Love these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these in black and they’ve been great! The leather is really soft and they’re very comfortable. No rubbing on the heel. They have arch support but I do have a high arch so I don’t really benefit from it. I love the low vamp on these, it’s a very pretty style. I purchased my usual size in shoes, size 6, and it fits well. I think I could have gone down a half size but I haven’t had any heel slippage even though my heels/feet are narrow. Definitely recommend these, I’m thinking of grabbing another pair when it comes back in stock! Also I cut off the gold tipped ends and personally I love them even more that way.

Poor Quality

I bought these a few weeks ago after wearing and loving the Greta flat for over a year. Unfortunately, these will not be a staple. Though they gave me minor blisters (only one heel while breaking in) they are not an all day shoe… they are a little tight in the toe and too wide on the sides. They literally turned my feet black every time I wore them, and the gold metal on the bows started wearing down the leather on top leaving lines/scrapes. If you do decide to get them order a half-size down.

Nice shoes, run very large

Love these shoes but they definitely run large. I am usually a size 7, unfortunately size 6.5 was sold out. Size 7 is too big. With no show socks can manage with them but it's not ideal.

Cute flats

I was a bit hesitant, as I always purchase the Greta flats. These are really nice. They are padded and have some arch support. True to size.

Beautiful shoes but wrong fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The leather quality and style are beautiful, and the sale price is good. However, this shoe seems made strictly for long, narrow feet. It runs slightly large, so taking your true size with a half-insole might work best. Unfortunately, it pinches my toes in the front while slipping off at the heel, making it impossible to walk. Sadly returning them.

Cute cute

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit easy to style. If you are a 7.5 I would grab 7!
