I absolutely love them. Size perfect 38 as usual, comfortable round toe box. I was initially looking for a pair of ghillie brogues to go with my kilts and thought, these have a slight resemblance. As this is not my first pair from Memery, I was sure the quality would 'fit' as well!
Hi Margarete.
We're so happy to hear your new Billie shoes fit you so comfortably. Thank you for the lovely picture, we're sure they will look stunning with your kilts! Best Ditte
I was a little sceptical to buy shoes in a web store because of bunions. When they arrived it was a match made in heaven. They fit perfectly! Last week I went to a local shoestore and the owner asked where I had got my lovely shoes. Can you get a better compliment than that?
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our Billie shoes were a perfect fit for you, even with your bunions. It's great to know that our shoes are not only comfortable but also receive compliments from others. Thank you for choosing memery, and we hope to see you again soon! Best Ditte
I purchased these shoes specifically for dancing. The high energy, high impact needed for Lindy Hop steered me in the direction of a low, leather soled shoe with a generous toe box so as to avoid the nerves between my toes from being pinched. Not only do the Memery Derby shoes fit my dancing needs, they also fit exceptionally well to the vintage/repro 40's clothing I wear while dancing. Dance legends, for example Norma Miller, are seen in early movies and photos dancing Lindy in low, supportive shoes. I am in between sizes, so I chose the larger size to accommodate my personalized insoles.
Hi Kathryn, we're thrilled to hear these shoes are perfect for your dancing and vintage look. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. 💕Mette
Beautiful shoe! Very well-made. They will look great with jeans or dress pants. The fit for me is a tad large in the heel, but I have narrow heels to begin with. A heel insert works great.
Hi Kathy, How great to hear that you love the Billie shoes! Enjoy styling them with your outfits!
Best wishes,
Camilla,
Memery
Erg blij met de schoenen, super dat er reserve veters en hakken bij geleverd zijn.
Det er tredje gang, jeg køber den samme model. Jeg slider dem op, perfekt hverdagsko både til bukser og kjole
Lekre sko som jeg anbefaler på det sterkeste👍☺️Hærlig såle, som føles som luft når man spaserer avsted.ANBEFALES på det VARMESTE👍🥰🫶disse blir med meg i mange år🫶
Hej Ramona. Hvor er det skønt at høre at du er så glad for dine nye Billie sko. Jeg er sikker på at de kommer til at være til glæde for dig mange år endnu. Hilsen Ditte
The shoes are so beautiful and the fit is wonderfull!
The leather ist really thick, which is why I spent a lot of time softing up where the back hit my heel. The leather is soft there now (& my heels have healt) so I am really really happy with them now! I am sure that these shoes ard going to last me a long time :)
Hi Charlotte.
Thank you for your kind review on our Billie shoes. As you say, they're made fo leather, so in time they will soften up and expand a bit, and then you'll have the most comfortable shoes molded to your feet. If you need tips and tricks on how to break in leather shoes we have made a blogpost you can read right here: https://memery.eu/blogs/shoe-care-and-material/how-to-break-in-leather-shoes

Great Shoe, i love how they look with skirt or trouser. They fit quite well and are so far comfortable. Sadly they are a bit slipery, but i love them nevertheless
Hi Karla.
Thank you for your review of our Billie derby shoes. We're so glad to hear that you find them elegant and cute and that they fit well. Our shoes are made with leather soles, just like the originals back then. Once you've worn them on the pavement, they should be less slippery, or you can treat them with leather care, to make them less slippery. I also know some of our customers take them to a cobbler and have a rubber sole added.

