Our shoes are made from suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

"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

Best shoes and the best customer service to help!

"Before ordering, I reached out to Margaux customer service to ask about sizing compared to the Marlowe loafer. Gracie recommended a 39W (I ordered the 38. 5 regular width in the Marlowe) which fits perfectly! Margaux’s leather is so high quality, comfortable, and gorgeous even as it wears in. The black crinkle gloss is so versatile and can be dressed up or down! I’m a Margaux customer for life!!"

— Kali K. (5/5)

Love special ordering styles

"It is hard to find stylish shoes in my size. Not only do you offer 11 narrow, but I have the ability to special order shoes in the styles I like. Thank you! I only wish these special orders would have a faster production time frame."

— Lynda C. (4/5)

Beautiful shoe

"I look forward to wearing these. In fact I try to build my outfit around the shoes whenever I can! I found they ran a bit small and narrow on me; I’m usually a 9/40, but had to go up to 40. 5 in wide. Fits perfectly. The exchange process was a breeze."

— April H. (5/5)

"Beautiful shoe. A bit more than I’d like to ordinarily pay, but hoping the quality will lend them a long life. The multiple widths available are a game changer. The python is a great neutral that bridges classic and statement piece. If I could afford it I’d possibly replace everything in my wardrobe with this brand!"

— Lisa (5/5)

Expensive, but worth it.

"Loved the softness of the suede and the elastic strap. It fits narrow, but true to size of the length."

— Man L. (5/5)

So comfortable

"I wore these all day right out of the box. Can’t believe how soft and comfortable these are. Will always be in my suitcase for travel, too."

— Anne K. (5/5)

"Incredibly comfortable and so cute! I did order a half size larger than usual based on comments from others. And they fit perfectly, like a pair of gloves for your feet."

— Deborah (5/5)

Super chic

"I wanted to love these shoes. They are a soft and very chic flat. I had to return because even the wide didn’t give my bunion enough space."

— Sarah P. (4/5)

At the risk of sounding

"At the risk of sounding too practical, I bought the Phoebe to have a second pair of comfortable shoes for a trade show where I walk 10-15K steps a day. The natural python bone-and-black design was just a style bonus. Without time to break them in, I added a pack of moleskin to my bag just in case. I returned, 55K steps later, never having broken out the moleskin or my other old "comfortable" shoes! Phoebe outperformed in every way. The natural python requires care not to scuff on concrete or get stepped on by your business partner, but the style is worth the care!"

— Bridget O. (5/5)

Gloves for the Foot

"Soft and luxurious feel. Truly hug your feet. These are perfect in narrow for a narrow foot. Hard to find a fit with such style."

— Elizabeth G. (5/5)
