Overall: These shoes are well made, distinctive and fun – the white is a true white, but the blue color IRL is not as shown in the photos.
Details: Beautiful shoes... Alas, the images show a light Navy, but the shoes IRL are a traditional Dark Navy. (Bought them via international shipping, so paying exchange shipping not a feasible option)
Sizing/Comfort: Length is true to size, although they do run tight across the width, (I’m a true 9B). Once they’ve been worn a bit more, and the leather stretches, I think they’ll be comfy. The heel height and placement is well balanced.
Detailing: The design is terrific, and the extra pair of contrast-colored laces are a great idea – almost making them two pairs of shoes – the self-colored laces allow them to be more subdued/restrained, while the contrasting laces change them to be eye-catching and fun.
Customer Service: I was told that the difference in blue was because my “device had the brightness cranked right up” – which it did not, it was at 50% – and in future to “view the photos…on a calibrated monitor”, which is hardly a realistic expectation of customers. An easy solution for AD would be to add a note that the navy is dark. Speedy delivery (to Australia).
Conclusion: The shoes are gorgeous. If the color representation had been more accurate, (or if I had wanted them in dark navy), then I would be absolutely thrilled. Even so, they are attractive, stylish, well-designed shoes. 5 for the shoes, 3 for color accuracy = 4 stars