This is my third pair of Memery shoes. I am a musician, and I need to wear all black when I am on stage. These are comfortable enough that I know I will be fine on my feet for the whole show. The subtle details add interest when seen up close, but they are appropriate when I am standing with the full chorus. These are just what I was looking for in a concert shoe, but I am also enjoying them for regular daytime wear.
Dear April. We're so glad to hear that you find the Billie shoes attractive and comfortable, and that they meet your needs as a musician. We hope you continue to enjoy them for both performances and everyday wear. Best Ditte
Beautiful and comfy shoes - I feel a million wearing them!
Hi Monica. How lovely our Billie shoes make you feel liek a million! Best Ditte
Billie shoe. Fairly comfortable walking shoe. Beautifully made. Leather is stiff. Would be much better with a soft, buttery, pliable outer and inner liner. Will take a lot of walking to soften these up.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback on our Everyday Derby shoe. We're glad to hear that it is a comfortable walking shoe and that you appreciate its quality craftsmanship. We recommend wearing the shoes more often to help soften them up. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope you continue to enjoy them! Have a great day. Best Mette
Comfortable shoes, true to size.
Hi Annika. Thank you for your reveiw, we're so glad to hear your new Billie shoes live up to your expectations both regarding comfort and sizing. Best Ditte
I love these in every way. They are cute, comfortable, and high quality.
Thank you for the kind words! So happy to hear you found them both stylish and comfortable. Best Ditte
Simple yet stylish for vintage everyday work and casual, but taking some time to wear in. Perfect for my 1940s style clothes. The soles are smooth so I might purchase gripper pads for autumn and winter weather.
Hi Fatima. Thank you very much for your review, we're glad to hear you like our Billie shoe. Our shoes are made of full grain leather, which means in time they will take shape after your feet and give you a great fit. Our soles is also made of leather, so the more you use them, the less slippery they will become. Hope this information helps, otherwise you're always more than welcome to write to our customer service for advise.

Definitely my new go to shoes for everyday. They are really, really comfy!
Dear Cecilia
So happy to hear you like our Billie as your new every day shoe!
Best Ditte
Great shoe; looks very good and is also very well made and very comfortable. I also have the “Eleanor” model in brown.
Shipping is also great; fast delivery and very nicely packaged!
This was my third pair from this brand. Very happy with the look and quality as always, they're so lovely! These took a bit to break in but are now quite comfortable. They were a tiny bit little large on me, but it's no problem with thicker socks
Lever op til forventningerne. Skoene passer fuldstændig beskrivelsen og fotos fra hjemmesiden.
Jeg bruger dem nu fast som skiftesko på arbejde her i vintertiden.
Absolutely beautiful shoes. So comfy to wear like little cushions on your feet.
Just wish I didn't have to pay a huge customs fee which unfortunately made these shoes very expensive.
All of Mette’s shoes are always stunning and impeccably crafted. I am honored to have them in my collection. Thank you very much.
I own a pair of classic Oxford shoes that I wear to death every autumn/winter. For years, it bugged me that somehow their shape didn't quite work with shorter trousers, culottes or even skirts once warmer weather rolled around. NOW I found the solution! "Billie" is a fantastic twist on an Oxford shoe and I immediately pictured them with a cute pair of socks and my summer wardrobe. What can I say - it's a match made in heaven! The shoe itself was comfortable to wear straight away, the EU38 is absolutely true to size and while I love the dainty heart detail, I appreciate the addition of a second pair of shoelaces just in case. I hope Memery will come out with more colours or flat shoes like this in general in the future, I'd buy them in a heartbeat!
I wasn't sure about the size when I ordered because I usually wear a solid 9.5 US. I ordered according to the size chart and got a US 9 / EU 40. The first day I wore them I noticed that they were tight in the width and the top of my arch but the length felt okay. My feet are right in between normal and wide shoe width so I'm going to try stretching them through further wear. Thinner socks work better for these and they're much more comfortable after 4-5 days of wearing. The leather comes pretty stiff but I'm finding that the front where my toes bend is starting to work in a little.
I love the style! I needed a pair of black everyday/slightly dressy shoes and these are perfect. The leaf-end laces are adorable and add a nice detail to the shoes. I'll definitely try another pair of Memery shoes in the future- I'm eager to try the sandals and boots.
Very beautiful shoes :)
I returned them for a smaller size that arrived very fast. The shoe molded into my foot in about a week and they are the most comfortable everyday shoes I have ever worn that look so very cute! They look great with jeans and colorful socks!
I'm so pleased with my shoes! They are the perfect for the outfit I'm making. The low heel and cute cute out leaf design on the laces make these shoes exceptional.
I love Memery shoes! I just bought these and look forward to wearing them... I accidently ordered a UK6 vs a US6. All their shoes are so beautifully hand crafted. I look forward to them coming in the mail.
