Customer Reviews Trotters Harlowe

I love the look of the shoe but I needed a more rounded toe box than this shoe. I chose to return them.

I ordered the pink leather, a departure from my usual basic black and conservative colors of shoes. At this price, I thought I'd take a chance, plus I had tried Trotters shoes in the past and was surprised at how comfortable they felt. The inside of these shoes have a bit of pillowy puff to them, so they feel pretty good going on. I was worried they would look like slippers, but they are pretty cute looking. One thing I noticed right away is that when I walk in these, there's a kind of odd whoopie cushion thing that happens with the air moving into and out of the shoe. The front/top of the shoe is where I am feeling the farting. It's not terribly loud, but I think it might drive me mad if I had to notice the sound and feeling on my feet with every step. I'm not very tolerant of normal flip flop sounds or that lazy shoe shuffling sound that some folks do either, so your tolerance may be higher than mine for this. I can be a bit neurotic about things like this. If you're like me, though, try a different design. Another problem I have with these, unfortunately, is the back of the shoe seems to irritate the back of my foot, even after just having them on for a few minutes to see how they feel on the carpet. I'm not sure if they're just still stiff or if the height is hitting a certain, weird spot on my particular feet, but with all the trouble I have had with shoes in the past, I know cannot take the risk. Sorry, pinkies, but you will be going back to find a different owner.

This is a beautiful shoe but felt a half size too small and narrow even in the ww size I ordered. The leather is like silk and it looks far more expensive than it is. I am reordering a half size bigger in the hope it fits.

Beautiful, classic, stylish flat. Unfortunately for me, the pointy toe presses on my bunions a bit too much, understandable in a shoe of this style. I also tried the size 8 wides, but same thing. I thought I'd give the pointy style a try, but I just can't wear them. Sad because these shoes are really cute!

Beautiful, classic style flat. Unfortunately for me, even the wide width presses on my bunions, which is understandable in a pointy-toed style. I thought I'd give the pointies a try; alas, they did not work for me.

The floral print was beautiful in person, but I could barely get these on my feet.

I ordered and received the floral multi print of this shoe. In the photo, it looks white with a muted floral print. When I received them, they are much darker than the photo, almost blue. Sadly, I had to return them.

It's definitely cute, but doesn't size up (out) well. I think that pointy-toed styles are hard to pull off in wide-width shoes generally, and this one definitely falls into that category. Because the center 'tongue' doesn't expand along with the rest of the shoe width, the proportions are off when you get a wide size, and it looks ungainly and lopsided. (I'm returning a EE, but I think it'd likely be a problem with the E width as well.) Overall, though, it's definitely a well-made, cute shoe. I just wish that they'd kept the overall styling of the shoe intact as they expanded the width.

Love these shoes, but they photographed much lighter than they are. They're a dark navy.

Toe is a little pointy for my feet. Ordered my size and think 1/2 size up might have worked but far too tight. Will consider reordering.

These were a full size too long. I don't like the looks of this pair well enough to try a different size.

Not true to size. The shoe is not narrow enuf

These are elegant shoes, but seem to run quite small. I am re-ordering in a half size larger and hope that will be enough. It is hard to find an elegant pointed toe flat these days because the rounded toe "ballerina" style is all the rage (not for me though.) These are very lovely and once I get the right fit, I know that will be very comfortable. Extremely good construction and quality.

I tried a second time with these in a M instead of W but they still seemed like an unconvincing fit. I just think the design is weak. I sent them back. Also, the blue was quite a bit darker than it appeared in the photos.

Love these shoes for many reasons: lovely leather, well constructed, dreamy insole. Unfortunately I am returning them as they gape on the sides of my feet and I am concerned that would just get worse if they stretch out more with wear.

I ordered a wide based on my prior experience with Trotters, but these looked too wide - I am thinking about trying the regular width. But I wanted more of a gracefully long and pointed look (I am a size 12, so I can't believe I just said that...) and I didn't get that from these shoes. Not enough of a loafer, and not enough of a regular pointed flat. I returned them.

Loved the shoe but found it ran a little short maybe because of the pointed toe.

Comfortable foot bed. Rubbed my heel a little on the first wear.

Beautiful shoe, but because of pointed toe and stiff material, normal size is too tight across the toes.

Disappointingly, these shoes run very small. I wish I could just exchange them for two sizes larger, but because I wear a 12 I have no option but to return them. Too bad, they're really cute!

While these fit perfectly, and I have received compliments on the look... after being in them and standing for 8 hours a day, they are extremely uncomfortable. My heels feel on fire and I need to soak them to try to alleviate pain.

This felt tight in the toe box compared to other pointed toe flats I have from Trotters. Loved the look, and everywhere else fit like as expected for wide width.

Liked the shoes a lot but they gaped in the middle. I ordered them medium width which is usually fine for me but I didn't like how they gaped open when I walked. I would try ordering a narrow but I think the toe box will then be too small. Otherwise a nice shoe.

This shoe is a nice style and the fit felt correct, but the pointy toe left my own toes feeling a bit too cramped. I was a bit disappointed at how my shoes arrived. I ordered two pair of shoes, and the Trotters arrived inside the Zappos box without a lid to the shoe box, and the shoes have many marks on them that look like scuffs. I will be returning them.

I am so bummed that I can't get these shoes to fit! They are super cute, great color, wonderful material and style! But the 8 is very tight and the 8.5 is VERY large. Sadly, I have to return both sizes and move on.
