Customer Reviews Chinese Laundry Lavelle

These are so uncomfortable that they are intolerable even with Dr. Sholl Toe pads. I have a very narrow and tiny foot that even with the toe pads my toes felt scrunched and in a lot of paid from standing and being squeezed between the strap and toe pad. I do not recommend these for anyone. I wish that I could return these because I will never wear them again. Why can they not make sexy shoes comfortable!

The perfect prom shoe for my daughter's narrow feet. These are very high, but comfortable. She loved them and they looked great with her dress.

I bought these for my every day work routine. I work at a law firm and tend to walk a lot through out the day. They are comfortable for me. I have absolutely no complaints and I always get compliments on them. I would like to buy another pair in the nude to have them for when wear the current pair out.

Shoe looks great, but had to go a half size larger than usual. Not terribly comfortable, wore all day to a wedding, but looked great. Easy to match with anything!

Bought these for my niece for homecoming and she loved them. They were the perfect shade of nude!

I thought they would hurt when I bought them. But I walked around all night with them & had no problems. They're not sneakers but they definitely are comfortable, in my opinion. I didn't complain and I was walking around for 6/7 hours in them! Love these they make your feet look so sexy!

I think these shoes are absolutely elegant. They are simple and beautiful and they make me feel like Audrey Hepburn.

Great shoe, runs small, I got a half size larger than normal.

I hate them. They hurt and the patent leather looks cheap. I usually love Chinese Laundry shoes but these are so awful that I didn't even wear them outside and I'm returning them.

Love, love, love these! They look super cute on and are surprisingly comfortable (they ain't sneakers though...) Really like the look for the price. It's an interesting take on the single angle strap and single toe strap sandal.

I loved the way these shoes looked on and they fit perfectly, but they killed the balls of my feet within just a few minutes of trying them on. I even tried foot pedals, and they helped a little but not enough. I have similiar heels and they do not hurt like these did.

Run a little small, I had to order a half size large than my usual. VERY cute.. but the soles are ridiculously thin. After a few hours of wearing them at my brother's wedding, I could barely walk and had to take them off. But they are gorgeous and comfortable for shorter periods, so I still recommend them for certain occasions.

Beautiful shoe, runs at least a full size smaller than expected

I ordered up a size and had a bit of room in the back, but overall they worked GREAT! I wore them for about 4-5 hours and my feet didn't NOT hurt. There a nice strappy sandal for the price.

Love these shoes. You need to add a cushion pad to the ball of your foot or you will be sorry but after I did that they were perfect. I have a hard time finding heels that actually are comfortable with smaller straps in the front and these were great! 3 stars for comfort because they could have done a better job adding some cushion on the footbed but with an insert these are a go.

While these are stylish, they're not very comfortable. They back piece is a little too high and rubs on the heel. I could feel it as soon as I put them on. I couldn't imagine a night out in these.

Use it one for 2 hours. Very uncomfortable! Unfortunately a waste of money because I will not use it again :(

Absolutely beautiful shoe, but I'm sending them back. They do not fit right and are very uncomfortable. I compared them side-by-side to my Sam Edelman Amee shoes, they were both size 7.5, same heel height, but for some reason, the incline of the the Chinese Laundry shoes was higher, making the pressure on the ball of my foot more intense. The foot strap was out more toward the end of the shoe, and my pinkie toe felt like it was going to slide out. It has no arch support and no cushion at all. I wear high heels like these 3-4 times a week, so I am used to this type of shoe, but the discomfort was just too much to justify keeping them. I really wanted to, because they look so dang good, such a disappointment.

absolutely beautiful looking shoe. The closed back was wide and gapping around my heel while the toe bed ran narrow on my very average medium foot.

I love the style, but found this shoe to be very uncomfortable. Toe strap too tight. I feel this is better designed for a more narrow foot. Had to return it.

Uncomfortable from the first moment I tried them on. I truly wanted them to work out, but after walking around the house for 10 minutes, I realize that I would not be able to make it through the evening in these shoes. They are beautifully styled, though. I really like the criss-cross strap instead of just the ankle strap. However, there aren't enough holes in the strap to make it fit properly. I would take them to the shoemaker to have additional holes made if the overall shoe was comfortable. I will be returning these shoes and starting my search again.

The most painful experience. I wore the shoes for less than 5 minutes from my car to my job and it immediately tore the skin right off of my heels. I've had to wear bandaid bandages for the last 5 hours and avoiding getting up and walking at all costs.

OMG....the blister and pain on the ball of my foot!The most pain I have ever endured and I only wore them for 15mins! No arch support....and I wear heels...i wasted my money..... DO NOT BUY THIS SHOE!
