That's really good to know. I've decided to hold off and order a pair of the boots (probably the Terilyn) later this summer, to wear in the fall, since boot-weather is my dominant season and I have more than enough warm-weather shoes now. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1816320 Sat, 17 Jun 2017 19:49:58 +0000 Nomad 1816320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>devanell16, thank you for posting! I've (still) been trying to choose between color options, and the hand painted ones looked so beautiful and were such a temptation, but now I think I'll stick to a solid color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1816307 Sat, 17 Jun 2017 18:31:17 +0000 devanell16 1816307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't speak for wearing these shoes long-term, but they seem well made and really are beautiful. Just avoid the hand painted limited editions! &nbsp;I just received my pair today but sadly am returning them. &nbsp;I don't have issues with the shoe itself, but the paint job looks amateur and nothing like what was pictured. &nbsp;For the price it's not worth it. &nbsp;Most likely done by less experienced staff as the owner is in Barcelona for the summer according to her Instagram, so I suspect lack of quality control. &nbsp;</p> <p>Also size down - they are supposed to be snug at first so the leather can stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1788024 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 19:44:54 +0000 Jenn 1788024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you should bring this up, because I was looking at those shoes too! The FreePeople shoes I've been looking at (see photo) are sold out in my color/size combination, and these are <i>very</i> similar. They're pricier, but I like the idea of purchasing from an independent maker. </p> <p>The return policy does make me nervous, but in all honesty, I'm not sure why. It's not like I've ever returned a worn pair of shoes, and the "test on carpet" thing is pretty standard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1787942 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 14:28:02 +0000 JAileen 1787942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look wonderful. I'd love to try them on before buying, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1787902 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 12:33:20 +0000 RobinF 1787902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love these. I looked at her site and they are all beautiful (the cheetah booties!). For me, if the sole is fairly flexible they stay on better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1787881 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 12:02:05 +0000 Traci 1787881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't, but I've heard good things. &nbsp;I had wondered if the higher vamp on this style would make them less prone to fall off? &nbsp;I believe I read they're designed to start off a bit snug, because the leather is very soft and not reinforced, they mold to your foot after a few wears. &nbsp;There seems to be a niche market for this brand, so resale is an option if they didn't work out.</p> <p>I think I'd have to be able to try them in person to commit. &nbsp;Their return policy says only unworn shoes can be returned. &nbsp;Since they need to be broken in to know how they'll truly work out on your feet, that's a gamble.</p> <p>I have noticed that style of higher vamped d'orsey flat is trending right now. &nbsp;You can find less expensive, easier to acquire version if the look is what you're going for, although I suspect you are also intrigued by the craftsmanship. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1787869 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 11:02:01 +0000 Janet 1787869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never heard of them before, but the styles and fabrications are really appealing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1787858 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 10:29:16 +0000 Inge 1787858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've no experience with the brand, La Pedestrienne, but the Sandy looks right up your alley. (I hear you on d'Orsay styles though). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sevilla-smith-shoes----has-anyone-tried#post-1787854 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 10:03:01 +0000 LaPed 1787854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know there are some handcrafted footwear connoisseurs here, so, has anyone given these a try?&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://https://sevillasmith.com/">https://sevillasmith.com/</a></p> <p>I found out about her through etsy:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://sevillasmith.com/">https://www.etsy.com/shop/SevillaSmith</a></p> <p>It sounds like they're designed to be extremely flexible shoes with lots of give -- perfect for me, but not for those who desire a lot of support from their shoes. And they're gorgeous -- I love the "Sandy" design (below), but I always feel like those half-d'orsay styles are going to fall right off my feet. &nbsp; </p>
