I was aware of reviews from etsy about the pearl strap breaking so I knew I had to wear them with care. I tested the shoes out multiple times and made sure they were loose enough around the ankles. BUT within one hour of wearing them at my wedding, the pearl strap on one of the shoes busted. I was thankful I had my reception sneakers on hand, but I was planning to have our wedding photographs done with my heels on. Im so disappointed in these shoes. If I didn't have a backup pair this could have ruined the day. They need to put better care into making these shoes durable. The pearls are held together by fishing line or something. For what you pay, this is not worth it. ALSO, the ivory is yellowish, not true ivory. The shoes were nothing close to my ivory dress.
Great experience even with the original order being out of stock -- helped me find a great alternative pair
The shoes are beautiful and I can't wait to wear them with my wedding dress on the special day!
Beautiful shoes! Perfect for my wedding
I was glad to find these because they were exactly what I was looking for and couldn't find anything like them elsewhere. I got a lot of compliments on them and because they were so comfortable and not too tall, I was able to wear them the whole day and even dance in them.
I recommend double knotting the ribbons because they can come untied pretty easily, and not to tie them too tight as the wires holding the string of pearls can come apart. That's the only issue I would like to see fixed, maybe using stiffer wire for that piece. I had to restring one of my shoes and bend the wires back into shape after my bridal portraits, but they held up for my wedding day.
Sizing runs a bit small, I went by the size chart and had to exchange for two sizes up. I'm normally an 8.5-9 in street sizing and wore a 9.5 in these.
