rant/rave: Nina Shoes??

TeebagyAndNorth

Hey-

I ran across this company recently and I was wondering if anyone knew ANYTHING about the quality?? The shoes are decently priced so I am skeptical..

PLUS they have a whole section of design your own! these aren't dyeables! http://ninashoes.com/dyo_0.aspx

I am pretty enthused about this but definitely need reviews!

Thanks!!!!

I love Nina shoes!  I've got quite a few pairs.

good to know! I don't really know how I haven't run across them before!

Love them! They used to sell them at Macy's and Nordstroms

I wore Nina's at my wedding (http://www.zappos.com/nina-paladin-powder-sand-luster-satin) and they definitely needed some breaking-in beforehand. Other than that they're made really well and I love the styles they offer!

They make some really pretty shoes, but they don't fit my feet   I bought a gorgeous pair of copper color stillettos with beading down the front a few years ago and had to return them.  I've tried a few others since then and always have the same fit problem (I have high arches). 

Definitely try them out though, and if they fit you, lucky you!!!!    They have tons of colors & styles to choose from.

(I'm pretty sure most department stores carry them: Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, etc)

I think Zappos carries them so you could order some to try on, then return for free.  I tried them, but they did not fit my feet.

I love Nina shoes, have a couple too! Agree with the PP that said they need some breaking in, but I do think they're fabulous. You can also find them on Endless.com for free shipping and free return shipping....besttt!

My wedding shoes are Nina.  I got them at DSW in Saugus for $50.  I tried on a TON of shoes that day, and these were shockingly comfortable compared to the others, despite the 3" heel.

I wore a pair for my wedding (the same as NIKNAKS only in Navy) and I loved them.  I didn't really have to break them in.  I wore them to my fittings and a few times around the house.  I had them on the whole day/night of the wedding. 
They carry a few styles at Macy's and I've also seen them at DSW.

i have a few pairs and one is kind of strappy and kills my feet to the point where i can't really walk in them after a few hours and the other is a peep toe pump and really comfortable (i wore them for my rehersal).  i think they make really beautiful shoes and i've always found them to be good quality.

I have 3 different pairs.. 1 is so uncomfy I will probably through them out soon since they are just taking up space in my closet.

The other 2 are fine  just go with one with a lower heel because the higher the heel the more painful they are.

And I do heels all of the time so it's not about not being used to wearing heels.

I have 3 pairs of Nina shoes, all various styles/heel height - all are extremely comfortable in that they don't rub/cause blisters.  However, I did have to buy little gel pads to put at the front of the shoes (under balls of feet) because sometimes my feet would get tired/slightly sore (usually after 8 hrs or so)  That being said, I NEVER wear heals except to nice events.  I wear converse all-stars on a daily basis.  I would highly recommend Nina shoes.  One of the pairs is silver satin, and it got extremely muddy after an outdoor wedding where it poured.  I was able to easily wash the mud out of the fabric with oxyclean spray, and got the shoes to look just like new without ruining the fabric.

I have bought several pairs of Nina shoes due to how inexpensive they are compared to other evening shoes! I agree with all PP in saying that you need to break them in! I forgot to do that two years ago before my 25th birthday extravaganza and I ended up with blisters and overall sore feet. I love their shoes but just wear them around your house a few weeks prior.
