the "hidden" platform is a bit more noticeable than the product description suggests. Almost looks like you've got a Yellow-Pages book attached to your heel, LOL! Overall, a good shoe at a great value. Those are my two cents.

This shoe is beautiful! Even more so than the picture. It's a high heel but due to the platform it's very comfortable (and great for dancing). I got it for my wedding and am looking forward to dancing the night away. The ankle strap keeps your foot from sliding forward so you won’t get blisters on the front of your foot. The design is very elegant, but simple enough that you could wear it out with a cute outfit to a club. I want to order it in more colors!

Comfortable 4 + inch heel!!! Seriously, if you are looking for a wedding shoe that will be high enough to allow you to avoid costly hemming this is it!!! Don’t worry about the height, the design makes this shoe feel like a 2-3 incher! The satin around the toes is soft and flexible; there is no cutting into the feet at all. My only advice is order you TRUE size. Don’t go up a size in fear of tightness.

Chinese Laundry's Baldwin Shoe In Ivory - I absolutely love these. I just purchased them for my upcoming wedding in May. The heel is 5 inches tall, but the hidden platform makes them extremely comfortable to walk and stand in. I am, however, considering purchasing a foot pad for some extra support and comfort. Also, the ivory color is darker than pictured. They almost have a champagne hue, but other than that, they are great!

Great Bridal Shoe - These shoes are gorgeous and also very comfortable. I can't wait to wear them for my wedding in June. If you do get the ivory though, be prepared, it's a little darker in person than on the picture. But to me it didn't matter.

Great shoes! I love these! They are super comfortable. I ordered a half size bigger as recommended by several others and they fit just fine - although ordering in my usual size would have been a good fit too, I believe. The only down side is I have to put an extra hole in the ankle strap, since it is a little loose. But considering my wide feet, these are a dream to wear, they do not squeeze the top half of my feet like a lot of other shoes. So if you have wide feet, have no fear of these!!

Beautiful Wedding Shoes - I bought these shoes in Ivory for my upcoming wedding in April. They are gorgeous. Despite the 4 inch heel, the platform makes them very comfortable. I know I will be able to wear these shoes all night. I wanted extra height but I didn't want a shoe that I would want to kick off as soon as we get to the reception. I love these shoes and they will look great in photos!!

Great shoe, great price, even better SERVICE! I purchased this shoe well in advance of my wedding coming up next year. (My new last name will be Baldwin, and I HAD TO HAVE THEM!) Within ten minutes of completing my order online with standard shipping, I received an email from the Zappos Customer Care Team letting me know that they had upgraded me to free PRIORITY Shipping. The shoes came in the very next day and I could not possibly be happier with the way they look and feel, they are stunning. Elegant and vampy. I am very comfortable in high heels to begin with, but these are a dream. I know I will be dancing the night away at my wedding in May! (Did I mention that my new last name will be Baldwin? How awesome a coincidence is that?!)Thanks Zappos! You guys are the best, and I am a client for life! Oh, and I go back and forth between a 7.5 and an 8, I ordered the 7.5 and they are perfect. Thanks again!

WooHoo! Mink -- These shoes are so beautiful and SOOOO comfortable! They're unbelievable! I'm not used to wearing high-high heels, and DEFINITELY not used to wearing such strappy little numbers, but somehow these shoes manage to feel secure and great and sturdy and awesome...all while looking totally foxy. If you read the reviews on here, they all say the same thing... So, don't hesitate! Give these shoes a shot -- you won't regret it at all -- you'll have added a wonderful pair of dress shoes (that are insanely wearable) to your shoe collection, and at this price you really can't beat that!!! I highly recommend! PS: I don't really know about arch support as I never have any issues with that in shoes, so I marked these as having "moderate arch support" 'cause it was the option in the middle! :-)

Comfy Wedding Shoe - I ordered these for my wedding. I’m the bride, they match my ivory dress perfectly. They aren’t as white as they look in the picture. All the height with none of the pain, this 5 inch feels like a 2 1/2 inch heel. No wobbly feeling, my only complaint is the lack of bling, the little buckle sparkles but over all the shoe is A++

These are nice looking fashionable boots. They do run a whole size too small. I’m usually a size 8.5 or 9.0. I tried both and they were too small, even in a 9.0 my big toe was rubbing on the front. Also, I have skinny calves, so they’re way too wide… even with my skinny jeans tucked in! That’s why I’m returning these boots. They’re really warm and well made though and Zappos is the best!

Most comfortable Platform in the world! I had to order this shoe in two colors. It is the most comfortable high heel I have ever worn. I usually wear clogs for work so I am not use to wearing any heels! I purchased these for an event where I had to stand and dance for four straight hours!!! I highly recommend this shoe for any event where you need some extra height (did not want to hem my gown) and want comfort. Order 1/2 size bigger for best fit! They do make you 4 1/2 inches taller!

A match made in heaven - I bought these shoes for my wedding! I have been taking dance lessons in them and they are so comfortable!!! The heel on them is over 4 inches high so I was extremely impressed with the comfort I felt. When I called Zappos to place the order I told them these shoes were for my wedding day they instantly upgraded my shipping next day for free. I was extremely impressed with the customer service since the order was placed at 11PM and I received the shoes the next day before 1 pm!!! I will definitely shop here more often!!!

Great Shoe - One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I wore these to a ball and not once did my feet hurt. I would love to own 20 pairs of shoes like this!

A must have! These are the most awesome shoes. Beautiful and comfortable! Love the dazzling detail on the buckle. Will go perfectly with the dress I bought them for and much more.

Best dress shoes I've ever had! These shoes are the most beautiful and comfortable dress shoes I've ever worn! They have a high heel which makes your legs look nice while the platform in the front makes them so comfortable!

These sandals are great and I highly recommend them! I purchased both in black and silver. I would buy them in gold if they had them. I've danced all night wearing these and never once felt any discomfort. Good price, cute and comfy.

Great, Sexy, Beautiful, Comfy Shoe!! I ordered these shoes in Mink for an upcoming wedding and I have been wearing them around the house to break them in. They are super comfortable and the quality is excellent. ZAPPOS shipped them to me right away, even upgraded my shipping free of charge! I was able to get them the day after I ordered them. I can't wait to wear them and feel comfortable and sexy on the dance floor!

Awesome shoes - I went all over the malls looking for ivory shoes for my wedding and couldn't find anything that was in style and had a really high heel since I didn't want to get my dresses cut that much and I went online and saw these and fell in love. Since I have a wide foot I wasn't sure how good these would be but I took a chance and I'm glad I did. They fit nicely and are comfortable enough for me to wear the whole day of my wedding. I wish my bridesmaids would have worn them too but can't ask them to spend too much money if they didn't feel comfortable or didn't like them. But I love them!

I have now purchased the Baldwins in two different colors for my girlfriend...taupe and black. She absolutely loves them better than any other 4 inch heels she has. She says they are so stable and comfortable to walk in.

Great heels! I picked these mainly because of the color options. They came in the perfect shade of coral pink to match a dress I'd bought earlier. Given these are the tallest heels I've ever purchased, they were surprisingly comfortable. I wore them clubbing and they didn't start to bother me until I'd been dancing energetically for 3 hours straight. I got compliments from friends and strangers alike on how cute they were.
