Reviews
"The quality of the shoe is spectacular. The nubuck leather is incredibly soft and thr comfort of the show is what you’d expect from and item at this price point. This is my first purchase from Sans Marin but it definitely wont be my last. I’m very impressed. I am currently building a wardrobe investment items to last me many years and this particular purchase has not disappointed. After receiving the trainers, I’ve just bought their leather care items to prolong the life and beauty of my shoes."
Stylish show for those "elevated" casual times
"Very cute, comfortable shoe that goes well with every outfit. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that runs slightly large."
Love these beautiful shoes
"There are so many things I love about these shoes! They are beautiful, the taupe color coordinates with so many neutrals in my wardrobe. I am taking them on a trip to the tennis tournament in Indian Wells, and they go with everything I am taking from whites to taupes. I usually wear a US size 8. 5 and the size 39 size fit just perfect. The materials are very good quality, and they look quite polished for a sneaker. Love them!"
"Beautiful shoe. Great fit and comfort."
Gaia platform trainers
"it is hard to find stylish and comfortable trainers for a wider foot but these tick all the boxes!! They are sooo comfortable. My second pair, bought sky blue in summer and now taupe. Some darker colours would be great as well in this style…maybe a camel or brown"
Love Them!!!!!
"I have purchased these in white and black. . . now my 3rd pair! All are amazing and soooo comfortable! Absolutely love them!!!!"
So Comfortable - Worth EVERY Penny
"I have been looking for stylish platform sneakers but most say they are “hard to break in” These are amazingly comfortable and I get so many compliments on them. Definitely recommend spraying with suede protector - to keep them in good shape (i already had a “kit” from my uggs. Ive already purchased my 2nd pair - the blue ones. !! Wish they came in Pink :)"
Like walking on a cloud!
"Superb quality as you’d expect at this price point. So comfy! Delivery slow. Also as hand made there can be variation in width from left to right. Looking forward to trying a size up :)"
Perfect!
"I love the Mrs A - look gorgeous and are so comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and these are the most comfortable shoes I’ve found."
