I love these shoes for their aesthetic qualities, and they are fairly comfortable as well. however, I have been very disappointed in how well they have held up. I received the shoes in October 2023, and have worn them about once a week since then. Even in March the soles were beginning to detach, and at this point they are no longer comfortably wearable--I must get them repaired after only 6 months wear. Again, the shoes are beautiful, and I was hoping to buy another pair of shoes from you--you have so many lovely styles-- but I sadly can't afford to buy new shoes if they don't last.
Love Julia Bo shoes!
I am very excited to gift these boots to my Mother. Ever since watching the 2020 Emma she has talked about wanting a pair of yellow boots. I did first order the wrong size so I have to say that Julia Bo's customer service is excellent. I reached out about exchanging them for a different size and they were prompt and very helpful throughout the whole process. The boots are beautiful.
I love my THIRD pair of Julia Bo boots. I purchased a pair of shoes over 5 years ago. Loved them. Then the boots were “calling” :) me! I’m on my third pair. The craftsmanship is gorgeous. The boots are awesome. I love designing my one-of-a-kind styles. It allows to be so specific rather than spending hours and hours shopping at retail stores for what I want. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of the boots including international shipping. Whenever I’ve had a question, someone from JuliaBo has always quickly responded to my emails. I have ZERO complaints about the entire shopping experience. I’ll likely be back to purchase more in the future!
I wanted to get the perfect white boot for my wedding since I'm getting married in February. We are doing a micro ceremony with just immediate family but are still dressing up so finding the perfect boot that felt formal but didn't have a huge heel was a must for me. The customization process was amazing. Getting to see the rendering of the boot ahead of time really gave me confidence in the design. The sizing was easy enough to figure out. I received regular updates about the boots during their production and shipping and they arrived in a timely manner. When I got them they were beautifully wrapped and were exactly what I wanted! The quality is 100% worth the price and I am looking forward to mixing these boots into my regular wardrobe after my wedding day.
We've partnered with CAMFED, a global NGO based in Cambridge UK, to support girls in need to go to school, learn, thrive and lead change. Therefore, when you buy a pair of Julia Bo brogues, you fund the cost of one day of school for a girl in need in sub-Saharan Africa, the region with the highest out-of-school female population in the world.
