Review: Bodyline Shoes

A while back, I ordered my first "official" Lolita shoes directly from Bodyline! I took pictures intending to do a review...and I finally got around to it! Yay!

I was a little wary of ordering shoes from Bodyline, although they're reportedly some of their best products. People have had trouble figuring out their sizing, but I was lucky. I had bought a pair of Bodyline shoes secondhand (the seller had the US size there) and they fit so I was reasonably sure of my Bodyline size. For your information, I wear about a US size 6.5 and the Bodyline 23.5 fit me very well.

I ordered the shoes and was amazed at how fast the shipping was! It only took about 2 weeks for the package to get to me!

The package was just an envelope, but it was well sealed:


The shoes were wrapped in tissue paper and had tissue and plastic shoe supports inside.


I was a little disappointed at this lackluster job of packaging, but it didn't seem to damage the shoes too badly. The pink shoe bows had a tiny scuff, but it didn't even photograph.


The shoes without the packaging. They were absolutely LOVELY! I wasn't sure about the pink shoes on the site but bought them because they were some of the few pink in my size. But in person I LOVE them!


I couldn't wait to try the shoes on...so I put them on with my pants! XP And guess what? They fit PERFECTLY! They are so comfortable, I can see walking in these for a while and still being just fine. The pearls on the white shoes are detachable.

Ratings:
Overall experience: 4.9/5
Price: 5/5 (VERY cheap for Lolita shoes)
Shipping: 4.5/5 (very fast shipping, half point off for lackluster packaging)
Quality: 5/5 LOVELY!

  1. Thank you for reading & commenting on my blog! I'm following your blog now :]

    Congratulations on getting your first official lolita shoes~! I am glad they fit well because Bodyline has a tendency to have wonky sizing depending on the model number.

    Reading this entry makes me impatient about pay day. When I get paid, I am totally going to buy some BL shoes!
