Overall: Totally happy with the Lucille’s in black.
Details: These are gorgeous, stylish and well-made shoes. The black leather contrasts nicely with the black velveteen and satin laces, and makes them more interesting than other similar all-black shoes.
Sizing and Comfort: I bought size 9 and am a true 9B. The length is true to size, but they definitely run tight across the width at the toes and ball of the foot – something I suspect will resolve itself with wear as the leather stretches. If you have any concerns about sizing consider going up a half-size, (you can always pad them out with inserts if they stretch too much), but – unless you have really wide feet – I suspect a full size up would end up being too big after some wear. Once they’re worn in, I think the Lucille’s will be very wearable, as the heel height and placement is very comfortable and they are supportive and easy to walk in, (although there isn’t a lot of padding in the soles, so IDK how they’d go if you were on your feet all day?!)
Customer Service/Delivery: Excellent delivery, very quick from US to Australia via DHL, (within a week). Packaging good. AD included a spare set of heel stops and an extra pair of black laces, which are appreciated.
Conclusion: 5 stars. If you are on the fence – just buy them, because I really don’t see how anyone could be disappointed with these shoes.
