Antaina - Sweet Lolita Shoes Size 42-45

They fit perfectly at the size i normally wear and the build quality is really solid.

For the price, the shoes were really solid! A bit tight at the toes at size 42, but right everywhere else — though I do have wider feet, so be aware of that when buying. Still relatively comfortable and really cute!

Prepare for a love letter !

For reference and context, I wear a womens size 10 US in pretty much everything (converse, vans, name it) apart from doc martens in which I wear a size 9. And, I have wide feet. So, you could guess I was very excited when I found perfect tea parties in my size ! AND at a great price ! Over the course of a year. I've bought two different pairs and I am HIGHLY satisfied.
1 - Sizing.
The size chart is accurate ! I measured my feet at 26.5 cm. For my first pair, the red ones, I foolishly sized up just in case to a size 47. My mistake ! They fit around 2 sizes too big. However, I can still wear them with big insoles. : D

For my second pair, I chose a size 44 (so, 0.5 cm longer than my feet) and they fit PERFECT ! And, even with my wide feet, they're comfortable. So definitely follow it accurately.

2- Quality.
I have nothing bad to say. The hardware is solid, the leather doesn't peel, the sole is great and the bows are well stuck in their places.

2- Overall fit, colour, durability, etc

I was worried the proportions would look weird, like clown shoes, with my size, but the proportions are great ! The colours look good. I'd only have to say that the red is slightly more cherry red than the picture, and the blue is a tinyyyyy bit more greenish, however it's still a good baby blue that fits with my blue dress, it doesn't look mint. Last good point- you can adjust the size of the straps with the buckles, but the actual closure is a hidden clip-on, which is really pratical when you have a petticoat in the way when bending to put them on !

Only true negative I would need to say is that they scuff pretty easily. To be fair, I'm very clumsy, and I haven't tried removing the scuffs with a magic eraser yet, so yeah. The positives definitely outweigh the negative, though.

4- Shipping, .
WOW ! Even though it says up to 2 months of wait, I only waited 2 weeks for both pairs (a year apart!) and a few more days for them to arrive. VERY very impressed.

5- Confort.
I have only great things to say ! I have worn them 3 days straight at a convention with no issues!! I feel like that's the ultimate test, hahahahah. Yes, I did feel sore at the end of the day, but that's to be expected. Otherwise, they didn't hurt me and the straps didn't rub wrong. I also walked a whole pride parade last year with no problems at all while wearing them !

Overall, I'm just very pleased and happy that I could finally find some good shoes in my size!

I sized up one size in these and they fit really well. The quality is excellent.

Finding cute shoes in our size has always been a big issue; so when we found these we were hopeful this would change.
Not only do they fit well but they are very cute, got many compliments about them and they worked super well with our co-od at the time. The buckles attach via buttons which is great if like me you struggle with buckles too.
Only issue were with the ankle strap; it is only just long enough for me and we would recommend sizing up 1-2 sizes if you have wide feet, but those were minor issues and we would strongly recommend these to Lolita's with big feet.
