RATED & REVIEWED
ASKED & ANSWERED

by: Elizabeth C. - 05/20/2020
Fit: True to size
I wanted to try these because I was curious about the material. The sizing chart is spot on, however the description does not mention that these shoes have a fairly high vamp. I am returning them because they do not work for my foot shape but overall they seemed nice, just for someone else.

Love these shoes but...
by: Julie M - 02/09/2020 - Rochester,NY
Comfort:
Durability:
Fit: True to size
I love these shoes, they are a great fit for my foot shape. I have a low arch, somewhat flat foot, narrow heel, wide ball of foot, and skinny toes. I wear a 7.5 street shoe and bought these in 38.5 C, and I wear Gellows and toe spacers inside my shoes. The shank has been durable, and the soles are so wonderfully flat compared to my old Russian Pointe Rubins. My two complaints are that I wish these came in a softer shank than Medium, and the tips of the box got soft REALLY fast. Merlet's quality isn't what it was 10 years ago.

Love the canvas

Fit: True to size
I'm pleasantly surprised by these shoes, I followed the size guide and they fit really well! I have never worn these to class but I will be using them when I go back in the fall. I also love how the canvas blends in with my tights and lengthens my legs, they feel like they will hold up well for what I need.

Size conversion?
by: Julie M. (10/27/2019) Age: 30 to 39
I tried on this shoe once in a size "17", do you know the conversion to the size range shown on the website i.e. what DDS size should I buy to equal a size 17?
For the most accurate sizing, start with your street shoe size and use the conversion chart. These are sized in UE sizing by the manufacturer.
