Cute, lightweight
Nai Saelee
It's taken about 4 wears to break into these shoes, needs an insert to keep my feet from sliding inside. Can only walk on these an hour at most.

These shoes are stunners. The kind of shoes that people stop and ask you about! And to top it off so freaking comfortable. These are my second pair of Labucq's and now it's my go-to-brand!

My shoes arrived quickly and they are beautiful but huge!! I am always a 38 but will have to size down. Unfortunately I can’t exchange them for the price I bought them for.

Quick elivery! Very stylish, yet functional. Wore on a trip to the cabin & Downtown out to dinner! Easy to get on & off..(a big deal for me) Nice weight.....not too heavy but a Kool combat vive. ,

Goods outweigh bad - I think?
Barbara Pitts
The aesthetic of the shoe is nice. After a few wearings, they are very comfortable. They run TTS with a slight edge towards being a bit bigger than TTS. The laces are a complete nightmare. They are leather and will not stay tied, even with double-knots. The laces are part of the aesthetic so replacing them would defeat the look of the shoe. If you don’t mind tying your shoes every 15 minutes, these shoes are very cute and worth the money.

I wrote of review earlier and just realized I only rated one star. That was a Mistake. Buddy is my favorite shoe. Wear an 8.5 and purchased the 9 and is perfect.

Christa Palazzolo
yup, they’re pricey, but worth every penny! i normally can’t wear derbies because my feet are so flat/thin, but these feel great. i wear a 9-9.5 & got the 40 & they fit perf.

Buddy oh buddies!

These shoes are the dream. They have the style of a popular stomping book company with the comfort and elegance of Labucq. They are lightweight, the leather is thick and fabulous, and the threading details around the soles is amazing. I love the extra attention to detail and did I mention these are comfortable? Love love love. Also always I’ve the packaging and dust bag.

Worth the splurge
Carolina
This is the most expensive pair of shoes I’ve ever bought (even on sale) but as soon as I tried them on I knew they were worth the $$! As well as looking amazing they are super comfortable. I recently sold my docs because after countless wears they were still stiff, heavy and hurt my feet. By contrast the sole on these is fabulously light and they are immediately comfy. Woo! I was a bit nervous about sizing because I have 2 different size feet ( 9-9.5 ish). Went with the advice on here and sized down to 39 and they are perfect. I have narrow feet and there’s no slippage if you do up the laces nice n snug :)

A great classic shoe

Love this shoe, very comfortable, stable and supportive. And a great height to take you from a casual work day to a more dressed-up look.

A+ Sole Support
Pamela Garavano-Coolbaugh
Love these shoes. The thick sole gives me the support I was looking for. Unlike a few other reviewers, I did need a few walks to break them in – an ambitious first 3-mile journey did give me a blister. Now, however, they are my go-to walk around the city shoes.

so excited about these
Olivia Judkins
i’m typically a US size 8 and i went with the 38, these shoes seem to run a little long, so it worked out perfectly. i was torn between getting the black or the white buddies for so long and finally settled on white. and i love them. so excited to style them with things... though i find myself also wanting the black ones now haha... service and shipping was quick and easy. super quality product

Very Comfortable
Anonymous
These are incredibly comfortable and exactly as described: a dressed-up sneaker. I typically find this style of shoe (brogues, etc.) to be too snug and uncomfortable to wear with socks, but you can wear these with socks like a sneaker, which is what I was looking for without having to get docs. I did find them a little long but don't think I can go down a size. I'm between a 40 and 41 and got the 41. I love them overall.

Beautiful leather!
Destiny Franks
These shoes came really quickly and were so beautiful. They did seem to run slightly big, so I had to return them for a smaller size. I'm typically a 7 so I opted for the 38s, but returned them for the 37s.

Beautiful Comfortable Shoe
Suchandra Bullock
I love all of my Labucq shoes. They are comfortable, stylish and fashion forward. It is hard to find a shoe that hits all points for me but these really knock it out of the park. I work on my feet all day and there are nothin but pure butter on my feet. Highly recommended.

I love these shoes. The quality is fantastic and they elevate every simple outfit. Highly recommend. My only feedback would be on the laces which I’m worried will break.

Absolutely in love!
Kendall Chase
These shoes arrived and were even better than expected! Sometimes shoes like this can be chic but uncomfortable, but not these! I love the soft leather and squishy sole, the shoes are extremely comfortable and I’ve worn them at least once a week since purchasing. HUGE fan of Labucq now!! Also I am typically a US 9 but can be between a 39 and 40 when it’s European sizing and I ended up taking a 39 — hope that helps with fit questions!

Beautiful, quirky, very well-made shoe I fell in love with right out of the box. Unfortunately, for me they run a little big. I wear a 8.5 so I ordered a 39 and found them to be a little long. I've exchanged them for a 38, so hopefully they won't be too tight. That said, if it does t work out, you can find me in the Caro boot :D

These shoes are extremely well made and so comfortable. The fit is true to size. I’m in love and can’t wait for my next pair.

Love these but they run big. Half sizes are not available, so I had to return.
Anne Tallon
My experience has been fantastic. So glad I found Labucq. I wish half sizes were available- I seem to be between sizes. Returns were no problem.

No refund / poor fit, poor architecture
Ashley Eddleman
I returned my shoes and still have not received a refund. They are beautiful but they are not architected well, it’s a very soft leather on a very stiff piece of foam, this causes a lot of “sliding around” in the shoes even though, they are the correct size, the fit was awful. Very pretty, but not realistic to actually wear at all. Cannot imagine wearing these one day in nyc

I love these
Emily Music
I’ve really enjoyed this brand. I bought the green kitty loafers, and I was so impressed, I bought these for an easy day to day shoe. I live in nyc and i walk alllll the time so these are great, because they’re light, and they look super polished. love them! i need to cut myself off from this brand cause it’s pricey but I do love their stuff.

Such well constructed shoes and attention is in the details!! I’m on my second pair. Certainly not my last pair.

Stunners
SíSíSí
I love these casual kicks which are the perfect not-too-bright shade of white. I think they run true to size . Without a sock they were a little roomy but fine once I socked-up. The waxed shoe laces were coming untied but I - no joke- watched a TED Talk about how to tie my shoes correctly and it solved the problem. The only real problem now is that they’re so cute and versatile, I also yearn for a pair in black.

Comfiest loafers ever
Guiselle Franco
I have tried so many Dr Martens and found them to be so uncomfortable. Tried these on a whim and boy I have not taken them off. As always with Labucq the quality is there. Even down to the leather laces. I find them to be extremely comfortable even on my first wear.

Really poor quality for the price and bad refund policy
Bella
Although the website says these shoes are real calf leather, they look and feel like pleather. The laces and the lace holes feel very chintzy. These are the type of shoes that will look worn and crease within three wears. In addition to the poor quality, the 2-week refund policy is ridiculous because these shoes didn't get delivered until more than a month after the order date. Therefore, upon seeing them and trying them on, there is no way that I can still return them. This is a horrible waste of money and feels like a scam. You'd be better off buying shoes for $20 from Target.
