Customer Reviews J. Renee Bambalina

The fit was ok, the width just wasn't right for my feet. Was wide enough but I think toe box maybe should be higher too. I really loved those shoes, but for me wasn't worth the price of them to squish my feet all up.

It is an attractive shoe, but the leather/material was not very forgiving, and stiff, not allowing for any comfort to the wearer - and with feet that are bigger, and the idea that they will swell during the day, unfortunately the width was not enough to accomodate the feet.

It is definitely not a comfortable shoe. I ordered a wide, and it was really tight and short. Feels plastic. Not leather.

A bit narrow across the toe box but true to width everywhere else. Heel cup too wide for my narrow heal and kept slipping off. Ordered a half size up and was a bit short. Runs 1/2 to 1 full size up.

I do not recommend this shoe. the arch area has weak structure. I had to insert mini arch supports to make the shoe more firmly upright. I was disappointed.

I can’t find the proper fitting size in this shoe and I am very frustrated. I love the look of the shoe and really want it to work. I usually wear an 8 or 8W. Both the 8 and 8W were too small. I tried an 8.5 and it fell off my foot. Don’t know if hat to do!

Material felt good, but shoe was tight across toe and too wide in heel.

These shoes felt and looked at least a size too big. I felt like a child wearing my mother’s shoes playing dress-up. My feet just flopped out of them with every step. On close-up inspection, they looked cheap and felt like plastic, although, when on the foot, didn’t look so bad. I am returning them because of both the fit and the look.

ordered 1/2 size larger than I usually wear and in the wide. The toe box was so narrow I can't even put the shoe on. Too bad as they are pretty. Going back

The shoe is beautiful and very well made. It matches my dress perfectly, unfortunately they are not comfortable. The front of the shoe is narrow and not very flexible.

Actually these shoes may have been a 9.5 or a 10 instead of a 9. Wider than expected so my foot slipped down and 1/2- 3/4" gap at the heel. I need an 8?Unfortunately this pair had no size markings and were not in the original J. Renee box (due to damaged box on the note).

I wear a 9 W. Since this was a dress shoe, I ordered at 9.5. It was way too big.

Too tight in the toe box...heel height good though.

This shoe was odd. I'm a true 8.5 D size foot. The length of the shoe was too long. Felt it was easily a size 9 or 9.5. Based on reviews, got the WW (extra wide), width. Still not even remotely wide enough for my foot. The color and styling of the shoe was attractive but the fit was so odd in both length and width that there is no way I could have made it work.

The shoe is pretty but I thought it had a pointier toe (from the pictures) I like a dress shoe with a pointy toe, not a rounded toe. Other than that, they're pretty.

I love the look, but it was too narrow. And, the material in the toe box was not comfortable for my feet.

Very pretty shoe but very tight. Got half size bigger than usual and it's very narrow.

I am really disappointed. I love the look of the shoe but it is 1/2 size too small. I always wear 8 1/2 but not in this shoe. For this shoe I need a 9 but it is OUT OF STOCK in my color (white). I put in a request to notify me when it is back in stock but who knows if it will be re-stocked. Some of the reviews said it is too small. I guess I should have listened.

I loved the shoe and had hoped it would fit. It was a bit to small across the front and the toe "too pointy". The show was extremely well made and I would recommend it to a women with a narrower foot. I

Reading the reviews I knew to select the wide, not my normal meduim. The shoes fit well and are really pretty. The sparkle is very appealing, but not appropriate for my office - perfect for a night out though

I wear a 7 1/2 A (narrow). This shoe had some slippage in the heel but it wasn't as wide as some of the other narrow shoes I purchased. Across the front of the shoe, it was too tight. I would have kept these if the tightness in the front wouldn't have been a problem. I wish there were "combination" shoes where the heel is narrow but the front of the shoe is a B width.

Based on other reviews and the fact that it is a closed toe shoe, I purchased the shoe larger and wider than normal hoping it would accommodate my wide, problem feet. The shoe was very stiff and too big so it was hard to judge if I would have liked it if it fit. I doubt it would have worked with my arthritis bump on the top of my feet at the big toe joint. Unfortunately these didn't work for me but not because it isn't a great shoe, it is my difficult feet.

Beautiful shoe, but too wide in the heel causing the shoe to slip off when walking. However, the front was too tight. I normally wear a 7N but ordered the 7.5N. I wish narrow shoes would be narrow in the heel only.

A very beautiful shoe with an attractive heel. However, it was a very tight and narrow fit...Does not feel like a medium width. Toes scrunched up in point - not comfortable at all. I think for a narrow pointed toe, a half size larger may be the solution.

Pretty shoe that is no where near the size or width it stated. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 at the mostwith a medium width. Can't even get my foot into the 8! Man made material makes the shoe very stiff and 'unforgiving'. Going back.......!
