I could wear these all long day and feel comfortable! I have rather narrow feet, and there is enough room for really thick stockings in a winter season too. I love the look of the boots and especially the pointy toe design. The only small minus is that the outer soles are slippery so you need to walk more carefully on risky surfaces - even when walking inside e.g. office building with carpets inside.
I bought size 37EU, that I normally buy.
These will be my fall boots mainly to skirts and dresses.
Thank you for your lovely review of our Alice boots, we're happy to hear that they are both comfortable and stylish. Our boots are made with leather soles just like they originally were back then. As soon as you start to use them on rougher pavement or pebbles, the soles will roughen up and become less slippery. It is also possible to add rubber soles underneath if you like, this is easily done by a cobbler and usually deosn't cost that much. Happy walking!

These shoes are beautiful. Bought to look smart with a dress or skirt and still be able to walk miles. Perfect heel height to fit the bill.
Dear Moira. We're happy to hear that you're loving our Emma oxfords. It's great to know that they're not only stylish but also comfortable enough for long walks. Best Ditte
That's lovely to hear. Best Ditte
As a girl with bigger feet and a love of beautiful shoes, I have a hard time finding anything that fits but my berks. I’m between a size 10-11 US women’s, but tend toward the 10.5-11 side. I used the size guide provided for these, chose a size 10 Wide (I don’t have wide feet, but saw some people say these run narrow), and they fit like a dream! I actually squealed with happiness when I put them on, and saw not only did they fit, but they looked good too. So thankful to have found a shop with beautiful, high-quality shoes where I know my size. Time to buy more shoes!!!
Dear Maeve. We're happy to hear that our Ida shoes fit you perfectly and made you so happy.
Thank you for your kind review. Best Ditte
Hi Suzanne. How lovely to hear that the Helen sandals are perfect for dancing tango. Best Ditte
These are perfect. Once again I wore them straight out of the box. They are do warm and comfy, whilst still looking stylish. Has a woman arthritis in her feet Memery is always my go too.
HI Claire. We're happy to hear that you love our Rita snow boots. We strive to provide both style and comfort, and we're so glad we could exceed your expectations. Best Ditte
Hi Erika. We areglad to hear that our Britta boots are the perfect dance shoe for you. Happy dancing! Best Ditte
Hi Erika,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear that you love our Britta boots. Best Ditte
Beautifully made. Dark navy. They come up a little narrow so not great if you have standard/standard wide fitting. I struggle with the button closures. Wish there was an alternative option for those of us who are disabled. I would love to be able to do up my own shoes! Super quality and great to have replacement heels for future repairs. I knew it was a long fulfillment date, but disappointed when the promised date came and went with no update. I got a quick response once I chased, but shame I had to chase.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Ruby shoes, I'm happy to hear you find them beautifully made. Our shoes are based ona regular width (B width), but sometimes the design of the shoe can affect the fit a bit. Our shoes are made of leather, so in time they will expand a bit and soften up. The same applies for the hole in the leather strap used to close the button, in time they hole will expand a bit and soften up and it will be easier to close with the button. We do have other models which are closed wiht either a buckle or laces, and we'll be happy to guide you if you like.
I'm sorry to hear we crossed the fullfillment date of the delivery. We are currently struggeling with the changing tariffs, but we strive to have our shoes arrive on time and to keep you as updated as it is possible for us, but I'm sorry to hear if you felt you needed to chase an update. Thank you for the feedback, I'll take it with me further.

So soft and comfortable, these shoes are perfect for walking and all-day wear.
Hi Patricia.
How lovely to hear that the Eleanor shoes have become your new favorite shoes. Best Ditte
Here's my out-of-the-box review, having just put these on. I found that the "Tom" boot runs small and narrow, probably because it's based on a vintage shoe design. Having wide feet, I found I had to go up a size (13 instead of 12). They are very hard to put on at first because the leather is thin (not to say insubstantial or too delicate, just thinner and floppier than my modern boots). I had to remove all the lacing, put the boots on that way, and then re-lace them to get them on. You will definitely need a shoehorn, at least at first, and the boots don't have speed hooks for the top couple of eyelets like modern boots so they may take a bit longer to put on. That being said, I suspect these boots are going to fit like a glove and be very comfortable once they've been worn a bit and broken in, because the thinner leather will mold to my foot. A word to the wise -- they are very slippery at first because of the smooth leather soles. Mette kindly put in an extra set of laces and a small piece of sandpaper to roughen up the soles, and I suggest you do this once you are satisfied with the fit. Lovely boots and I think I am really going to like wearing them with my period suits.
Hi Rusty.
Thank you for your review of our Tom boots, I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying them. We always advise to measure your feet according to our size guide for the best fit, as there is more than one standard for converting shoe sizes. Our boots are made of leather, so in time they will expand a bit and soften up.
We chose to stay true to original designs wihch also means we don't use speed hooks for the lacing. It may take some time at the beginning, but in time it will become eaiser to lace up. It is not needed to unlace the entire boots to get in and out, we have made a blog post on how to lace up boots the easiest way which you can read here: https://memery.us/blogs/material/how-to-lace-edwardian-boots-the-authentic-way-no-zippers-needed
I hope you will continue to enjoy your new botos very much.

