Customer Reviews Vaneli Laureen

Great shoe when you want a professional look but are on your feet a lot. Love the 2.5 inch heal. Shoe was a little tight through the toes at first. I just wore them with a light sock around the house to stretch them out, and they are fine now. If your feet are wide across the toes or you are between sizes consider going a half size up.

Nothing spectacular, but a nice standard pump that does the job. Comfortable fit; heel height is perfect, though not that big a fan of kitten heels since they get stuck in crevices easily. I own many Vaneli shoes and their size 5 often fit me perfectly.

After ordering multiple pairs of black pumps finally found a one that I can keep. I typically wear 7W and these were the closet I found to perfect. The shoe is slightly longer than I need, but using a tip from another Zappos review I put cotton in the toe and they now work. Heel height is perfect for all day running around, and the slight point keeps them from looking to frumpy. I usually wear Rockport but was having a hard time with fit, 7 way too long down to 6.5 still foot slipping out of shoe when walking. Also 2 pairs rt & lt different sizes. Hoping this will be the new go to brand.

Van Eli fans beware. My closet is filled with Van Eli 4.5 shoes. In these, the 4.5 were huge, heel slipping out. The 4 is a perfect fit but the toe area is a little smushy. I am keeping them in black and navy anyway, because they are a perfect heel and I am assuming they will stretch a drop. Same great quality.

These shoes are very comfortable. I bought my true size but in wide to give room for my toes. However, the suede quality is inferior and unlike the picture. They are not worth this price. If I did not wear them I would have returned them.

Cute enough though the top of the shoe came up a bit high. Somehow it looked a little matronly at times. Just didn't love enough to keep at this price. I am either a 7.5 or 8 and the 7.5 fit a bit better but I have a very narrow foot and sometimes find going a tad smaller helps. Ordered these in narrow. Width was ok. Heel still a tad wide but better than many I've tried.

I had submitted an earlier review about these shoes and stated that even going up to an eight wide ( I wear between a seven to eight depending on the brand) they were too narrow. I can't return them because I took them to my 'shoe guy' who stretched them as much as he could. They are still too tight in the toe box and my heel slips out of the back. . I am upset that I wasted so much money but this is one reason for writing this updated review. The shoe is beautiful, but runs extremely narrow. I hope this helps others.

I usually wear a size 7 to 8 wide, depending on the brand. I wound up with the 8 wide. Alas; it still is too narrow in the toe box; but if I go up a size, then my heel would come out of the shoe. I have taken these to my shoe guy in hopes that he can stretch out the toe box.

Though these shoes are comfortable, the black patent leather looks cheap. For the price, you are better off with Corso Comos, though they do not come in a lower heel. I usually take a 9 or 9½ and have slightly wide feet but narrow heels. I ordered these in 9W and the size was good - comfortable with the addition of a heel cup. Unfortunately the patent leather was not nice quality and they have to go back.

The shoe fit in length but I found the heel to be very wobbly and unsupportive. I also felt that my toes were squished in these shoes due to the style. Cute shoes but not for unfortunately not ones that I could wear and keep.
