Reviews

Most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn

"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!"

Brooke L. (5/5)

Wayyyy too big!

"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."

A P. (4/5)

brilliant, comfortable and stylish

"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"

Q&A

how thick (in inches) is the platform?
Hi Christine. Thank you for getting in touch, and for your interest in our shoes. The height of our platforms is approximately 1.73 inches, compared to the original height of about 1.06 inches. Best, The Sans Matin Team
I ordered a size 38 and they were big and I exchanged the shoes for a 37. They are tighter so I am wondering if the shoes will stretch out.
Hi Juana, I'm sorry to hear this. As leather is a natural material, they could stretch out but we can't promise they will. It is up to you if you would like to try that or if you would prefer to return. I'm sorry I could not help more. Best, The Sans Matin Team
What is the size of the platform?
Hi Julie, Thank you for reaching out and we hope you are well. The height of our platforms is about 4.4cm compared to the original which is around 2.7cm. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello, sneakers look awesome, is there a store in New York?
Hi Paulette, Thank you for reaching out and we hope you are well. I'm afraid that we do not stock in stores so the only way to try on would be to order them online. We do have a fit guide on our website to help choose your size and if they aren't quite right then we offer easy returns and exchanges. Please let me know if you have any further questions and I hope you have a great day.
What is the height of the platform? Every other shoe vendor tells that measurement