Ich habe selten einen Schuh erlebt, der sofort so bequem am Fuß sitzt. Nun weiss ich, warum alle schwärmen, die Schuhe von memery tragen.
Wunderschöne Schuhe. Habe lange nach Spectators in dieser Farbkombination gesucht.
Dear Stefan.
We are happy to hear that the Charles spectators fit you like a glove after you have been searching for this color combination for a long time. Best Ditte
Love the design, however the fitting is very poor. Originally ordered standard fit but needed to exchange for wide fitting despite not having a particularly wide foot. Took a long time for the second pair to be delivered. Do not recommend for the price
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Luise pumps. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the fitting of the shoes. You're always welcome to write to us if you ahve any questions regaridng fitting, also after you're received the shoes, we'll be more than happy to help you find the right size and wether or not you need a wide fit. Some people are not aware of the fact that a wide fitting shoe would fit them better, and are used to buying regular width shoes in one or two sizes up to accomodate for the width.
We also offer a free 1:1 video call with us, where we can answer any questions you may have regaridng the size and fitting of our models. You can book here: https://memery.co.uk/pages/1-1-session-with-team-memery

I hope you will reconsider giving us another try, we'll be happy to help you.

Dear Stefanie. Thank you for your kind words, we're so glad you love our Britta boots. Best Ditte
I love these shoes, they are beautiful quality, comfortable and glamorous - I have an old foot injury and can no longer wear many heeled shoes - but these are a dream. I only wish this style was also in black and red (my fave colours!)
Hi Tanya. How lovely that the Marlene shoes are comfortable and glamorous for you and you can finally wear heels again. We're constantly developing our models, so perhaps you'll see them in red and black some day in the future. Best Ditte
Dear Tania. We're thrilled to hear that you love your new Elliot shoes and have been receiving compliments. Best Ditte
Thank you for your kind review. Best Ditte
I love these shoes, I keep taking them out of the box to look at them! They fitas though they were made just for me.
Love the website, I just want all the shoes now!
Dear Alison. Thank you for your kind review. We're so glad to hear that you love our Lucy pumps, it's lovely to know that they feel like they were made just for you. Best Ditte
I am absolutely love my new Yvonne shoes from Memery. Would highly recommend purchasing these shoes.
That's wonderful to hear. Thank you for your ecommendation, we hope you continue to enjoy wearing your Yvonne pumps. Best Ditte
Beautiful design shoe: pretty without being twee, sturdy without looking clumpy. Comfortable heel. Would be lovely to see this in more colours!
Hi Alison. We're so glad to hear that you love the design of our Alma pumps. We're constantly developing our shoes, so perhaps you'll see the Alma in more colors in the future. Best Ditte
I absolutely love them I also have a blue pair. They are so comfy. I am a EU 37 UK 4eee the Ella EU37 UK4 are too narrow but the EU38 UK5 fit perfectly.
Dear Julie. We're so glad to hear that you love your new suede Ella sandals in red. It's great to know that they are comfortable for you and you could accomodate the width, by going up a size. Best Ditte
Had my eye on these for a while, and was finally able to get them. They are everything I hoped and more! Literally the perfect low-heeled oxford, I love them so much!
Also one of my favorite things about Memery is that they include extra laces and a heel pad/sole! I cannot tell you how amazing that is, because the quality of these shoes is so great that you really do wear them for years, and having the perfectly matched heel makes that longer term upkeep so easy. Thank you Memery for this dedication to true quality!!
Hi Elena. Thank you for your wonderful review of our Eleanor Derby shoes. We're happy to hear that they exceeded your expectations and that you appreciate the extra laces and heel pad. Best Ditte
I waited for my shoes (Esther, black suede) as they were out of stock, but they were well worth the wait !
I love vintage style fabric for my going out clothes and the comments I've had about them and asked were they were from which I've gladly passed on. No they're not cheap but they are an investment buy and I've never worn such comfortableshoes.Needlessto say I'm saving up for my next pair ( asking my children for cash for Christmas and future birthdays.
Hi Kate.
Thank you so much for your review. We're happy to hear that the Esther shoes you pre ordered were well worth the wait and that you love the suede leather.
We're happy to hear that you've received compliments on your shoes and that you've recommended them to others.

These shoes are beautifully crafted and built to last. I'm typically a US10/EU41. Sized down to US9/EU40 per other reviews, and that left my feet snug but supported. I think a 40.5 would have fit better, if memery did half sizes. Unfortunately, my long toes do get squished in the front (see photos), but I feel better about wearing in too-snug shoes than too-loose shoes for dancing. I find shoes with a strap across the ankles often irritate the skin or joint of my ankles, but these are a dream! That strap is still there to support the shoe without causing my feet any distress. My first time wearing them (aside from try-on) was to a wedding, and they're great for dancing but I did need to take them off halfway through the night to prevent blistering - my feet aren't tough enough for hours of dancing anymore. The soft but durable soles held up great. They picked up a little black and aren't worn away.
Dear Nienke. We are glad to hear that you love your new Susan evening sandals and found the ankle straps to be comfortable and supportive. Our shoes are made of leather, so in time they will expand and soften up. We do also offer the gold Susan sandals in a wide fit for more space around the toe box. We hope you had a great time dancing at the wedding and we appreciate your review. Best Ditte
