Theses shoes are so chic. I ordered my usual size and found they run a little snug. I contacted customer service about replacing the inner sole to a thinner one and the staff were very obliging. Am still waiting for them but I’m sure they will be perfect.

I’ve been searching for a great new winter flat for a while and these are great. Lovely soft leather, classic design and comfortable from day 1. I am often between sizes so originally ordered the 36 which was a little too small. Marre was very helpful through the exchange process and I now have the 37 which fit nicely.

I can't remember when was the last time when shoes didn't hurt my feet. I usually suffer for the first few days until any kind of shoes adjust to my feet. But not this time. They are absolutely perfect. I loved the quality, design and fit from the first wear. I'm very happy with my purchase so far.

These shoes came out of the box feeling a little snug, but nothing some wear around the house didn’t fix. I also used shoe horns to help with any additional tightness, especially at the heel area. Simple and classic, looking forward to a brown pair soon.
