I admit this Oran doesn’t make my already-not-pretty-toes unpretty so I’m so happy I sold them away after wearing for more than a year.

I personally don’t want to wear something that looks nice on others only. At this price I expect it to make me fly (almost [emoji23]).

I need to add on yours really look fine! But most importantly you feel comfy and right in those.

Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for your advice [emoji259][emoji272][emoji254]
I didn’t put them on again since two days when I tried them for a few seconds, I saw the toes and put them back in their box again [emoji29]
I think I have to try them on again and see if it bothers me really that much or not [emoji29]
And I have the option to compare them to half a size up when they will come in
If I am still not that 100% happy I think I should exchange them unfortunately [emoji17] too much money for a Sandal that doesn’t make me 100% happy

I had a similar issue with the Orans and determined that this style does not work for me. You can try a half size up, but you might find that your foot slides too far forward, which would cause it to overlap the front of the footbed. I now try to stick with thong type sandals that hold the foot in place, like the Corfou.

My best advice is this: don't settle. If you have to convince yourself that the fit doesn't bother you much, you will never truly be happy. Orans aren't seasonal- they will always be around. You have plenty of time to find something you are truly happy with, and you can always find a pair of Orans if you decide you just have to have a pair.

Thank you so so much my dear for sharing your story and your opinion to that [emoji92][emoji92][emoji92]
Thank you very much for your honest and very sweet words too [emoji177][emoji177]
I really love the style so much!!! But you are right, I have to be truly happy otherwise it really makes no sense for me to have them just to have them [emoji29][emoji17]
I will share my decision when I decide what I want to do or not [emoji259]

Just as a suggestion, take a look at these H sandals (saw them in store & website)
Olympe, Nude, Lisboa & Omaha.. they may have more eye appeal for you

I bought my first pair of Oran sandals. Wore them once and they broke they wouldn’t take them back or give me a new pair but told me to send them to Paris for repair. The atelier in Paris is closed until September so I won’t be able to use them all summer. I am so sad right now.

They told me it was most likely a production error. I mean of course it is who breaks shoes the first day?!

Thanks @renet
The heels is not very high though, however I have not see it in flats in store yet.
I wore it to work today and sadly I am having blister on my leg now
I think it is abit tight for me and probably I should have get half a size bigger. I need to do something to the leather for it to break in perhaps.

Quick update on switch pump I owned - the shoes are getting more comfortable after it get to season abit. Love the comfortableness of this beauty

How’s that possible? They should give you a new pair.

That's terrible and does not sound right. I would go to the SM and try again, if no luck write to head office and get something in writing.

Hi elly_fong, how's the front bit of the shoe? I was looking at the bootie version, but the front part of the shoe looked narrow so I am hesitating....How's the band on top? is it stretchy?

 

[innerpeace85]

I tried Paris loafers in my usual size 36.5 and also half size up in 37. I found 36.5 to be snug on the toe area on right foot but in 37 my right foot kept popping out. Do Paris loafers stretch out with time or should I get 37 and add insole to them? Are they comfortable for work? Thanks!

Hi @TresBeauHermes, the front part of the shoe fit nicely for me. My only problem was having blister on the back of my feet for my first worn.
The strap is stretchable so I can just slip in my feet without removing it, and it lies comfortably on top of the feet without any pressure. HTH

Thank you elly-fong! VERY helpful! You poor thing with the blister! I hate that! Thank you for the info! I was worried about the straps but it sounds very comfortable! It looks fantastic on you! (there's an extra emoji at the bottom of this msg but it's not showing up on edit (I didn't put it there) and I can't take it off! Sorry! pls ignore!)
