Fit on Paul Green Natasha Loafers?

MicheleS

Hi all,
I'm contemplating the Paul Green loafers in the wine patent and I was wondering if anyone could comment on the fit? I have slightly wide feet, sometimes an M, sometimes a W, and a high instep / arch. Just wondering if these would work or if the Munro Jordi's would work better. The style of the PG's appeal to me more as well as the color. Thanks!

I have Natasha's from last year. I have a high instep but my foot is slightly narrow. They fit me well so I ordered another pair hoping I will like the color.

I have the ones from last year too and I would say they are true to size for me. I'm a B width normally and have a high instep. I did have to add a little pad in the heel as it was a little loose for me.

I'm debating if I want to burgundy ones from this year.

MicheleS

hmm, I'm between a B and a W...I may just order to try on as they're not at the store near me. Thanks!

I tried PG loafers last year. They didn't come close to fitting my feet - I've got wide feet with a high instep. But can't hurt to try!

They do not work for a high instep with wide feet - just had a client reject them because of that. They CAN work for wider feet when you don't have a high instep. Loafers worked well on that client.

Oh no! I ordered these last night, but have a high arch. Shoot. I'm guessing these will get sent back.

It's all relative Banoffi, you may be surprised. I have the Jojos which are quite similar. With my wide foot with a high-ish instep, they are great!

My experience with Paul Green is that they are on the narrow side, but the excellent leather can also mold to the foot. Good luck!

I bought the Paul Green's last year. I found them to be less forgiving across the bridge of my foot. Took some breaking in.

They're still not my favorite shoe or one I reach for without a moment of thinking how much walking I need to do that day.

Banoffi, a high arch is NOT the same as a high instep.

Angie - I had no idea! I always thought the terms were synonymous. What is the difference? Thank you!

I had to return last year's Jojos because they were a little narrow for me and since they were patent they were hard to break-in, plus who wants to break-in shoes at that price point. This year's Natashas are more comfortable in the width, but since they have the band of leather on the top they are a bit tight on the instep. The nicer thing about the Natashas is that the patent is pebbled and looks really cute. I re-ordered to see if maybe another pair is looser on the instep.

MicheleS

Thanks for all of your feedback! I was able to drop in to a store with them in stock and I was able to try in person. I could not get my foot in due to the band of leather on the instep, so I can't really gauge the width. So Angie is spot on (as usual!).

I also tried on the Paul Green Logan bootie and the width was fine but the instep was super tight across the top of the boot.

However, tried on the Paul Green Nora bootie and it is beautiful! Very comfortable for a 3" heel, I typically won't go higher than 2". I loved them but I decided that I wouldn't reach for them often enough due to the heel height so I passed. I have a couple pairs of Munro booties and a Munro loafer on the way, so we'll see.

Thanks for asking, I'm eyeing quite a few shoes from NAS this year and it's helpful to get feedback.

MicheleS

Well, I have these on the way:
Munro Jolyn Bootie
Munro Ayr Bootie
Munro Jordi Loafer
Franco Sarto Johanna Loafer

I need booties for the UK in December / January and loafers for work. I'll keep you posted on the fit of these!

Kathleen

These are not going to work for me. They are just too tight with the strap across the top. I'm disappointed as I really liked the color and patent look of them.

Keep in mind that the feet swell in the summer. If the shoes are just a little bit tight they still might work in the fall, not if they are too tight though.
It is tough to buy shoes for a different season, what is good now may be too loose in the fall.

Banoffi, arch is underneath the foot. Instep is on top. If you have a high instep, you may commonly find shoes, especially high vamp styles, too tight across the top of the foot.

Banoffi, Firecracker is dead right. Try the loafers.

Thank you, Firecraker and Angie. I've learned something new (and useful!) today. I ordered the Natasha loafers last week and they shoul be arriving today.
