Bernardo Eloise Bow Flat (Women)

Although sizing seems TTS, the toe box was a tad shallow, and the shoe gaps a teensy bit...but it's my foot that's the problem. I thought the print would be cute - it is, but depending on what you think, the bow is almost invisible; a solid color would give it some attention. As for RTO, it's cute and capable of giving you all-day comfort on the hardest of flooring - it IS Bernardo, after all...fine construction and materials. I would've posted a video of me ugly-crying in disappointment that they don't fit - but decided that would be more drama than is needed for the review. Maybe next time.

At the risk of sounding overdramatic - these are the best shoes ever. The leather is beautiful quality. They felt broken in about 2 minutes after wearing them. The slight heel means they are not totally flat and and "bad" for you and they will hold up longer. The bow at the back is cute and adds a fun element without being too much. They are great. My Chloe "Lauren" flats wore hole through the bottom within 6 months of wearing a couple times a week. These seems much stronger. And the price is WAY better than the Chloe and they seem higher quality. Definitely going to have to buy in more colors (I got the black).

For the moderate price, these are nicely made shoes. I ordered the animal print, and the bow in the back adds an element that makes them unique without being "too cute." Also, the squared toe is a nice alternative to the usual rounded toe or pointed flats. The rounded heel also adds an unexpected detail.
