"My second pair as I love the original pair so much. The colour is fresh and perfect for spring!"
"This is my 4th pair of platform trainers. I just love them. They are not just well made, they are so comfortable and stylish and I can walk miles in them. I get so many compliments. Would not hesitate to buy more, as I like to colour coordinate with my outfits"
"So very comfortable. I ordered another one in different color. So well made!"
"The shoes were exactly as described- fabulous quality leather and design and couldn’t wait to try them on. The right shoe fitted beautifully and I was so excited! Unfortunately I have a damaged big-toe joint and the left shoe was too tight. I’m fairly sure the next size up would be too big for my right foot so very reluctantly I had to return them. I would love to buy a pair of Sans Matins but have concluded that the width of the toe area just isn’t right for me."
"Really comfortable trainers. Very stylish love the colours."
"I get so many compliments on my platform sneakers and I can wear them with everything. I will say it’s worth it to spray a leather protector or waterproof suede protector on your shoes when you first get them cause it just makes them that much easier to clean."
"Lovely trainers Very Heavy to wear Returned unfortunately as they were not for me"
"Soooooo comfortable 😊"
"Just bought my second pair! I wore these on two different study abroad trips where I was walking ~20,000 steps a day, they are so comfortable and I love them!!"
"So comfortable. New shoes always give me blisters but not Sans Matin! Straight from the box to 8 hours walking around London - perfect! Also btw customer care is superb. Thanks!"
