12Vintage-styled, robin's-egg-blue leather slip-ons, featuring a specially designed, shock-absorbing memory-foam insole. By Hey Lady. Leather upper; leather sole. 3" leather wrapped heel. Imported.
Weâ??ve found that this shoe runs a bit small. To get your best fit, we recommend ordering a half-size up.
The color, construction and comfort are great. I am usually a 6, but I ordered a half size up as recommended. They were huge! Unlike others I feel these run tts for me. Also note that the bottoms of the 6.5s are marked European size 37. I agree with the other reviewer who said to purchase two sizes to compare.

I bought these shoes for my upcoming wedding and was SO excited when they arrived! The color and style are adorable. However, they were way too small. I am usually a 9 or 9.5 and ordered the 9.5. I could barely put them on. I would recommend ordering a full size up. I am hoping a larger size will come into stock soon so I can have them for my May wedding!!

and finally sprung for them. So glad I did! The color, shape, detailing, and heel height are fantastic. I was worried that they would be too much (of what, I'm not sure) with my (short) dress, but they look fantastic. I ordered my normal size; they're snug but not too tight.

SYNTHETIC UPPER!, poor craftsmanship, imported from China
I was so excited to receive these shoes in the mail today. They are as beautiful as they are pictured. However, I was quickly disappointed (and angered) upon further inspection.
Here's what I dislike about the shoe: 1. Synthetic upper. Only the soles and lining are leather. This is especially frustrating since BHLDN advertises that they are leather upper in the description. Definitely feels like man made upper to me! 2. Poor craftsmanship. My shoe was defective in 2 areas: (1) the heel tip was glued/nailed on crookedly. This is not only dangerous, but unacceptable for shoes in this price range. (2) the insole was wrinkled in the toe box...another no no for shoes this price. On top of that, there were strings fraying/loose in a few different areas. The sole was scuffed up and worn-looking...judging by the box it had been returned 3 times before I received it. Yet, they still are hoping someone will settle for it... 3. Made in China. Imported is generally is a good thing. But not if it's imported from China, like this shoe (another misleading statement in the description). Most of the other shoes in this price range on this site are HANDMADE in Italy. This shoe is likely factory made (based on the quality).
Here's what I like about the shoe: 1. The color is wonderful. Perfect for what I had imagined on my wedding day. 2. The style is timeless. Styled after Audrey Hepburn, they are retro but in a very modern way. 3. Very comfortable and stable.
Sizing: I am a 7.5 in most heels, 8 in flats. I ordered an 8 because of the reviews, but BHLDN sent me the wrong size...a 7.5, which fit a little snug in the toebox, but would likely stretch to fit perfectly.
Verdict: Super cute synthetic upper from China is not worth $340. Not in my book. Maybe if BHLDN had not sent a defective shoe in the wrong size, I would have thought a little longer before returning. Unfortunately, they did not. So I returned these in a heartbeat.

Hi Trinity - thank you for your feedback - after reading your review we reached out to the designer for further details. The upper is absolutely leather and not synthetic (an incorrect sticker was used for some of the shoes). While the designer does have them produced in China they are fully handmade. And we have done a quality check for the heel, as they should not be uneven. If you have any further questions please reach out to style@bhldn.com.
