Orleans Shoe Co. — Fitted in Person
Women's Vaneli
Dress shoes, flats, sandals and fall suede from a family-owned American shoe company. In narrow, medium and wide.
Hard-to-fit feet
Yes, It Comes in Narrow
Narrow feet slide right out of most dress shoes. Many Vaneli styles come in N as well as M, and some come in W. It's one of the few dress brands where we can fit a narrow heel properly.
What We Carry
Dress shoes in patent and suede
The Tamira in six patent colors, plus the Caitlin, Marty and Heidi in suede. Several come in narrow.
Fall suede
The Shaine, Aiker, Vava, Karida, Pensee and more, in military green, dark brown and cognac suede.
Soft knit and glove leather
The Suvi and Darrie in stretch knit, and the Arles in soft glove nappa. Easy on feet that don't like being squeezed. The Suvi comes in wide.
Summer styles
Woven nappa, linen and cork, including the Kalee, Catlee and Cairn.
How Vaneli Should Fit
- Vaneli is cut on a slimmer last. N is narrow, M is medium, W is wide
- Your heel shouldn't lift out when you walk. If it does, try the narrow before a smaller size
- Patent doesn't stretch. It should feel right on day one
- Suede and knit give a little, so snug is fine
Why We Carry It
A good-looking dress shoe that comes in real widths is hard to find. Vaneli makes the office, the wedding and the gala a lot easier on narrow and hard-to-fit feet.
