Since nappa leather is porous and absorbs water easily, avoid getting them wet. Getting the shoes soaking wet can irrevocably stain the leather.

Most quality shoe repair shops will offer products to polish, protect, and refresh the leather's surface. A neutral cream polish—one without color—will also help protect the surface from scuffs and scrapes and keep the leather hydrated. If something's spilled on the leather, try using a soft cloth with a small amount of cleanser or cream on it. Rub the surface in a circular motion, then allow the shoe to dry before buffing the entire thing lightly with a dry, clean cloth.

The FIT and FEEL of a Margaux woven is UNPARALLELED

Handwoven and constructed by a single artisan, each pair of woven shoes in our collection is a testament to the power of craft. The silhouette is designed to be effortlessly beautiful, but the feel truly comes down to the quality of the leather. It's vegetable-dyed and handoiled before being carefully woven with a traditional basketweave technique. The result? A fit that softly encases the foot with beautiful breathability.

Reviews

Quality shoes/Customer service

"I have been a fan of Margaux for a longtime. I love every shoe/sandal I buy because of the chic design and comfortability. The customer service always responds quickly and helps with any questions I have. Thanks for providing a quality product and caring about your customers!"

— Sandy T. (5/5)

Almost perfect

"Absolutely love the look and feel of these - super comfortable and versatile, light weight and easy to pack. Only complaint is there is zero traction on bottom, which is typical of flats, but I find myself slipping and sliding on certain floors in these. I typically wear a US 7 or 7. 5 medium width and I got these in US 7. 5."

— Andrea U. (4/5)

ADORABLE

"high quality so cute, love the shape of the toe not being perfectly round makes it more unique. I got Wide even though I never buy wide shoes because the others were so narrow your foot would be walking on the woven part of the show not the foot bed. so unless your feet are super narrow i'd opt for the wide fit."

— Stephanie H. (5/5)

Summer cute

"These shoes are very now for summer. I love this espresso color. It is important that the lace design is made in leather rather than rattan. I would have preferred a leather backing behind the lace for more support as I’ve seen in other brands. I will wear them to kick up my heels and not walk across Europe. !"

— Kathryn H. (4/5)

Fabulous Summer Shoes!

"Another beautiful pair of Margauxs shoes! These Maryjanes are a great summer alternative to sandals - light and airy, while still working for business wardrobe. Fit is great - consistent with my other Margaux pairs."

— Sue S. (5/5)

Love these

"Some of my favorite shoes (Margaux or otherwise) I've gotten in a long time. Super comfortable and breathable (crucial in the summer!) but still chic. The square toe adds a refined look to the shoes and you can walk all day in them."

— sam t. (5/5)

FonteyanJane

"I wanted to love these as I think they would work with everything summer. Bit they were a tad small and I thought the front part showed the toe creases too much. I like the toe area to be all covered. Maybe I should just try the larger size."

— Carolyn K. (5/5)

Style & Comfort

"These sandals are so comfortable to walk in and they are adorable. True to size and they do stretch a little bit after use. Best part is I did not have to break them in, I was able to walk a mile to dinner first time I wore them."

— Claudia U. (5/5)

Love These

"First order from Margaux and in love with these! They are pretty comfortable and feel like they dress up outfits for work or play. I wear a 9. 5 in most shoes, but like to size up in boots / running shoes to a 10. I got these in a 40. 5 which was perfect."

— Samantha P. (5/5)

Seriously great!

"I feel like most of these woven summer sandals you find in this material are going to be flimsy and unsubstantial. These feel cushiony, supportive, and genuinely well made. LOVE the wide width - I was on the fence between medium and wide width and these are so comfy. Never have worn shoes so widely inclusive for wider feet! I could live in these"

— Liza M. (5/5)
