Width:
Feels true to width
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Since I got them about a week ago, I have worn them several times. Though they were initially very stiff (I did get blisters), the leather quickly softened and I now find them to be one of my more comfortable pair of shoes.
The style is a classic and goes with everything. It is perfect for both day and night. I wouldn't recommend wearing them on rainy days though.
I would have preferred a thicker, more durable sole, as I do intend to wear the shoes regularly. As it is, I think I will need to get a new sole put on in about 2 months (provided I continue to wear them as regularly as I have been).
I also would recommend going half a size up. Whilst the leather does stretch, they are a small make.
Overall I am glad I made the purchase. Classic mary janes such as these are pretty hard to find(at least in Australia). My local cobbler told me that to make such a shoe would set me back $600/700.
For the price, they are great value!
