Guide Review - Peter Fox Shoes

When you walk into this small store, you'll know that you're here for one thing only- exquisite Italian-made shoes available only in a handful of styles. While many stores these day offer dyeable wedding shoes at a fraction of Peter Fox's prices, you won't find any better made than these Victorian inspired shoes. Brides who have worn them rave about their long lasting comfort - there's nothing that will rub, break, or irritate on their silk surface. You'll feel like a queen wearing them, as long as you can deal with being a pauper after buying them! If you visit the store, or another store that carries Peter Fox, note the french seams and careful stitching. I was impressed with how sturdy the straps were, even when appearing delicate. Peter Fox Shoes have been worn in countless movies, television shows, and theatrical productions (including the recent Miramax film, Chicago) because of their classic styling and long-lasting comfort.

Peter Fox Shoes' Customer Service is Amazing!, Member dga120764

This is my second wedding and I decided that I was going to have a pair of high-quality, comfortable shoes in which I could dance the night away with my new husband. A friend of ours pointed me to Peter Fox Shoes in New York. I checked out the website and found a lovely pair of silk heels on sale that were within my budget. I called Peter Fox and was disappointed to learn that those shoes were out of stock in my size. However, Lydia offered to go out to the warehouse and see what she could find. Voila! She found the shoes in my size but the soles were scuffed. Lydia offered me a deeper discount and free dying. Great! Unfortunately, upon deeper inspection, I noticed that the silk was fraying on the one shoe. I sent them back to Lydia who, in turn, sent me two loaner pairs of two different shoe styles (on the honor system) and took the shoes that I had bought to her repair people to see if they can be fixed. I am in love with one pair of the new shoes and I am going to buy them instead (the heels are lower and they are more comfortable than the other ones). I can't say enough about the high level of service and the quality of the product (despite the issues with my first pair of shoes) that I received from Lydia at Peter Fox. I highly recommend them!
