Anyone bought shoes from Aloha or NewBella?

[SideWonder]

Any experience or advice from all you style mavens, much appreciated.

I am inundated with Insta ads for these 2 brands - Aloha and NewBella - as I've been lusting after Carel patent Mary Janes but I blanch at €300, unless I actually go to Paris to try them on (which my Parisian friends would love!).

Both these brands do real-leather low heeled Mary Janes - any ideas or experience about their quality, fit, and customer service via mail order?

Or just give me your favourite brands for quirky Mary Janes (leather only please). What's Sezan like?

I bought Aloha sandals last year. They are heavy but so comfortable. I love them. Leather is gorgeous.

I have Aloha heeled sandals - vegan leather though. They're gorgeous, delivery took a while as it's slow fashion but it was in line with what they predicted. Had lots of compliments, I'd order from them again

Great - thanks for the feedback! Nice to know that the shoes are comfortable and stylish.

What’s “vegan leather” though? Isn’t it just plastic?

Not necessarily, from their website -

Vegan Leather
Among other recycled materials, we've used vegan leather for many of our best boots - our favorite is made from cactus and corn. Not edible, but still incredible!
