Margaux Shoes Review: Chic and Comfortable Style

I thought it was time for me to do a Margaux shoes review. I’ve accumulated so many pairs in my closet because I find them so extremely comfortable. I do love shoes! Between shoes and bags, it’s always been a toss up for my favorite type of accessories. Having a versatile, stylish, and comfortable collection of shoes is important for styling outfits in different ways.

I tend to have certain shoe brands that I love for certain reasons. I love Margaux shoes mostly for their selection of chic flat shoes. The ones you want to wear on an everyday basis. I’m covering the styles I own and love. Hopefully this Margaux shoes review will help you find your perfect pair!

Margaux Shoes Review

What Makes Margaux Shoes So Good?

First is style. I don’t care how comfortable a pair of shoes is, it must be stylish first. Margaux shoes have a timeless appeal but are made for the modern woman. The feminine details make this collection almost look dainty but you will be surprised once you try  pair on. They have both looks and function.

The second reason Margaux shoes are so good is that they are so comfortable! I am a firm believer in comfortable shoes. No matter how pretty shoes are, if they are not comfortable, I cannot wear them. I love that they offer medium, narrow, and wide widths. Plus their shoes size range is one of the best and biggest. Sizes range from 33 to 45. That’s incredible really.

The third reason to love Margaux shoes is their versatility. I don’t really think of Margaux as a heel brand. While they do offer heels, they have a lot more “everyday” shoe styles like ballet flats, loafers, and Mary Janes. They also have amazing boots!

Who is Margaux?

Co-founders Sarah and Alexa met while waiting for a cab at college. They fast became best friends. After graduation they realized that women were constantly choosing between comfort and style. They set out to make the shoe brand that blends both- Margaux.

The name Margaux actually came from the desire to be relatable to any and every woman. She is the ideal Margaux customer who wants both comfort and style and will not compromise for less. Founders Sarah and Alex also loved the play on words Marg-GO. It’s becomes their mantra- “Gaux Girls” and “Girls on the Gaux”. Let’s face it, we women are busy and forever on the go.

Where are Margaux Shoes Made?

All Margaux shoes are designed in New York, and hand-made in Spain by a family-owned factory. The region is known for shoe making and has been with the brand since day one.

Margaux Ballet Flats Review

The Demi Ballet Flats

The Demi is your classic French-girl chic ballet flats. They have a rounded toe with an adjustable cord bow. Did you ever wear ballet flats that slip off your heel? That doesn’t happen with the Demi. No pinching either. The wide selection of sizes and widths ensures you will find the right size.

I wear the medium width in size 37.5 and the toe box is just right. Plus the Italian nappa leather is so soft and smooth, it’s like butter. The 5mm of plush foam padding inside really makes these ballet flats stand apart from others.

The color options are so good as well. Lots of classic color options like black nappa, burgundy, two-tone (Chanel inspired ballet flats), patent leather colors, and even leopard. They have both classic and seasonal colors. These are great for wearing with jeans, skirts, and dresses. I love pairing my olive flats with my green trench coat, olive green pants, and olive bucket bag.

The Pointe Ballet Flats

The Pointe is your pointed toe version of the classic ballet flats. This gives you a little bit of an elongated toe look which looks great styled with wide-leg jeans. I’m wearing these wide leg jeans. Don’t be worried about the pointed toe. I know some pointed toe shoes can scrunch your toes. These do not. It’s just tapered enough to create a refined look.

I also wear these in size 37.5 medium width. If you are familiar with these popular pointed toe ballet flats (which are stunning by the way!), the Margaux Pointe ballet flats have a wider toe box. So you have more room. I like wearing the pointed toe ballet flats when I want a bit of a dressier vibe over the classic round toe flats.

 

Margaux Mary Jane Shoes Review

The Demi Jane

Mary Janes are the biggest shoe trend this fall season! And there’s good reason why. They are great flat shoes to wear to work, while running errands, or going out. I love that they are both comfortable and stylish. The Margaux Demi Jane is so lady-like with the adjustable strap. Mary Janes are a great option if ballet flats feel too unsupportive for you. The strap makes a big difference. Plus it’s made from soft Italian nappa leather, so it won’t cut into your skin.

The 5 mm of plush foam padding inside is what really makes these an all-day shoe. I still don’t understand why all shoes brands don’t do this. I want to feel the padding when I walk, not the ground. Wear these with anything and everything from the most casual looks to dressier occasions. You can totally wear these to a wedding with a great dress! I take my same Margaux shoe size- 37.5 medium.

Margaux Boots Review

The Downtown Boot

It’s not uptown, it’s downtown! The Downtown boot is a play on this effortless, western inspired boot. I have these in both the espresso calf and the black calf leather. Super comfortable and very on-trend with the pointed toe. If you know me, you know I’m not one to follow trends. I prefer a timeless and elegant wardrobe. I’m a little more open when it comes to shoes. I think that shoes can really change the entire vibe of an outfit. I do like to update my shoes if a style is worth it. And these boots are worth it.

The 2.5 inch stacked heel is the perfect height for looking chic while still being comfortable. I know everyone will have a different experience, but I have not had to break in any of my Margaux shoes. They have all been comfortable from the start. It’s one of the reasons I’m a repeat customer. The pointed toe is wide enough to not constrict the toes. I’m super appreciative of Margaux for making wide enough toe boxes.

I generally wear thin to medium socks with all of my boots. Wearing these socks I still take my usual size 37.5 medium. I suggest taking your true size unless yo really like to wear thick socks. Then consider going up a half size.  You can wear these ankle boots with everything from dresses, skirts, jeans, and pants. Think of them as your new go-to this season.

Margaux Sandals

Heeled Sandals: The City Sandals

These really are city sandals, as the name implies. The 2.5 inch block heel gives you stability while walking. They actually don’t feel that high. They are the perfect heeled sandals for day to night walking. The ankle straps are wide so they do not cut into the skin. These are made with the same 5mm of plush foam padding as the other Margaux shoes.

Because of the chunky heel, I tend to wear the City Sandals when I want a casual chic look. They are definitely versatile enough for more relaxed outfits as well as dressier outfits. I own the Saddle nappa leather color which goes with everything.

Flat Sandals: The Wrap Sandals

The wrap sandals are your classic greek sandals. The leather straps wrap around the ankle. You can tie them in the front or back but for a clean look, I prefer them tied in the back. The straps add a nice detail to your warmer weather outfits. I love them in gold since gold shoes go with everything! These are actually Champagne which is a very pretty light gold color.

These also have the 5mm plush padding. As far as comfort goes, they are comfortable. However this style of shoes takes some getting used to if you are used to a more supportive shoe. The straps are really what holds these sandals onto your feet. At first you may feel like they will come off when you take a step. It’s a similar feeling to wearing flip flops.
