They took a week ish to arrive but I understand this is not a huge company, they were competitively priced and 100% genuine pleasers, I am pleased :) thank you Alternative Footwear :)
These really are lovely shoes, gorgeous in patent red. They are comfortable even though they are quite high.
There is a size issue however, a UK size10 is infact equal to a US12 whereas these were US13 marketed as UK10's. The team at Alternative footwear were very obliging, very helpful & pleasent; exchanging them very quickly & efficiently (the only delay was in posting). It was all done & exchanged in 6 days. Most excellent service.
Went a size up from my usual size for mule style and they fit perfect out the box. Only going to wear them occasionally so they shouldn't stretch out too much, the almost closed fit feels nice and secure. The platform is matte black which blends nicely with the leather look.
