Karolina Retro Oxfords (Green)
Description

In collaboration with Karolina Żebrowska, meet the incredible Karolina oxfords, inspired by original 1930s designs and made in luxurious and durable suede. These oxfords are all about the details, with interesting Art Deco inspired patterning, cutouts, and an elegant shape to flatter any foot.
The Karolinas are an all-day shoe made on our famously comfortable '30s last with the perfectly balanced 2.5 in / 6.3 cm Spanish heel. We've chosen footwear-specific suede for this design, which is specially made to wear in all weather without damage. This is a soft yet supportive design perfect to pair with all things vintage.

Design & Production
After eyeing them a while I got these when they discontinued the Claremonts as they are supposedly the same last. Sadly they don't fit the same out of the box and sat in my closet for about a year. Only reason I didn't return them is I slipped while trying them on and the black toe scuffed the light purple side. I'm trying to wear them in now but doubt they will ever be as comfortable as the Claremonts
Keep breaking them in! A brand new pair is expected to feel and fit quite differently than a pair you've been wearing for three years - you've softened and stretched your original shoes, and new ones out of the box will feel tighter and stiffer!
Do also keep in mind that while the Karolina and the Claremont share a last and will be identically shaped/sized inside, they do have differently designed uppers. Different materials, seams, and decorative details in different places can cause them to feel a bit different from each other.
Perfect fit. Comfortable. Vibrant colors
I had been wanting to buy these shoes since they came out and finally am in a place where I could afford to do so. I wore them to work (I have a desk job with minimal standing) and was impressed by how comfortable they were. These are probably the most comfortable heels I own. I’m absolutely satisfied with this purchase. I normally wear a 7.5 (sometimes an 8 depending on brand) so I went with the 7.5 and they fit like a dream.
Beautiful shoes but beware they run half a size small. I am between an 8 and a 8 1/2. I got the 8 1/2 and they are a size too small on me. I will get them in a 9 because they’re great. I just wish I’d known they ran small. I’d recommend sizing up half a size.
These shoes are very eye-catching yet comfortable. Every time I wear them, I get multiple compliments. I bought black/oxblood and ivory. Love these very much!
