FIFI

Women's

I've been wearing this Pliner style shoe for 5+ years. The shoe is no longer made in Italy where the construction and quality was top notch. I found this shoe to look cheaper, feel cheaper and make an unpleasant sound when walking. Thankfully my old Italian pair is still in good condition. I would not recommend this shoe.

Sorry I had to return this Fifi as it does not fit as well as the older Fifi made in Italy. My older shoe is 4-5 years and still looks good, although the thong piece has stretched out a little. If you've never worn the earlier version, perhaps you would be satisfied with this version made in China. Just seems like a cheap version of the earlier Fifi!

I really loved the design of this shoe, but unfortunately the footbed is (strangely) narrow. I wear a 9.5 in regular width, and the length was perfect, but too narrow. I am sad because I have been eyeing these shoes for a long time, but they are too expensive not to fit correctly so they are being returned. Also, the footbed material sticks to your feet and makes a "sucking" sound, every time you take a step -- I think it would be better if that material was leather or suede.

extremely dissatisfied - I have had a pair of "original" Fifi's that I purchased from another site - I should have known these weren't right when I saw the box - my original box stated "made in the mountains of Italy" - this box? Says they are made elsewhere - and aren't they just! way too narrow on the foot bed, and I have a standard sized foot - not wide or fat - so disappointed as I was replacing the last pair that I wore to shreds literally - sending back asap and so not worth the money.
