Customer Reviews Nisolo Emma d'Orsay Oxford

Narrow toe box

I purchased these oxfords back in November. The first day I wore them, I made the mistake of wearing them all day for 12+ hours. My feet felt swollen and they killed the back of my heels and rubbed on my toes. After my feet recovered, I gave it a second try and only wore them inside my office (where I mostly sit). After another short period of wearing it, I was able to finally break them in and they are extremely comfortable now. I walked all day around Nashville with these on. So if you're feeling like they are hurting at first, be patient, and give it time to break into the leather and mold to your feet.

I have been wearing these shoes almost daily for weeks, and adore them. The leather is amazing, forgiving, and quickly molding to my feet. The only thing that brings these down from a 5 star is the inner lining -- which on day two started coming up as I walked. It's a minor annoyance and I plan to take them to a cobbler to be glued/secured, but it's the only dim point in otherwise rockstar, classy, and comfortable shoes that I can wear with just about anything. Finicky issue aside, I would still buy these again!

Love this shoe, it is my go to at work. The style is modern, yet classic. Fit is a little snug yet, but I think I just need to break them in a bit more.

They are beautiful and I can tell they are well made too! But I had to return them, too narrow for my type of feet. Please, make them in a wider version too.

I LOVE these shoes. Theyre not the most comfortable though. I know theyre not walking shoes by any means, but I tried my best to get the right size and theyre still just a little too tight even after getting them professionally stretched. But if they were any larger theyd slip off the back, because I have narrow feet. So, the sizing is difficult. But I think they are made amazingly well. High quality shoes. Beautiful craftsmanship. I adore them.

I always get compliments on these shoes and I love them, but one of the shoes fits great and the other slips off the head a lot. I have to buy inserts and those arent as comfortable as just wearing the normal shoe. I dont have this problem with other shoes, so I was a bit bummed by this! Makes wearing them a bit of a hassle :/ but I still love and wear them. Took a couple days to break in but now they are more comfortable. I would recommend these! I hope they dont give everyone the same sizing problem.

Very soft straight from the box. I ordered 1/2 size up due to reviews saying they run narrower and Im glad I did. They felt broken in after the first wear. Only downside is that the leather is so soft that the leather is showing marks and scratches after minimal gentle wear. Im afraid that they will look worn quickly. Other shoes of similar price range seem to hold up better. Overall a nice shoe and a nice introduction for me to the brand.

These shoes look and feel solid and well-made. The leather is matte but almost 'polished' in its clean look, and the stitching, sole, and heel stack feel substantial. I found the heel cup to dig into my upper achilles area, but I frequently have this same problem with other shoes; it may be that I have a particularly short heel bone or soft achilles area. I added some small drugstore pads to raise my heel and soften the back of the cup area, and the problem was solved. I'm usually a true 8 (although I have a pair of Wolverine 1000 Miles that I wear 7.5 in), and these feel true to size, a bit snug now with my heel pads. Lots of compliments, and I feel cool but comfortable wearing these - no regrets!

Ordered these in my true size and wasnt disappointed. They are lovely and very comfortable once theyve been broken in. It takes a bit, as all leather shoes do, but the end result is perfect.

I have sensitive feet and i almost never find a pair of shoes that dont give me blisters right away. I hope these break in soon because theyre beautiful! But the heal is tight and rubbing.

My favorite pair of shoes are Nisolo but they are still horribly uncomfortable after a year with conditioning and stretching. Ive bought a few more pairs and their sizing never works right and I hate returning things, especially beautiful shoes! I often purchase 7.5, my regular size and 8. As beautiful as these were- no size fit my feet correctly.

Love the style, love the quality, I just wish they were a little more comfortable. I have pretty narrow feet, and yet my toes are still pinched in these shoes.

beautiful shoes, but not true to size.

Really lovely shoe- I got multiple compliments on them the first day I wore them. That's a big deal considering I work in women's shoes at a well-known department store, where everyone is surrounded by gorgeous shoes. However, they are quite painful to break in, sadly. I wore them with cotton socks for the first day, and my right ankle bled through my sock. I tried again a week after without socks, and again my ankle bled to the extent that a co-worker kindly handed me bandaids and neosporin. A bit embarrassing! The left ankle fared far better; however, after prolonged wearing, the top of my foot became irritated by the shoe's inside stitching rubbing against my foot. It didn't cause my foot to bleed, but the skin was red and somewhat in pain. Hopefully next time the shoes won't hurt as much. Overall, even though these shoes have been so painful to break in, I would still recommend them. They are truly unique, beautiful, and of high craftsmanship.

I really enjoy wearing my pair. Got them in beige. At first, I got blisters (at the toe box and the heel) from these babies even after wearing them inside with socks for a few days. I have a wide feet so this was a concern and it seemed to flop a bit on one foot. But it seems to be getting better with time. And if they flop a little, I don't mind as long as I don't bleed or blister. Got a few compliments on these so far which is always nice. Love how these elevate my outfit!

These shows are stunning -- my only complaint is that they seem to run a little small, and they're difficult to stretch because of the design. So it's taking a bit longer to get them into my normal rotation, but I'm happy to do the extra footwork. :)

easy comfort and stylish to wear

Love the look, feel a little loose.
