Crew shoes that I ran across last night. I'm not sure all of their shoes are made in Italy, but some of them certainly are.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/made-in-italy.jsp">https://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navi.....-italy.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1222153 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 14:45:49 +0000 Angie 1222153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. I was at JC yesterday an no oxfords. *sad face*.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221837 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 00:05:54 +0000 Sveta 1221837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for chiming in.<br />K, you are giving me hope that they may work for me. If quality s good I guess I have to order to assess the comfort level myself - and get them out of my head in any case.<br />Angie, thank you. The site says "online only" so it looks like they are not available in stores.<br />Marianna, those are pretty oxfords but they look too sporty for my style. I much prefer wingtip styling of JCrew. I hope they work for you!<br />unfrumped, great idea about keeping the insole in your purse!<br />Karie, of course it is helpful - thank you!<br />Parsley, if some styles were too wide for you there is hope for me then :-)<br />I think I will order them tomorrow - wish me luck!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221650 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 19:35:16 +0000 unfrumped 1221650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The few I tried in-store did not have enough cushioning. I think an insole could&nbsp;be a fix option&nbsp;with certain styles and with sizing to fit. So that seems to track with what others have experienced.</p> <p>I'm thinking of adding a pair of thin insoles to my "shopping purse" kit because this comes up frequently. Is it the whole shoe, or just the bottom isn't cushy enough, but the upper is a good fit and pliable? Trying to tell if it's a permanently hard shoe or modifiable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221605 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 18:32:33 +0000 harmonica 1221605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really pretty oxfords that would suit your style well. Would love to hear if they are wearable or not. </p> <p><b>marianna</b>: love the gold dust oxford</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221583 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:58:47 +0000 K. Period. 1221583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've bought many pairs of JCrew shoes and boots. &nbsp;As Angie said, the quality is always stunning. &nbsp;The fit is generally good for my feet, which are high volume (high five!). &nbsp;My foot is wide, but just on the edge where I can buy normal width and be okay in many shoes. &nbsp;JCrew shoes stretch beautifully because the quality of the leather is phenomenal. &nbsp;Like Angie said, though, high quality&nbsp;doesn't necessarily mean comfy, especially for the first wear. &nbsp;However, definitely always worth a try! &nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I have three pairs of JCrew boots (a flat riding boot, a kitten heel pointy toe and a blach high heel pointy toe) that have been absolute workhorses for over ten years. &nbsp;I'm tallying it up, and I probably have eight pairs of JCrew shoes, boots and sandals from over the years. &nbsp;One of my newer purchases--my leopard patent wedge heels from last year--have been worn endlessly and they still look like new. &nbsp;The took a few careful wears with bare feet to break in to true comfort. If I'd worn nylons, they probably would have been comfortable from day 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221565 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:41:28 +0000 Parsley 1221565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As my daughter said,&nbsp;I've had pretty good luck with J Crew shoes. Actually that could be bad news for you, because my feet sound like the opposite of yours! On the other hand, I've had to send some back because they're too wide, so I think it depends on the style. They seem to run a tiny bit smaller than most brands.&nbsp;The quality has been excellent across the board. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221541 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:15:16 +0000 marianna 1221541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, have you seen these?

Some shoes are very comfy - like their suede styles - while others are hard and nasty.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wish I could be more helpful, Sveta. If I see these pretty oxfords&nbsp;in stores I could try them on for you.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221438 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:48:24 +0000 Karie 1221438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love J. Crew, but like most stores,&nbsp;some of their items are made better than others, some are worth the price and some are not.&nbsp;Their blazers and pencil skirts - good quality and I would say worth the price, jeans - maybe, shoes - not so much. The quality and workmanship is OK, but IMHO not always worth the price tag. I haven't seen these in person, but from the shoes I have seen and&nbsp;tried on, the fit seems to be where it should be.</p> <p>These are cute shoes, though - I've been looking for a similar pair for the spring/summer season.</p> <p>I know I'm not much help, maybe someone who has seen them will chime in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221375 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 12:00:44 +0000 Deborah 1221375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No experience but just chiming in to say they look like a great pair of shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221366 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 11:23:18 +0000 Sveta 1221366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you keruchina, it is good to know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221276 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 03:48:41 +0000 keruchina 1221276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a good experience with my only pair of j crew footwear (sandals), and I know my mom (Parsley) really loved and wore the crap out of her j crew leopard wedges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-jcrew-shoes#post-1221221 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 02:45:09 +0000 Sveta 1221221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is the quality of JCrew footwear?<br />I have been looking for flat oxfords to replace my falling apart Trouve ones and JCrew has <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/loafersoxfords/PRDOVR~A5094/A5094.jsp">them</a> in my size. Does anybody has experience with JCrew shoes? They are pretty expensive so are they worth it? Also if anybody know if they cna fit "high volume" feet that would be a great information to have.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your help? </p> <p>ETA: placed my order for the oxfords! They will come next week and I will report about the fit, comfort and quality.</p> <p></p>
