Incredible customer service and support. 10/10!

My shoes are amazing. From the minute I held them, I knew what quality shoes really meant, and I realized that I am never again buying any other brand. They are exquisite--the quality of the stitching, the seamlessness of the sole's attachment to the upper--even the weight of the shoe--convey absolute perfection and care. And they fit perfectly. I have had fit problems my entire life due to having extra-wide feet. No longer! Thank you, Adelante.

Just love them. I hope I don't wear them too much and wear them out.

The best and most beautiful shoes ever! I still have my first pair from 5 yrs ago, and just got another pair. My blue loafers are my favorite shoes that I've ever worn. I work for an airline and shoes are important....we are always walking, so they have to feel good. Adelante shoes are made to feel good. They are made to last. They look gorgeous. I have 3 pairs of the Sophia shoes. Love them!

My first order of shoes did not fit, so Adelante simply re-did my shoes to size and shipped them out. Great customer service!

Adelante shoes are amazing. I had a half hour personal online appointment for my feet with Horacio. He took great care to hear my concerns about my short but wide feet, first time ever with a size 8 EEE. I ordered the Romero in chestnut leather and received my order a month later after paying a small import duty but faster than expected. The shoes are excellent quality, very well made with rigid but confortable welted soles and fit perfectly. I'm considering buying another pair soon.
