Customer Reviews Trotters Harlowe

I was surprised when I received these because the color and material didn't look like what I ordered. I ordered a checked black/gray pattern that is not even listed as an available color option anymore. I was hoping it would be cloth kind of like those Rothy shoes I see ads for all over instagram and facebook, and that's what the pictures online looked like, but instead they were this shiny plastic material. The material makes them look really cheap. My friends agree -- they said they looked like $20 Payless shoes but I paid $100....so that's a bummer. They're wide enough, but after a day of being moderately active at work, they were pinching my toes big time. I didn't get blisters or anything, but definitely didn't want to wear them again the next day (needed a day or two to recover!) I'm sure I'll break them in and they'll be better but I was expecting more from a known brand that was so expensive!

The fit was true to size and very comfortable. The sides gap when walking, and out of the box they look worn. I anticipate they will look very shabby after only wearing a few times. Hence they are going back.

Purchased the same shoe in Nude that fit perfectly, but the Black Soft Lizard Embossed Patent Suede was about 1/2 size too small. So disappointing.

The problem for me is that the sides gapped. I have wide feet at the toe box and as these shoes were wide all over -- perhaps excessively so at the sides, they weren't right for me.

I loved the look of the black lizard shoe. I take a 12W. Unfortunately it has a very pointed toe that makes it look stylish and my middle toe is too long to fit comfortably in the shoe. Going up a half size is not possible. Too bad :(

These shoes are so narrow. I’m well aware that I don’t have narrow feet but I can wear non-wide specific shoes. I could barely get my feet in these!

Wow! Ran very large.

Too narrow in the toe box, though perfect in the heel. Precious little arch support.

Attractive shoe but they rub the back of my ankles (with trouser socks on) and the pointed toe does not leave enough room for my toes without squishing them!

Wanted blue shoes, Old lady-ish, and although double wide, the shape was too narrow, just on the right big toe.

This shoe is too pointed for me to wear. Toe is very narrow and my foot isn't

So sad these didn’t fit! They ran oddly small, any bigger and they would be too wide. Have to return.

Fine

This shoe looks sleek and stylish, but it just didn't fit my feet very well. I got the wide width, and it almost felt a little too wide yet my toes felt rather squished by the pointy toe of the shoe. Pointed toe shoes usually are fine for me, so I don't know why these weren't comfortable. They also gapped a lot around my foot as I walked, and felt like they would fall off once they broke in. This may be a case of wrong size/width, but I just can't bring myself to order 5 pairs of shoes to find one that fits, even with free shipping! These are going back.

Oh this shoe. So pretty right out of the box in the tan color. Very nice looking for work. However, I put it on and I could tell that the upper wasn't as giving/forgiving as I had hoped. It's a tight shoe for a narrow foot. I have medium width feet but the pointy toe box was crunching my poor piggies. It has a moderate amount of cushion in the foot bed, so if you have a slim foot and want to look snazzy in the office. These should be good for you.

Love these shoes- stylish and comfortable for my wide feet. Only 3 stars because they did not wear well- the leather is super soft and has numerous tears after only 1 season of wear.

I love these shoes, but they gap on both sides when I walk. I ordered a wide, like I normally do, and they did fit across the widest part of my feet, but in the middle section of each shoe, they were just too wide.

Was really disappointed with these considering the price. Regular width tends to be too narrow for me while wide-width is usually way too wide. I got these is wide-with and they feel like I ordered narrow. Super tight and even after wearing many times at work (hoping they’d widen) they are still too tight. Also, the sole and heel are very thin which makes me feel like they wouldn’t last long even if they did fit. Will never buy this brand again.

I was so disappointed in the discomfort of these shoes as they are super pretty and stylish. However, I didn’t even take a single step in them. The heal was the most uncomfortable part where they hurt the moment I put them on. I considered buying heal pads but the rest of the leather shoe was so stiff I would imagine they would have been too uncomfortable for my short walk to work even. Returning.

I've been looking for a good flat to kick around in for awhile now, and these are...just OK. I am a solid size 10.5, but with these had to go up to an 11. Even with that the toe box area is tight and uncomfortable, yet the sides bow out and make your foot look wider. Perhaps if I'd bought an 11 N it would look better. Have worn about 6 times, and am still trying to break in the toe area which isn't super comfortable. I'm still on the lookout for that perfect flat.

I really wanted to love these shoes. They were just what I was looking for. However the fit was off for my foot. The wide width fit comfortably in the toe box, but was too wide mid-foot, causing visible gapping. Will try more Trotters, they seem very well made.

I ordered these shoes in Monet which look fantastic with pants/slacks. Pattern and color is great. I have a narrow foot and ordered 71/2 N. These shoes felt fine initially in cooler weather however as weather warmed I now find this size too snug to wear comfortably. Whilst I like Trotters shoes generally, this is a problem I have experienced with Trotters - length sizing is a bit hit and miss. Would have returned had I not lived in Australia. Would recommend ordering a size up however I have several Trotters styles in different colors and find that the sizing can vary within the same style and different color.

Nope. I ordered two pairs of these and would return both if the dog hadn't chewed one before I could wear it. Wanted a basic flat...there's something just dowdy about these...hard to pin down. They are a little wide which makes them look sort of chubby rather than sleek and professional. I have narrow feet but these look plump on me.

This is the first shoe I've ever run into that is too wide! The notch detail on the shoe also causes (I think) the sides to gape horribly on this shoe. Definitely not the sleek look you hope for with a pointed flat. That said, materials seemed good quality.
