First of all, I got the flower embroidered black ones. I saw them and audibly gasped bc I have a shirt with the same flowers so it was PERFECT. For the price, I just had to try them.They look exactly as pictured! They’re super comfy! And fit perfectly!To elaborate, they are a true black, not a faded blackish gray. The flowers are embroidered just as pictured. The type of fabric, trim, and lining are all very comfortable. As someone who struggles with being able to comfortably wear shoes without socks, I was pleasantly surprised at how soft everything was. The soles are sturdy looking and the type of material that bends easily with each step but not crack or make that loud clacking sound. The inside, like I mentioned before is comfortable, but has no arch support, which I personally like, but worth noting for people who need it.Some people had issues with smell and the strap, mine have a new shoe smell not bad and not gasoline-like as I’ve seen some mention. My straps function perfectly, no issues like some have mentioned.As far as fit, mine fit my feet perfectly. I have flat chunky feet that are wide. My family refers to the family foot shape as Barney Rubble. LOL — So, I usually struggle to find a flat or heel to fit right. Usually sneakers are my only comfort shoe. So to find a pair of flats be this cute, this comfortable, and this affordable… WOW! My shoe size can be anywhere from 7.5 US Women’s all the way to 9.5 US Women’s.. All depends on the brand and style of shoe. So, 8.5 is a happy medium that I usually go with and hope for the best, HOWEVER, the Amazon recommended size was 9, so I went with that. I’m glad I did, bc I think the 8.5 would’ve been tight. So, the 9 fit me in width, it also allows the strap to sit comfortably and not tight, and the length has a teeny bit on room in the toes.. not too much but not tight.If they fall apart after one wear or something else like that, I’ll update, otherwise they’re awesome!!

Hi, this review is for the black cotton mary janes by Shoes 18. They are fantastic, fit extremely well and are cute as heck if you love the vintage retro look of the '70s and '80s. The white Shoes 18 mary janes also fit the bill, maybe they run a tad bit large. But they are still very wearable and comfortable. The success of the black and white shoes led me to wanting other colors. I purchased red, light blue and pink. Sadly they didn't live up to the reputation of the black and white shoes. While ordered on the same Shoe 18 site, they were from different manufacturer's. They were very much UNDER SIZED though listed as the same as the black and white ones. Very narrow and the length barely fit. They run extremely smaller. While wearable, they offer little comfort. My foot is wide, and the strap wouldn't meet the sliding catch. They worked only after sewing and gorilla glueing the strap to the catch tab. They are all cute though. Just beware that these China flats come from different manufacturer's and as such you can't count on size unifomity. Deffenently a hit and miss. I still give 5 stars for the excellent black and white flats I sought to begin with. Good luck.

You can't walk in these shoes. They are so poorly constructed that you will want to walk barefoot rather than limp around in these shoes. It feels like you taped cardboard to your feet and it's so uncomfortable, so awkward and unbearable that you will wish you didn't leave the house wearing these. One of the straps kept sliding loose so that the shoe came off every time I took a step. This couldn't be fixed, so I just kept pulling the strap tight again every few steps. Then I gave up and let the shoe flop on my foot because who can keep walking and pulling the strap tight again every few steps? Aside from flopping, I had to walk by shuffling my feet to keep them from falling off. And then, the strap of the other shoe broke. I was out meeting a friend for lunch and had to buy shower sandals from the nearest dollar store because at that point, I could absolutely not wear the shoes at all. Do not recommend. These are a waste of money. Unwearable, broken, poorly constructed. Save your money and avoid. Though, admittedly, they are cute.

I was expecting a U.S. womens size 10 and a half. What I received is an EU 38, which is probably more like a U.S. womens size 8. I could find no size designation on the exterior. They are not fancy, some raw edges on the lining. I ordered them, expecting a nice comfortable cotton lining and thin sole, and that is what I got. They had a slightly strong smell, as if they were packaged soon after the sole was molded, but I imagine they will air out quickly. I applied for a return and Amazon says they will send me a return label and gave me 4 options of places to return them. 4 stars for the product, due to the raw edges on the lining, 0 stars for sending the correct product size and unknown stars for customer service, as I have not yet received the return label.

Good price. They arrived on time. Well wrapped. And they are beautiful, flirty, firm, comfortable. I liked the purchase. I wear 38 or 7.5... The 7.5 was perfect for me.

I have been looking for the traditional cotton mary janes of my childhood; up until about 3 years ago I could find them in little Chinese markets but lately I haven't had any luck, it seems like velvet is the trend for them now. I looked long and hard at these pictures and they appeared to be the right fabric; they are not. They are more like a canvas, which, esthetically, is great, they hold their shape nicely. BUT they are extremely hot. I've tried replacing the insoles but they are still uncomfortably warm. If you aren't a die hard traditionalist about the fabric, these are nice little summer shoes. If you hate sweaty, hot feet, I wouldn't recommend.

They are almost perfect, not standardized sizes...will add extra liners. Great deal!

Sizing to big

These are ace for the cost and really comfy
