I've always wanted a pair of white shoes that weren't sneakers. These fit the bill. They're chic, comfortable and so versatile. I am typically a 7 or 7.5 US. I took these in a size 37. They're perfect.
Smart and easy, very soft and easy going
I bought these shoes in the cognac colour way thinking they would be amazing with all my clothes but when they arrived it just wasn't right, I got in contact and essen were spectacular as I had also noticed the size was a bit tight, they helped me return my shoes get a new size and colour and all so quickly and over the Christmas break to boot! I now have a white pair which I adore, from the first time I wore them, they had just right amount of space for my toes, the leather is buttery soft and they are so comfortable. I could recommend them more. To the point that I have already bought a second pair in black patent and plan another in red. If your having any second thoughts I highly suggest taking a leap with these gorgeous shoes they are absolutely worth every dollar.
Comfy from the first wear.
I wish I had purchased these sooner - I considered them for a while as I wasn't sure how they were going to fit my feet, which are on the wide side, but I needn't have worried as the leather is so soft, and I took the recommendation to size up which worked out perfectly. No breaking-in is needed; they are comfortable from the first wear. You can see the high level of craftsmanship straight out of the box. So happy to have found them.

Clean our seas and harbours
What can $2 do?
$1 removes 1.2kg of plastic and debris from the ocean Over 160 million tons of plastic is produced each year to create single-use disposable items and packaging. With no established system to close the loop, this has led to over 70 years of accumulation of plastics in landfill (40%) and the environment (32%), with only 10% being recycled. Plastics end up in waterways and oceans, breaking down into ever smaller pieces called micro-plastics, well known for entering the food chain through the water, air and food that we consume. Seabin Smart Tech, similar to a rubbish bin X pool skimmer, removes floating plastics as small as 2mm, filtering 600,000L of water per day from oil and surface pollutants. Note: To ensure greatest impact, donations are sent to Seabin Foundation to support this and other related projects. This allows them to use their expertise to direct resources to be as effective as possible.
Replant our habitat
What can $2 do?
$50 plants enough trees and shrubs to store 1 tonne of carbon dioxide Since European settlement, over 90 million hectares of land across Australia has been cleared, threatening species and the productivity of farmlands. Climate change will only exacerbate the impact with reduced rainfall, increased temperatures, droughts and more frequent extreme weather events. Greening Australia aims to restore 330,000 hectares of native trees across Australia by 2030. Drawing on the expert input of Traditional Owners, scientists and local land managers, we will plant 500 million trees and shrubs to store carbon, create quality habitat for native wildlife, and restore degraded farmland. These 500 million trees and shrubs will absorb over 1.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year by 2030, and reduce atmospheric carbon pollution. This is one of the world’s largest and most ambitious ecological restoration programs. Note: To ensure greatest impact, donations are sent to Greening Australia to support this and other related projects. This allows them to use their expertise to direct resources to be as effective as possible.
When they need it most
What can $2 do?
The rapid surge in violence in Israel and Gaza is deeply concerning. Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. As innocents, children are caught up in the fighting, witnessing or experiencing brutal atrocities and emotional distress. While the situation unfolds day by day, the distress of children remains a constant concern. This escalation will have implications across the region with more families forced to flee their homes and seek safety. Save the Children is ready to provide humanitarian aid, temporary learning spaces, emergency health units, mental health and psychosocial support, food and winter essentials.
