"I am extremely unhappy right now. I now own a pair of shoes that I cannot wear as they do not fit and your return policy, or I should say lack of return policy has left me owning a pair of shoes which I cannot wear. Furthermore, I have repeatedly tried to reach out to your customer service about this and they will not respond."

"Have not received"
The heel is too heavy
"The heel is too heavy for the shoe. You have to get a half size too small so that it will not flop off the back of your foot"
Beautifully crafted and the company
"Beautifully crafted and the company is wonderful to work with !"
"GORGEOUS!!!"
So happy! Finally a pair that fits perfectly!
"I have tiny medium-width size 5 feet but also have serious bunions on top of that. After to-ing and fro-ing with their amazing customer service and also heading to their Union Square holiday market space to get fitted, we finally found the perfect size to my bunion-deformed feet (5B but with a D-sized toe box). Mind you, this was before they implemented their new sizing guide online so I'm sure finding out your sizing is much more streamlined. I'm getting more pairs and this is my number one go-to spot from now on. I'm beyond pleased!"
"Beautiful shoe. Too wide. Ordered a narrow I walk right out of them. Must return"
Love my loafers
"Very cute shoes, I am a loafer fan and these are a bit stiff but very well made!"
AMAZINGLY SOFT
"After owning several pairs of handmade leather shoes (from other companies), this one is so hard to beat. You don’t really need to “break them in” since they feel as soft as tennis shoes as soon as you try them on! Plus, I love the unique denim color they have :)"
Amazing and stylish
"These shoes are so well made. I have looked and looked for this exact style and fit and could not find it elsewhere. They break in and form to your foot so nicely. The leather is amazing. I get compliments all of the time. I’ll be buying them in another color! True to size. Slightly stiff at first but the great quality leather breaks in, in no time!!!"
