Very comfy in my usual size, it is nice to be able to slip out of the shoe under the table when show-working as a milliner. That the colour fits my green dresses to perfection adds to my loving them.
I bought these on a whim because they’re not my usual style but the embroidery and contrast stood out to me.
I was a little worried about the fact their was nothing on the heel to prevent the shoe from slipping but my fear was unfounded! These are incredibly comfortable and simply beautiful. They stay on my foot perfectly and are simply just darling. Highly recommend!
The shoes are beautiful, but tight across the vamp. I’m rather disappointed. I ordered according to my fit size measurement bc I’ve been finding AD shoes are getting smaller & smaller, and these are still tight too get on properly. They would fit in length perfectly, if my foot was fully inside the shoe, but the vamp doesn’t allow for that. I don’t even know that going up another size would do anything bc then the shoe will be too long.
For sizing, we suggest you order whatever size you MOST typically wear in B width heels when ordering the Antoinette as we've found this is the method that tends to be most successful for most people. We don't typically go by measurements for individuals, as they're not a good way to estimate size. No two people measure their feet the same and considering that there's typically a 2mm difference in width and a 4mm difference in length in between half sizes, you can see how a tiny change in measuring could throw you way off!
