Do these shoes fit or should I return them?

Bough online, they're beautiful. I'm really funny with shoes and it's hard find any that truly fit me.

It looks like the toe box is too narrow for your foot.

Congrats on the wedding Flowers

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 07/01/2021 14:11

And ‘Yes’ to being too long (size down by half or full size - obv no good if the toes are squeezy though). They are pretty shoes, mind. Love a T-bar.

They're a bit too narrow at the front.

Exactly @BalladOfBarryAndFreda I don't think I'd be able to fit my toes property ;(

Kinda hard to really tell but they do look a bit too big. Pretty shoes though, have a wonderful and perfect wedding day.

catsaysmeow · 07/01/2021 14:19

Aah I absolutely coveted Rachel Simpson shoes for my wedding but they do come up quite narrow, especially on bigger feet. You want to be comfortable on the day. I ended up with a pair of wedges from Hobbs.

To be honest, I would wait until shops reopen. The only pairs of heels that I've had that are even vaguely comfortable have an ankle strap otherwise your foot moves. If you plan to wear them all day I would look at comfort over style - especially if your dress is floor length. Clark's or similar will have dressy but comfortable sandals that won't hurt your feet and come in both width fittings and half sizes - typically they come in about mid February (all bets off this year)

They look too big but also too narrow, how annoying! As they are lovely shoes

Fressia123 · 07/01/2021 14:22

Locally I only have Clarks. Which I don't love as much as they can be comfortable. I won't be weary these shoes the whole time. Only for the ceremony and registry office bit. Most of the time I'll be wearing some sparkly platform Keds.

Return them. The gap at the back looks awful.

Aworldofmyown · 07/01/2021 14:31

No they don't fit and another size won't help unfortunately as the area at the front of the shoe just isn't big enough I'm afraid 😔

Fressia123 · 07/01/2021 14:35

I think I agree as much as I like them I don't think they fit.

You need a size smaller but a wider toe box. You have properly wide “dancer’s” feet that are slim so narrow at the heel. You probably have a high instep too ? My feet are like this and so are my DH’s and our dc, it is annoyingly difficult to get shoes.
I would say, looking the style, that you could look at tango shoes, as they often come in a range of fittings, heel heights etc, and are designed for a dancer’s foot.

SirVixofVixHall · 07/01/2021 14:43

If you want to splash out Chie Mihara fit my feel very well.m

NoNarniaBecauseLipstick · 07/01/2021 15:22

I came here to say ‘try Chie Mihara,’ but someone beat me to it.

I have very narrow heels and I find they fit me well, plus style wise quite like yours, and comfy.

SirVixofVixHall · 07/01/2021 19:40

Normal shoes for wide feet are often actually for feet that are chubbier, so wider all over, but you only need a slightly wider fit in the toe box, but nicely fitted at the heel.
That is why I suggested Argentine tango shoes such as Comme Il Faut, and Chie Mihara as they also fit this way. You will need to throw a bit more money at shoes to get a good fit, but then will have shoes that last ages.

Roselilly36 · 07/01/2021 19:58

They don’t look a good fit at all, and too even ask the question I think you know that too. Good luck OP, I hope you find a lovely pair of shoes for your special day, many congrats Flowers

Fressia123 · 07/01/2021 20:03

Exactly! I've just looked at some of Comme Il Faut and Lisadora. Do you anything about the latter?

OP posts:
SirVixofVixHall · 07/01/2021 20:11

I haven’t bought any but have mulled over them, I had a friend who did Argentine tango and wore Comme il Faut. They are elegant shoes, and there are so many choices with colours and heel heights. There was another brand she wore but I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

SirVixofVixHall · 07/01/2021 20:12

Lisadora do look nice.

M0rT · 07/01/2021 20:23

I would recommend Irregular Choice low heeled shoes for comfort, you are slim so don't need to cripple yourself with skyscrapers!
They have some lovely normal looking ones in white/gold/cream that would suit.
Best wishes with your wedding Flowers

SirVixofVixHall · 07/01/2021 20:23

If I remember rightly Comme il Faut fit generously and you need to size down, so if you are ordering them then ask this beforehand as that might depend on style.
I find Chie Mihara very true to size.

waitrosetrollydolly · 07/01/2021 20:24

Beautiful shoes and bag. Congrats on impending wedding!
I put two each of those silicon 'ball of foot' pads into a pair of beauties that were a bit too big , it made them more comfortable to wear for longer too.
Have an amazing day! Nb if it's a long dress have done flip flops or slippers on standby too!

Fressia123 · 08/01/2021 09:19

Thanks @SirVixofVixHall I like the styles but nothing is calling me. My DP said that the shoes don't fit at all. That I might feel ok in them but that it looks like they definitely don't fit to others.

SirVixofVixHall · 08/01/2021 09:56

They are very pretty shoes, what a shame they don’t fit you. I hope you can find something similar that is a better fit. If I see anything that looks possible I will link - what is the heel like, I imagine very slender ? I think Chie shoes are probably too chunky at the heel for you, although in her CHIE range on the website a few have slimmer heels. That is why I thought tango shoes might work if you could find some in the right colour and shape, as usually you can choose your heel height and they often have a choice between heel shapes too.

I expect you have looked at Russel and Bromley etc ?
