Which size is best for me? I recommend following the size chart located under the "Choose Size" box.
Wide or Regular - Which width to choose if both are available? Wide styles are two sizes up in width compared to the regular size. I recommend choosing wide shoes if you usually buy wide-style shoes. My wide styles are an EEE size.
Try at home is my concept. I want you to be happy with your new memery shoe.
Exchange: Should you wish to exchange to another size, please register it at my Return Center, and your order will be sent as soon as possible.
Refund: If you wish to do a refund - No worries I have a money-back guarantee if you would like to return your order. Just return the shoes through my Return Center, and I will do a refund when they arrive back to me.
Memery is a shoe brand that produces vintage-style shoes and knitwear inspired by the Edwardian era, the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, in contemporary sizes and with great comfort. Original vintage shoes are often worn out, narrow, and uncomfortable.
Memery shoes have the same elegant designs and details as original vintage shoes (very important to me). Still, at the same time, they are due to the soft soles and breathable materials very comfortable. In addition, memery has a wide range of sizes to suit everyone. For you who love vintage shoes, memery is an excellent choice. The shoes are also a good choice if you are looking for feminine, classic, plain shoes. The shoes are great for all fashions, styles, everyday wear, weddings and party dresses.
Feel free to ask me any questions.

Before I wore them, I had a rubber sole added to the sole (heel already rubber). First day, I wore them for 10 hours (a bit of urban walking and teaching for 6 hours) - with only a bit of pinching near my big toe. The very next day, as my feet felt fine, I wore them (same situation) for 7 hours. SO COMFY, and so dang cute! And let me say that I do not have young feet, though I do have feet that like to flex while walking. I look forward to the leather softening and molding to my feet over time, and I am delighted that I finally made this purchase! Fit is true to size for me!
Hi,
We’re delighted the shoes feel like such a great match! Thank you for sharing how they held up through long days on your feet—and for the helpful note about the true-to-size fit. We hope the leather continues to soften and mold beautifully to your feet. Enjoy your lovely new shoes!
Best wishes,
Camilla,
Memery
I forgot to add in my review that the shoes accommodate my orthotics— so that is amazing!!
Adore these beautifully constructed and comfortable shoes!!
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're extremely pleased to hear the shoes work well with your orthotics and that you find them beautiful and comfortable. 💕 Mette
Perfect to wear with my vintage uniform, very comfortable as the leather is really soft. It might be better to have the tongue slightly longer or attachable to the inner lace as it tends to slip into the shoe when you put your foot in. Otherwise more than happy with my purchase.
Hi, thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you like the shoes and find them comfortable. Thank you for the tip.

They seem very good quality. I've worn them twice and have gotten a bit of a blister at the heel but I'm expecting the shoes to wear in, as with other leather shoes I've bought. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up with regular use.
This shoe itself, finish and fitting (and all other I have bought earlier) get the highest rating but all the trouble to order and get the delivery pulls down the total rating.
Beautifully made, extremely well packaged to ensure safe arrival. Already have the black ones...just so comfortable hence buying another pair but this time in brown.
per the other reviews, these are beautiful shoes and comfortable. i got these for dancing mostly but will also wear to the office. material feels nice, run true to size.
also excellent customer service via email, many thank yous to that team.

Dear Carole. Thank you for your kind words, we're happy to hear you like our customer service as well as our shoes. Best Ditte
I am tired of the athleisure look and craved a well-made shoe that could be worn all day in the clinic. I normally wear a 7-7.5 depending on the style. This shoe in a 7.5 wide accommodated my orthotics and fit perfectly. They are beautiful and well-made and look great with a suit. Love the vintage vibe.
Hi Sandra. Thank you for the kind review, I'm happy to hear our Eleanor shoes in a size US 7 wide fit you well and you can wear them all day. Best Ditte
I am very happy with these shoes! I feel super well dressed in them and I finally have shoes that match my outfits. Like others I do recommend getting the wide version of your feet are even just a bit wide. After a bit of wear they are very comfortable. Highly recommend.
Hi Astrid. How lovely that you are happy with your Eleanor shows and that they match your outfits perfectly. Best Ditte

This is my 3rd pair of Memery shoes (I'm slowly building a collection) and I love them just as much as the first pair! Top notch quality and a great investment! I definitely find myself wearing the derby style shoes more than the heels because I am a homemaker and they are more practical if you are on your feet a lot. I save my heels for special occasions. The craftsmanship is what keeps me coming back. These aren't fashion shoes that get tossed or end up in a thrift store after a season. They take loving care and upkeep. If you take care of them, they will last for years to come! Say NO to fast fashion and embrace a slow more intentional way of life. Thank you Mette and the whole Memery crew for bringing back the old way of making and wearing shoes!
Dear Mary. We're glad to hear that you are enjoying your third pair of Memery shoes and that they are a practical and stylish choice for your everyday life. Happy walking! Best Ditte
Brilliant shoes, great for every day, and work well for ATS or FANY service dress if you can’t find originals!
Hi Maria. Thank you for your review, it's great to know that our Eleanor derby shoes goes very well with historical reenactment service dresses. Best Ditte
Memery shoes are my ultimate favorite. Elegant, true to its history and still absolutely comfy for everyday use. Absolutely recommend these pairs to everyone!
Hi Jenna. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending our Eleanor derby shoes. Thank you for th elovely picture, and we hope you continue to enjoy your Memery shoes! Best Ditte
Got these elegant stunners in size 41 since I usually wear size 41, and they fit perfectly for me. Love how they elevate each style, love them with skirts, dresses or trousers. Very comfy to wear.
Thanks so much for leaving a review for our Everyday flat Derby shoes. We're thrilled to hear that you find them elegant and comfy. It's great to know that they fit perfectly in your usual size and that they elevate any style. We love them with skirts, dresses, and trousers too! We're happy to hear that they're also comfortable to wear. Thanks again for your feedback and for choosing our shoes. Have a lovely day. Best Mette
I recieved these shoes after exchanging another pair that were a little too small and I’m in love with them. I also have a pair in black so I knew the fir was perfect. I wore them straight out of the box and they were so comfortable. I collect vintage oxfords and these feel very authentic but are much more comfortable than my originals. I also have only ever received the best service from Mette. I’m quite a fussy customer when it comes to shoes and she never makes me feel like it’s a problem. I highly recommend these shoes and this store.
These shoes are just what I was looking for, and they're super comfortable right out of the box. This is my third pair of memery shoes, I usually take a US size 9, and these fit great!

Received these lovely shoes and fell in love with them straight away.
The colour and quality are so good. They are so comfortable
Hi Stephanie. Thank you for your kind words about our Eleanor shoes. We're so glad to hear that you immediately fell in love with them and found them to be comfortable. Best Ditte
Absolutely beautiful shoes. However they seem to come up very small I ordered a 9 wide which is normally on the large side for me but they were too small. Fingers crossed the next size up which I have ordered will work as I really want to wear these!
Hi Ciara.
I'm happy to hear you like the Eleanor shoes. We recommned measuring your feet according to our size guide for the best fit, as the standard for converting shoe sizes can vary. If you have any questions regarding sizing, I'll also be more than happy to help you. Best Ditte
