Married in Margaux

  • A bride and groom smile at each other as they walk up outdoor stone steps. The groom holds the bride’s dress train, and the bride carries a bouquet. Trees and sunlight are visible in the background.

    It was a very easy decision... I just knew those were the shoes I was going to wear because they’re so cute.

  • A joyful bride and groom walk arm in arm outside, smiling as guests throw flower petals. The bride holds a white bouquet and wears a lace gown; the groom wears a black tuxedo. Friends and family celebrate around them.

    Real Margaux Bride: Avery G.

    I most value style and comfort in shoes, and it’s really challenging to find a pair that meets this criteria. Margaux checks those boxes every single dang time.

  • A joyful bride in a white dress holds a bouquet triumphantly as she walks hand in hand with the groom, both smiling, in front of a circular floral arch outdoors, with an officiant standing behind them.

    The second I started thinking about what I was going to wear, I knew it had to be Margaux.

We advise taking a half-size up from the US-to-European conversion provided. The ideal fit for an open-back shoe like this will leave minimal space between your heel and the edge of the sole, even in the larger size.

Medium width is considered standard, so if you generally find standard widths comfortable in other shoes, we suggest taking a Medium. However, if you find that other shoes often pinch or feel too tight around the ball of your foot, the Wide is a fantastic option to try. It is made on a combination last, with the toe box being the only area that is wider. (It's also a great option to try if you have bunions.) The Narrow will be more narrow throughout the entirety of the shoes; it's a good option if you find your foot frequently slips or feels insecure in a standard width.

Our nappa Carmine Mules are made from a soft, Italian nappa leather. Nappa leather is permeable, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion. Our suede Carmine Mules are made from Italian suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray, like those provided in our suede care kit. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

The Carmine Mule has a similar fit to our City Sandal, though some customers prefer to size up in length in open-backed styles for additional length behind their heel.

Bespoke pairs ordered through the atelier are handmade to order at our factory in Spain and ship within 10-12 weeks of order–right in time for your big day. Keep in mind that you may want your shoes for your dress fittings, so please take your fitting timeline into account when placing your order.

We are happy to send a selection of swatches for you to choose from on request. Simply submit your swatch selections and mailing address to the Atelier team via the form below, and we'll have your swatches on their way shortly!

As Atelier pairs are handmade to-order and unique to you, they are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged.

Reviews

The best…. .

"Really comfortable, the perfect height heel, and cute summer color. Love this shoe."

Jane G. (5/5)

Lovely shoe

"Another beautiful shoe from Margaux. Buttery soft, comfortable and true to size."

Amy H. (5/5)

So comfy!

"These shoes are so comfortable and I love the color. Sooo cute!"

Amy G. (5/5)

Ridiculously perfect heels

"I have always had a hard time with heels. I find almost every pair to be uncomfortable or impossible to walk in. I also have wide feet and rarely find anything that works. After doing some research, I decided to spend more than I usually would on these, and I am so pleased to say they are worth every penny. I wore them for a full wedding, danced for hours, and ended up at a bar at 1 in the morning happily, comfortably still standing. They also are SO cute. Basically all other heels are dead to me, because I plan on only buying Margaux from now on. 100/10."

Hannah C. (5/5)

Carmine mule

"I ordered these shoes for my trip to Italy in September. I originally wanted the city sandal,but there was a brief wait.I absolutely love these sandals . I have been wearing them around my house to break them in- not necessary . They are beautiful and extremely comfortable right out of the box. The footbed is cushioned, the heel just the right head and chunky. So thrilled!"

Susannah M. (5/5)

Beautiful comfortable.

"The position of the top knot elongated the leg, but at the same time it was soft and almost squishy…crazy comfortable. Perfect heal height too. Great shoe!!"

Lori M. (5/5)

So comfy and stylish

"The color is a little bit brat (iykyk) and like all Margaux shoes they are effortless comfortable. The leather is very high quality and the shoes feel the right amount of snug on your feet so walking or dancing wont be a problem."

Erica W. (5/5)

The best heels

"This is my third color of this style. They are so comfortable; I was able to wear to a 12 hour wedding with no issues. They do run small, I typically order a 39.5 in Margaux styles and ordered a 40 in these."

Amanda G. (5/5)

My third pair of Margaux’s!

"I love all my Margaux shoes! I’m 56 years old and comfortable shoes are a must. Margaux shoes allow you to be comfortable AND stylish! My first pair were the gold wedges…Love Love Love them for all events."

Joanne Z. (5/5)

Beautiful

"Love the shoes. They are truly comfortable. They definitely run a half size small, so I highly suggest you size up. I wish I had."
