"They look very nice and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, the size that was recommended to me turned out not to be suitable. I wish they offered half sizes, as I was in between sizes. I was advised to choose the smaller size because the suede was expected to stretch over time. However, after wearing them for a week, they still have not expanded enough, and my feet hurt because my toes feel cramped. Looking back, I wish I had gone a size up and worn an insole instead, as that would likely have provided a much more comfortable fit. It's a shame, as I really like the look of the shoes, but the fit has made them uncomfortable to wear. I wanted to invest in a pair of high-quality, comfortable shoes, but unfortunately, that has not been my experience. While they may work well for some people, they are not suitable for everyone, so I would strongly recommend trying them on and testing the fit carefully before purchasing."

Amazing shoes!
"Wow! What amazing shoes! Every girl needs to experience that Cinderella moment when they first try on the most perfect pair of heels. Wishing I had discovered Emmy shoes much earlier in my life - despairing about how much I have must have spent over the years on uncomfortable shoes. Thank you, Emmy! Looking forward to building my new collection!"
The perfect shoe
"I had been looking for a pair of comfortable but elegant black suede shoes for ages… thought at 60+ my days of really high heels might be done but these are so well made and so well balanced that I know I will be able to stand in these without any problems! An investment, yes, but I can see them doing so many jobs and being my go to “smart” shoes. Thank you Emmy!"

"Bought my first pair of Emmy shoes for my daughter wedding, they were so comfortable I wore them all day. The black suede Josie is the same, I have a feeling it will become a staple of my wardrobe."
The perfect Blend of Style and comfort
"I recently purchased a pair of elegant high heels from Emmy London, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The design is timelessly chic and beautifully crafted, reflecting the brand’s signature attention to detail. The quality is exceptional — from the luxurious materials to the flawless finish. What surprised me the most was how incredibly soft and comfortable they are. Even after hours of wearing them, my feet felt perfectly fine, which is rare for high heels. Every time I wear these shoes, I receive countless compliments. Overall, Emmy London has truly mastered the balance between elegance, comfort, and craftsmanship. I highly recommend their heels to anyone looking for sophistication and lasting comfort in one perfect pair."
