"Love them! Very comfortable and great fit. Work perfectly with long linen pants or skirts."
"I absolutely love these shoes. They were so cushiony, stylish and held up wonderful for a full 3 days at the Masters. I was amazed at how much walking I did and my feet never ached or got tired. These will be my go-to for travel! Loved them!"
"I’m a 7. 5, and was swimming in the 38. Had my sister try them on as an 8 and her heel also slips in the back. Would not argue these are true to size or err on sizing up like it recommends, just ordered the 37 and hope it will fit."
"Having been eyeing these up for some time and my only regret is I didnt buy them sooner - great product. Beautifully made, great fit - size 4 is a real size 4 and packaging was elegant and recyclable Would highly recommend"
"These are by far the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned! Will definitely buy again!!"
"High quality leather trainers with an understated vibe. Extremely comfortable too. Fast delivery."
"Returned a pair of trainers for a smaller size, the service of returning and exchanging was outstanding, very happy with my purchase"
"This is my third pair and they really feel like walking on air!"
"Look great, feel great. I have chronic issues with my achilles following surgical repair. I was told never to wear flat shoes again. These are so comfortable and feel great to walk in. No more discomfort ❤️ I will purchase again."
"Very happy with my awesome shoes!"
