Words from the Workshop

“The Granada is one of my favorite Adelante styles to craft for its elegance and simplicity, so it’s fun to introduce a complementary sister style to our repertoire. The Carmen is like the Granada with a unique twist. The two booties go hand in hand; one a classic, the other a classic with attitude.”

They're amazing!

I bought these because the size could be customized to fit my orthotics - finding 11W booties is basically impossible!

I'm so impressed. I've been wearing them daily (inside, it's winter and snowing out) for a few months, and they look brand new and I've never had a single blister. They're comfortable, the leather is GREAT quality, and the size is perfect. Highly recommended!

Very impressive quality

I bought these for my wife because I’m a leather snob and it’s hard to find high quality welts on women’s shoes. She absolutely loves them, said they are super comfortable, and they look great. Couldn’t be happier with the quality.

This is my fifth purchase from this company. This is the fourth pair for my wife and I slipped in one for me last time. High-quality handmade, brilliant. I spend 500 to 700 for similar quality at the designer stores on Newberry Street. Plus I love the story. Living wage for employees, equal rights and in betterment. This is a company I want to support.

Beautifully made but the fit is strange

3 stars for excellent craftsmanship and customer service.

I used Adelantes sizing tool which placed me at Left 8EEE and Right 6EEE. When they arrived, the left was far too large and the right far too small.

I was able to exchange for free for a pair of 7EEEs. When they arrived, they were too short in the toe and too long in the heel. They are honestly quite uncomfortable out of the box though they do seem to be excellently crafted. They're bearable with the right insoles and heel inserts, but for nearly $300US I wish I didn't have to modify them so much. Perhaps they will break in a bit, but doesn't change the extra length in the heel or very hard built in insoles.
