Ilse Jacobsen

Tulip 140Wom

Women's

These shoes are incredibly small. I usually wear a size 10. Knowing that Ilse Jacobsen runs small I ordered a size 11 / 41. Oh my....they felt like I was trying to squeeze my foot into a size 8 shoe. I am so disappointed. Back they go.

I have the original tulip in nearly every color. I love these shoes. Lightweight, just enough support for normal arch foot to walk all day, fun colors that go with everything dress up or down and most important - so packable and machine wash returns to like new for more than a year. My navy pair finally started to look a little faded after over 2 years of constant wear and washing. I went to reorder and saw these. Love the style - a bit more traditional and great with casual trousers. I am a 9 but order a 40 in the original because I like a less snug fit - my toes hit the front of the 39 - they run a bit small. 40’s stretch a bit but washing returns them to shape and they are easy on and off. In this style the 40 was too big so I returned and got the 39. Perfect - fits more like the original style in 40 on me. I thunk I will be buying the black pair. It is such a versatile shoe and easy to travel in or pack.

Love the tulip shoe by Ilse Jacobsen and especially this modified design with the elastic around the opening. The elastic closes the opening to help the shoe feel more secure on my narrow foot. Have 3 pair of an earlier design and can wear them all day on my feet in great comfort. In the perfect world she will release one w/o holes that I can wear into colder seasons. BTW: receive compliments frequently and have converted others into fans of the shoes.

Wish wish wish these came in half sizes. The Euro 40 is a it big and the Euro 39 is a bit short! Love the shoes. Perfect for summet
