Perfect wedding shoes!
Had to order a half size up as my usual size was sold out during the sale, I've only been able to wear them out once so far since receiving but I wore them all day and it was hot out and they fit and felt great the whole time. No issue with the half size up, it would have probably been fine in my normal size but with the pointiness of the toe I'm glad for the extra leeway. My biggest problem with leather boots is the creasing at the ankle always always always ends up chafing. But since these have fabric sides there is zero discomfort! Gorgeous shoes. Looking forward to a long time with them.
I bought these a size smaller than I usually do because they were on sale and I needed them quickly for a historical costume. I used a boot stretcher to slowly stretch the leather over a week, and mink oil to keep them flexible. I was able to get them comfortable enough to start breaking them in for our community theatre's production of Fiddler on the Roof, I wore them every day for 2 months straight for rehearsals and performances, they are beautiful and worked great. And now that the show is done, I have a well fitting and comfortable pair of boots
Nowhere in the description does it say the black shoes are patent leather, but the plasticky feel -and shine- of it was unmistakable when I took them out of their box. I decided to keep them instead of going through the hassle of returning them, but boy am I bummed. At least I ordered a size up, because patent leather SUCKS to stretch.
Rest assured, the Anne boots are not patent leather! They're a high shine leather and can be cared for and stretched exactly like our other regular leather shoes. High shine leathers can be created many ways, including oil rubbed finishes and other methods. At the time of this writing, the ONLY patent leather shoes we have are the Pattie in white and in black. When we use patent leather we're careful to disclose it in the description, as it requires different care!
So cute. I usually wear a 39, I ordered up to a 9.5 figuring I could just wear them with socks, unfortunately they were so tight I couldn’t even get my foot into them. As I ordered them on the clearance sale, they are nonrefundable. $160 down the drain. Will not be ordering from this company again.
We're sorry these didn't work out for you! While our extensive data shows the Anne fits most folks true to size, it is a pointy toed style, and some folks with broader or very squared off toes may find that that the size they wear in most round or square toed dress shoes or heels is a different size from what they need in pointy toed dress shoes or heels. It's also important to keep in mind that our shoes are close fitting like most heels and dress shoes - we don't recommend going off of the size you wear in athletics, sneakers, clogs, sandals, stompy boots, or other styles that tend to have a lot of excess space.
