Etsy shoes!

Maya

I found this seller through another blog and they have fantastic stuff, including the Chanel-inspired tights I wanted.

I also saw these shoes. You can CHOOSE your heel height and color! Brilliant. But obviously there is a lot of uncertainty about quality, comfort, etc. Does it seem worth it?

They also have tons of cute oxfords and they say they can customize, so perhaps they can make something for my oddly shaped foot!

Those shoes are too cute. I think $45 is worth the experiment. Especially if you discuss your foot issues ahead of time and take into account their response.

I wonder, if you gave them a try and they did not work out if anyone else from the forum would be willing to give them whirl. If we had the same size feet I would be your fall back, the shoesies are just adorable.

Hmmm, they come from China (red flag for me) and the shipping is $20 (that's a lot). She does have two positive reviews for the shoes, so that helps. But there are no returns (and even if there were, it would be expensive to ship them back to China.

I might be overly cautious, but I would save my money for something better. Even if the choice aspect is cool, nobody else will know that unless you tell them, and I don't think the shoes are really all that special otherwise. I think you can find some you know you will like and can try on and return.

Those are super cute, and for $45 (or even $65) a great deal for customized shoes. I wonder about the seller though. Her profile says she is in Sydney. Does she order the shoes from a factory in China and have them shipped directly to you?

Oh Cciele, I think you are right on! Her handmade items ship from Australia, but the others are shipped out of China. I don't think there will be any kind of customization to fit your feet needs, just customization of the size, color, and heel.
