If you look to the right of the shoe you'll see gaping. That bugged. I supposed it would be taken care of if I went for my true size, 7.5. These are an 8.
The burgundy contrast looked more brown than burgundy or purple. That was a disappointment.
J Crew heels are hit or miss for sizing, as are there other shoes. I thought I'd need an 8 in the pumps, but these are too big. I tried shoe inserts but they didn't help.
Overall I'd say these are fairly comfortable, even though I wasn't in the proper size. I'm not a leather expert, but I have reservations about how long the suede will last on these. You're not supposed to put leather in plastic and these are in plastic in the box. I'm not sure for how long and if that's affected the suede quality or not. It looks good from afar, but upon close inspection it doesn't seem as though it will hold up for a long time. I definitely would not wear these with longer jeans because the jean material would brush against the suede. I also would not drive with these on. I would wear another pair of shoes while driving and then switch just before getting out of the car. With the suede covered heel you're bound to get some brushing marks from the floorboards. Also bad. These are going back.

Bummer! I love the look of these shoes...sorry to hear they don't actually work IRL! Thanks for the reviews, btw...they are extremely helpful! :)
ReplyDeleteFFM -- Thanks for visiting. I also looove the way these look. I was deciding between these and the sweet potato/turq combo. I wouldn't want to deal w/the suede in either case. Some shoes are made better than others. They didn't nail this.
