Customer Reviews Lucky Brand Emmie

The shoes are super cute. They go with so many outfits, however, they are not comfortable. I have other ballet flats that I can wear for hours, however, I find myself wanting to slip them off soon after I have been walking a bit.

Wish they made these better. I liked the design/color, but there was no ventilation at all for my feet. Bought them 3 months ago and wore them a couple times a week just to work, and the sole is already coming off. Poor quality, even for the price.

I purchased these for going on a trip in black and gold. I bought wide to accommodate problematic feet. They packed easily, and are light weight. They are very basic. They served the purpose. I would not recommend them for a lot of walking.

I got this in size 7/black. It fits pretty well. They are solid black flats but I did not like how the toe area looks when I walk.

Cut very small. Usually wear a 6.5, went up to a size 7 for the leather style, which fits great. These are really short in length for a 7.

I want to love these shoes. I am a size 10½, but in flats generally have to go with 11. I ordered an size 11 in these and they are too small! I wore them and hoped that they would stretch since they are leather and elastic, but they did not. I never have problems with shoes causing pain, but these definitely rubbed on my heel. The light cushion on the sole made these better than average for flats.

The 8.5 was too small (the shoe fit but the band was uncomfortable), and the 9 was too large. I'm disappointed because these are really cute flats! Will need to return.

I got this shoe in my usual size but I should have sized up because it seems to run small. I got the grout color which looks like a nice neutral, but the more I look at it, it has a dingy gray overtone that makes it look dirty. I have the hardest time finding ballet shoes that fit well, and these were not them either.

These shoes arrived quickly in great condition, but the color was more of a gold shade and I needed a silver or cream hue. They were also very wide and had gaps in the side around my foot. I sent them back.

These shoes are just plain hot, and they do not admit of wearing liners to make them more breathable due to the way they grip your heel at the back - they either yank them off or pinch them into your heel. I thought maybe breaking them in would help, but they are worn enough now to look pretty shabby, and they are still suffocating. Moreover the shabbiness happened pretty fast in the otherwise lovely and versatile medium brown color - I have narrow heels with medium width feet otherwise, so I am hardly a wide width, but the leather along the sides frequently comes into contact with the ground, gathering dirt and staining the leather quickly.

These flats are like most flats in that they have virtually no arch support. They felt like they fit true to size. They looked very cute, but I had to return them because the backs were too snug and rubbed against my heels in a painful way. Also the shade called "Grout" was a little darker tan than I thought they would be. Might just be my monitor.

I'm not sure if the pair I received is considered to be defective, but the left shoe's heel area is very tight and will not stretch out. I've tried to hand stretch it and also wear it with thick socks, but it doesn't give at all and only digs into the back of my ankle and causes pain and blisters. The right shoe is just fine -- and I never have any lopsided issues with shoes, so I'm pretty sure my feet are not the issue here. What can I do with these now?

I really, really wanted to like these shoes as they are the rare flats that are relatively simple, attractive and available in my size (I wear a women's 12). However, after wearing them for multiple days I am forced to admit that they are beyond uncomfortable. The entire shoe is made of synthetic leather, including the footbed, which means that they don't breathe at all and are very hot. Perhaps other people wouldn't have this issue, but wearing them without some sort of socks or tights isn't an option. Additionally, the elastic that runs around the heel makes them very tight and after about an hour I found myself slipping my heel out of the shoes every chance I got. I have no clue what I will do with them now - if I could take the elastic out I might be able to wear them with tights but if that isn't possible, I will probably just donate them. Really disappointed.

I have this shoe in other multiple colors. Love it. However, the NATURAL/PLAT color is NOT a plain color like shown in the picture, it has gold sparkles on it. It shows NONE of that in the picture or description. I was very disappointed. Very unhappy, sending it back.

I wanted something I could wear walking in Paris. However, they SQUEAK! I am so disappointed. I am returning them.

This is a very cute shoe, but not comfortable at all. The sole is very thin. It also did not last long. I've had the shoe for a couple of years and wear them maybe twice a month on average. If you roll your foot at all when you step, this shoe will wear on one side or the other fairly quickly. I tend to strike on the outside of my heel, and the shoe looks horrible there now. They just seemed to wear out quickly which I would not expect from the brand and at this price. They are just "ok" in my opinion.

I have this shoe but in another color. They are fine. They are comfortable and true to size. This color was a bit unremarkable so I sent it back.

These shoes run on the small side, I had to go a size up, especially if you want to put shoe petals in to go barefoot. I love the pattern, and even the material (which others complained about being fake leather)...very cute overall. With that being said, I do not find them comfortable for average width feet, probably people with more narrow feet would be more comfortable. I do like them for the style and wear them often.

I don't care for toe cleavage so these are getting returned. That said, I expected a bit nicer quality for the price but the fabric used on the Luxe Leopard is weird and crumply. Also, the elastic is tight & not comfortable on my foot.

Cute shoe, but no tread on the bottom and runs a little small. I still love these shoes and I'd consider buying them in other colors, but I'd size up next time since these fit my feet a tad too snug. Also, I wore them once to a business dinner when it had just rained and learned the hard way that there is NO tread whatsoever on the bottom. I totally slipped on the stairs outside the restaurant and fell in front of all my colleagues! Maybe it's a testament to the shoe's cuteness that I didn't throw them out that night.

This is a cute shoe but felt at least a full size larger than marked. At first this was hard to notice -- I loved it until I wore the shoe in and my feet started slipping around inside these shoes. As others have written for the Emmie 2, the little rubber heel sits way too far back on the foot so it is extremely uncomfortable if you're on your feel for any period of time.

I didn't think these were worth the money. They aren't nearly as comfortable as some of the Born flats. I returned these the next day.

I really wanted to love this shoe! It's super cute - exactly what I wanted! But zero arch support, I could tell just trying them on that my feet and back would pay the price if I wore them for over an hour. Had to send them back.

I have gone through 2 pairs of these flats and I have so many mixed feelings. Out of the box, they fit well as they hug your feet and the elastic makes them comfortable. However, the sole is quite thin and flexible so you can feel the surfaces you walk on (ie. if there are rocks or sharp, pointy things). I have also found that they do not last me more than about 3 months, which is problematic since they are not cheap. For now, I will search for another pair of flats but if you are looking for fun, comfortable flats for just a few months, these are the flats for you.

Really wanted to like these flats. But they weren't as comfortable (Born shoes have spoiled me) and, as other customers have mentioned, your feet do start to sweat in them after only a little while. And I was just wearing them around in my home for about 20 min. Returning these shoes and going back to Born shoes!
