    Love love love

    My flats are the most comfortable shoes I own. I’m usually a 36.5 or 37. I bought the size 37 which were a little tight across the top for the first couple of wears but now they are perfect. They are buttery soft. I’m definitely considering another pair or another style.

    Fit like a glove!

    I’m always a little nervous buying shoes online but the size guide was so accurate in determining my true fit. I’m normally an EUR37.5 and the 38 fit perfectly. Now I want them in every colour. Such a beautifully crafted shoe and very comfortable.

    My Second Pair!

    These shoes are beautifully made. I have a tendency to blister easily but the construction of these shoes combined with the extremely soft leather means that there are no pressure points. These are my second pair and, as with the first, they were snug but not tight on first wearing and quickly became “glove like”. I love the colour of these (my others are cognac) and I have bought them for city exploring and to go with dresses in summer. Thank you Marre for a great product.
