Dolce vita shoe review

Wow, these are comfortable and so cute with jeans, I love love love them. I'd definitely recommend them.  I bought them in red and black and don't regret it one bit.


These I don't have as many nice things to say about.  They're kinda stiff and kinda sqeeze my toes together but the toe squeeze problem wouldn't be solved with a bigger size because then it would come off of my heel when I walk. I don't think I can exchange them for another shoe so I"m pretty much stuck with them.

Do these ones run TTS?  I have been eyeing them for a while.

yep they're true to size.  The leather on the toe is so soft that's there's just no possible way that this shoe wouldn't be comfortable.  You should get them!

Hmmmm, I want them in red and black as well, but they are out of my size in black.  What do you think would happen if I went up a half size?  They also have the silver in my size and I think that they are cute as well.  Maybe I should just get the red ones and be done with it.  Thoughts?

Oh, thank goodness. I just ordered those red ones yesterday and I am so leery of ordering shoes (esp that can't be returned) without knowing how they fit/feel. Now I'm excited for them to get here. Thanks for reviewing!

I'd just get the red and be done w/it.  They're adorable.  I don't know if DV shoes fit the same as their boots, but if so, I wouldn't recommend sizing 1/2 size up.  I did this w/the boots I have (they were sold out of my regular size and I typically size up in boots) and I regret it.  I've had to put insoles in them because they're too big!

I wouldn't order a half size up, I think they'd be floppy on your feet.  Maybe you could order the smoke color instead of the black, I kinda wish I would have ordered it instead of black.

So no on the silver ones then?  They don't have the smoke in my size either.

If you like the silver and think you'd wear them tons, then go for it, but IMO they're just not doing it for me - I think it's that they're too shiny for my taste.  If you do get them, I know you could rock them

I think the silver ones are okay, there's no way I could work them into my wardrobe so maybe that's why I don't like them as much as the other colors.  I also LOVE the midnight color!

Farrah - I like the silver ones, if you think you'd wear them. I think they'd be great in the spring.


I got the gray ones and I'm super happy. I've been looking for a pair of gray shoes for awhile now and could never stomach paying lots of $$$ for thin, ballet slippers that I'd wear out in a month or two. These are perfect!

What are the heels like on these:



?


Not the wedge part, but the leather part around the back of the heel.  How high is the top cut around the ankle?  Soft?

The heel part isn't soft like the toe of the shoe but I don't think it's stiff either.  I usually have a problem with shoes rubbing on the back of my ankle but haven't had any problem with these.  The back doesn't come up high on the back of the ankle and curve in on you like a lot of shoes do.

How'd you get them for $25?  They're $40 on the website, do you have a promo code?

I just went to the store today. Plus, if you buy two pairs, the 2nd ones are half off!

Mine are...call your nearest SM store and ask. Good luck! There are a bunch of shoes on sale. I'm sure sizes are limited.
