Review: Sailor Kitty Mary Jane (T.U.K.)



Cerchi la versione in italiano? Salta alla fine del post!

Label: T.U.K.
Model: Sailor Kitty Mary Jane
I was looking for: a funny flat autumn/winter shoes to be used with jeans

Size: EU 38 (UK5 woman, US 7)

Date of purchase: 13 january 2013
Price: 38 £ + 10 £ of delivery (2 item purchased)
Coupon: -
Delivery time: 1 week and a half, arrived in Italy on 23 january 2013
Notes on the seller/e-shop: I contact T.U.K. USA before the order to ask about the material. The answer was very friendly and fast. They asked my opinion on the topic.
Payment: PayPal

Outsole: 100% rubber
Insole: 100% textile, warm
Upper: 100% PU, reinforced toes
Heel: 1,5 cm

First use: The upper bends everytime in the same point and it hurts the foot (see picture below). My big toes touches the end of the shoes, it doesn't hurt but it's a strange feeling of something just a little too short than expected.
I notice this model is narrow.
I used them at work (desk job) and for grocery shopping.


Further uses: no more pain on the bending point, nice to walk in

My opinion: Basing on my experience with steel toes (Airseal Para Boots of Vegetarian Shoes), I think that reinforced toes make the shoes little. So, if the label doesn't compensate changing the size labeling (T.U.K. doesn't while Vegetarian Shoes does), I would suggest to go up half a size. As said before, the model is narrow, not good if you have wide feet. Made in China.
