I feel so stylish in these numbers! Esp looks great with a sassy sock. Wore them traipsing around the city last night, first time wear and no sore feet. Love!
I adore these shoes! The design is gorgeous and I love that the toe box is quite roomy. I am optimistic every time I put them on, but every time I am left with blisters on the sides of my heels and orange feet from the lining.
Brenna, rad friend! Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about our Monae Buckle Shoe in Black Crush. We're thrilled to hear that you adore the design and appreciate the roomy toe box, but we're truly sorry to learn about the discomfort and staining issues you're experiencing.
At Radical Yes, we strive to create footwear that's not only beautiful but also practical for everyday wear, so it's particularly disappointing to hear about the blisters forming on your heels and the colour transfer from the lining. We understand how frustrating it must be to have shoes you love aesthetically but can't wear comfortably.
For the heel rubbing, we recommend trying the hair dryer hack to help soften up the leather: Blow some heat around the shoes with a hair dryer on low setting, wear the warm shoes with a pair of socks and walk around the house until they cool down (repeat for a few days). This technique can help the leather soften and mold to your foot shape more comfortably.
Alternatively you can also apply beeswax leather shoe polish around the edges of the shoes and massage it to soften and lubricate the leather, making the leather more supple and flexible.
Your feedback about the colour transfer from the lining is particularly valuable to us. We have flagged this with our factory and are currently looking into the colour drop issues. We highly recommend wearing the slip ons with dark coloured socks a few times until the excess dye comes off.
We take these insights seriously and will be sharing them with our production team as we continue to refine our materials and manufacturing processes for future collections.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your honest thoughts - it helps us understand how our shoes perform in real-world situations and guides our ongoing commitment to creating comfortable, stylish footwear.
Cheers, Team Rad x
I walk a lot so wanted a cute shoe that was comfortable, and these are perfect!!
Comfortable and they look amazing on. So versatile, and l wear with pants or skirts.
These are the most comfortable shoes. I will live in these for my Northern Winters and they dress up an outfit perfectly. Usual RY size.
