Thanks.
I ended up getting this pair of velvet mules. It looks very chic I’ve got a lot of compliments and is comfy enough for this kind of shoes.
I originally felt that way to when I first started wearing my Emile Vara slides. But after a few months of break in I noticed a huge diffrence. They are now very, very comfortable and are my go to fall/spring slides.
Keep wearing them, maybe around the house with socks to speed up the break-in process. I promise you once you get those babies broken in they are golden!
Oh wow, thanks! so glad to hear it turns out well for you. will keep on pushing then. i was also looking for the name of the model, and thank you again for supplying it to me. so it's emile.
btw do you wear your usual size or upsize?
Yes its the Emile, not sure if you still have the box but if so that will tell you the model you have. Here is a link to what i have below, only diffrence is I have the all black calf version, this is the suede.
My SF size is 9.5 or 10, I have these in size 10 but wanted to purchase in 10.5 or 11 because I hate for my shoe to look like it just fits in mules. They only had size 10, they were on sale for a great deal so I purchased.When i first got these it seemed like they looked like they just fit me, I blamed this on me not being able to push my foot all the way in and the shoe being stiff. As previously mentioned I just kept wearing them and once they softened they fit better. My foot goes in futher, they still look great after break in, no wrinkles and to be honest they feel like a pair of slippers.
I love them!
SF are truly investment shoes and worth every penny.
Good Luck

thanks!
that is indeed my mules. but mine is in black patent, so maybe it takes more time to get soft. again, thank you! and indeed, i love ferragamo shoes so much, i almost have no shoes from other brand! (and ihave lots and lots of shoes hahahaha)
I am totally puzzled about the listing, all my SF shoes give the size in US, have they changed it for some lines?
As for SF shoes, possibly the most comfortable shoes, I like that their designs don't look dated, having said that, the Vara I can appreciate as a design but that would simply never go with my regular style, but they have so many different styles, all of them in great quality and super comfy.
Good question...im assuming the seller was most likely giving Italian/American size conversion as a courtesy. All mine show in american sizes as well.
Def more time for patent to stretch. I would honestly recommend a shoe stretch for Patent or possibly leiting the cobbler stretch them out for you. I had a pair of patent Chanel pumps I could barely walk in they were SO tight. Once the cobbler got done they fit perfect!
My very first pair of mules from Ferragamo. Scored this at 50% off during their sales... I prefer my slides 1 size bigger so I opted for a full size up.
I own two vintage pairs of Ferragamo shoes – one is the Vara in regular black leather in a 7 AA and the other is the Dustodi heels in black patent leather. (Both were either thrift or estate sale finds.)
The flats are stiff in the upper section of my foot but my toes don't hit the ends. I've tried stuffing rolled tube socks in balls in the upper toe area to stretch them versus the frozen water bag trick and it doesn't seem to help. I've worn them once to work and it was horrible. No blisters, but it was hard to walk comfortably in them.
I've not tried the Dustodi pair in a long time, but they don't seem as bad.

I recently tried the Varina quilted ballet flats in a store and size 6.5 fit perfectly. I ordered a pair online; they just arrived but felt a bit too tight. Is this because the leather hasn't been "broken in" yet? I'm thinking that the ones in the store fit me better as they could have already been stretched out by many customers trying them on.
