Our embossed shoes are made from a python-embossed Italian calf leather. Calf leather is not water-resistant, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion.

"I wish I could tell you these aren’t addictive and leather perfection, but they just are. Like a driving gloves, for your feet. "
Megan C.

Deconstructed elegance that you'll LIVE IN

We designed The Phoebe to feel as if you're wearing nothing at all. It's deconstructed elegance at its very best, with a sacchetto construction that fits and feels like a glove. Modern lines feel both of the moment and utterly timeless, and a thin elastic band over the foot is the ultimate in form and function.

Reviews

Great fall shoes!

"I’d been eyeing these shoes last year and they sold out in my size. So excited to see them offered again this year. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size the first time, but the exchange for the correct size could not have been easier. Now the weather needs to cool off a bit so I can wear them! Would love it if there was a physical store in NYC where I could try on shoes to assure of correct size first time!"

— Margaret D. (5/5)

My new favorite shoe. No

"My new favorite shoe. No breaking in needed, immediately wore these on a day that I was on my feet all day. No pinching, or rubbing - cushioned footbed and super soft leather and lightweight made for a perfect day of standing in these shoes. I will definitely buy this style again. Love the burgundy - which is more brownish than red. Very versatile."

— Andrea J. (5/5)

Most Comfortable Shoe Brand Ever!

"This brand has the most comfortable shoes ever! I have bad feet, so when I find a brand that is comfortable I am so happy. These are so cute and feel like heaven on my feet. I bought the narrow in the sandals, but the medium in these fit great. Do not hesitate to buy a pair. I now have several and are my favorite shoes to grab and no breaking in period!"

— Kim D. (5/5)

Leopard suede

"Unfortunately I just could not get these beautiful shoes to fit my feet. I started with an 8 (my usual size) and my heel just kept slipping out. Exchanged for a 7.5 and they pinched on my Achilles. Exchanged for an 8N and they were just too narrow. Ultimately this style just wasn’t for me. Margaux made returns easy although slow. The search continues!"

— Bente H. (5/5)

amazing flat

"Such a comfy shoe - the inside has a nice cushion, the shape of the soft square toe is so nice and i love the mary jane strap to keep the shoe tight on the foot. time will tell on how the leather stretches / lasts but i have a good feeling"

— Emma H. (5/5)

Excellent customer service.

"I reached out to customer service when I had not received my order after some time. They immediately found that it was held up in Georgia and sent me the same item which I received in two days. Excellent customer service! Also, these shoes are so cute and comfortable I plan to order them in other colors. I highly recommend."

— Erin L. (5/5)

Needs no breaking in

"Bought these for a trip to France. The perfect walking around shoe for usual tourist activities. My feet run wide and tried both regular and wide sizes at the store and went with a wide knowing I’d be walking in them a lot. Would recommend for a cute walking shoe with super soft leather."

— Virginia F. (5/5)

Too Narrow and Not Worth the Money

"Very soft and would be an incredibly chic and flattering fit if they weren’t so, so tight. I routinely buy wide-fit shoes, and I was so excited to see that Margaux offers wide-fit shoes. But they are very, very narrow and tight. They SQUEAK when I walk! I trimmed my TOENAILS to see if it would help, and it doesn’t! The length is generous, but the width is sorely lacking. Very soft leather, and it feels high quality to the touch. Beautiful shoes, but only accessible to those with narrow feet."

— Breea G. (3/5)

1st Margaux Purchae

"Looove the phoebes! I was hoping to have the same experience as others do, not needing to break them in at all. I’m a solid 7 1/2 sometimes a wide, so that’s what I purchased. There’s still a bit snug after wearing for a few hours— but it was also pretty hot that day so I may have been a tad swollen 😅 Nonetheless I can tell they’re such high quality and have my eye on two other pairs!"

— Alegria A. (4/5)

"Genuinely the most comfortable shoes that I own! I got my regular size (37.5) but decided to listen to the reviews saying the shoes run a bit narrow and got a wide rather than my typical medium. That seems to have been the right decision since these fit like a glove. 10/10 love these and am considering getting some in a different color"
