Okay, so I finally caved and bought these brown retro Mary Jane heels after staring at them for weeks. First off—they’re *adorable*. The teardrop cutout and chunky heel give major vintage vibes, like something out of a 1940s detective movie. My friends immediately asked where I got them.

Now, sizing was a gamble. I’m usually an 8, but reviews screamed ‘size up!’ so I went for 8.5. Verdict? Perfect fit. The strap buckle is… weird? It’s like a dance shoe clasp—took me a solid minute to figure out, but once adjusted, it stays put.

Comfort level: Surprisingly decent for 3.5-inch heels! Wore them to a dinner date and only needed to sit after two hours (a win in my book). The PU leather looks sleek, though I wonder about long-term durability. Also, the color is richer in person—more caramel than plain brown.

Downside: The strap might dig if you have wider feet (mine are average). And PSA: If you’re between sizes, definitely go up. Saw some reviews saying they run small, and I agree.

Final thought? 9/10 for style, 7/10 for comfort (hey, they’re heels), and 100% worth it if you’re into statement footwear. Already eyeing the black pair…
