Italia 70s Shoe (Women)

The sneaker is cute , but it is not the size it claims it is. It runs very narrow and might work for someone with a narrow foot. The toe box is small. The shoe runs short and I would suggest sizing up at least a full size unless you have a narrow foot. It also looks like there is no arch support.

I really wanted to love these as a more unique alternative to the ever-popular Sambas, but unfortunately, they fell short in a few key areas. The quality just didn’t match the price— the insole was extremely thin with little to no support, and I noticed visible glue marks where the sole was attached. The leather felt stiff and had a shiny, plastic-like finish that made the shoes look more like knockoffs than a premium product. Fit-wise, they were surprisingly narrow—even for my already narrow feet—which made them uncomfortable right out of the box. I'm usually a 6 in most sneakers and ordered that accordingly, but a 6.5 probably would have fit better, but still would have been too narrow. Overall, they looked better online than in person, and the comfort and craftsmanship just weren’t there. Sadly, these are going back.
