Anyone own a pair of his shoes/sandals? They're beautiful.

I just met with him and his team today in Greenwich Village; they're some of the most fabulous people I've ever met. Matt's work is exceptional, and the story behind the company is fantastic and quite cool!

i found this thread through a search. does anyone know how matt bernson shoes fit? are they usually true-to-size? narrow? i'm interested in buying a particular pair, but i can only find them online at this point and they are final sale.

According to the website, they are TTS, and if you are a half size, they recommend the next size up.

I have a pair of matt bernson gladiator flats artiksun.

I'd say they're TTS, slightly on the generous side.

thanks a lot for letting me know that! i'm glad to hear they are 'generous' as i have slightly wide feet....that's why i was concerned about ordering them online. maybe i'll take the plunge and get them...i'm still mulling it over.

Hi all:
I just got a pair of Matt Bernson sandals (Trojan)- usually I am a 10 (in most American brands and Chinese made shoes) but 10.5 in Italian and Brazil shoes. The 10's in MB were too short, but the width was OK (i have sort of wide feet). The 11's are long enough for me (the box says they are made in Brazil).
I was wondering how the Matt Bernson sandals hold up to wear and tear if anyone has worn through a pair yet and they thought they wore out too fast. They seem rather thin on the bottoms, but a well-made thin.

I just bought a pair of the Matt Bernson Love sandals in silver and I thought they were to die for! Well worth the money! I am a true 7 and they were too small so I had to send them back for an 8....definitely run small!!!!!!!!

I have a pair of "Estancia", I have narrow feet so they are a bit wide, but they are super comfy.

i found sizing varies. i bought the gladiators and returned them because they were too long. the width was fine so it would have been too narrow if i sized down. the love sandals were tts for me.

I have a pair of KM Gladiators and wore them regularly while trudging through several major cities in Europe this summer. Not only were they fabulously comfortable, but they held up beautifully. I just cleaned/conditioned them earlier today and they still look great. And I wore them hard-- I mean I was slogging through the dusty Roman forum in 90-plus heat. Walked for miles on cobblestones and concrete.

I am now lusting after a pair of Love Sandals...

I have a couple of pairs of the Love Sandal (gold and brown). I can't say they are the most comfortable flat sandals, but I love them anyways.

I just tried a pair of the Nouers to see how the sizing was, and for me - I'm usually a 5.5-6, and the 6 fit perfectly. But then again, it has a zip heel, so it may be different in other styles. The width was great for me, as I too have wide feet.
