The Colette Cap-Toe

Shoes are stunning but the quality is terrible. First pair had white paint all over the gold buckle, which was discolored, and a small tear in the leather on the heel. Returned and ordered a second pair which had defective leather on one shoe, totally wrinkled and cracked. I am so disappointed, I love the shoes and they fit well (ordered up a 1/2 size to account for the pointed toe). I really hope they improve their quality control.

This is not my first pair of Margaux heels and it most certainly will not be my last. These are, however, my first pair of sling backs and oh wow are they perfect. I love the low cut across the toe area which leaves the perfect amount of toe cleavage; padded in-sole; adjustable slingback allowing for a custom-fit on the back heel which helps keep the strap perfectly in place. I also adore the cap toe combination for spring and lightening up my travel wardrobe for an upcoming trip to London and Paris. The heel height is walkable and while they are comfy with the European cobblestone I am primarily planning on using them for dinner. Once stateside again they will definitely be used on a daily basis. They run a tad smaller—I went up a half-size also because with slingback shoes I don’t like my heel to feel like it extends all the way to the very back of the foot bed. I found that in this style I went with my usual 1/2 size larger as I would for European designer shoes.
