Reviews

Gorgeous shoe

"Beautiful leather (color is perfect) and appreciate that Margaux offers multiple widths as I have a narrow foot. The only reason why I didn’t give this shoe a 5 star rating is because my heel slips just a bit in the back. I’m not sure how much these shoes will stretch overtime so i am nervous about ordering down a size. I’ll try a heel insert as they really are beautiful shoes !"

— Rhonda H. (4/5)
