Body Line Shoe Review
For Body Line EGL shoe review



I just recently bought this pair of shoes from Body Line. I call them "Tea Party Heels" because they do have the tea party strap styling, but they're obviously heels. I have a REALLY hard time fitting shoes. I wear around a 10-10.5 and I have very narrow feet. I can't ever fit into brand shoes, and anyone whose talked about Lolita with me knows this is my biggest complaint. When I saw these shoes in 27cm, I squealed and HAD to order them. I was worried that they wouldn't fit me properly, but I was quite pleasantly surprised. Though the shoes themselves are a big wide on me... well not width per se, but my feet are so skinny there's a lot of room in them. I have AAAA feet though, mind you. This was easily solved with a pair of insoles so now they are nice and snug. Despite being heels, they are *quite* comfy. The platform makes the heels a breeze to wear. I normally hate heels. I'll be test driving them out tonight at goth night to see how they hold up for dancing.

Quality wise, I was rather impressed. The shoes only cost $33, but they seem extremely well made. I love that the shoes have snaps under the buckles, so you don't actually have to buckle anything (go laziness go!). The middle bow can also be removed in case you want a less sweet look. I would say the quality is comparable to that of Demonia, probably a bit better. They actually seem comparable to secret shop shoes as well, from what I've seen, as I've never been able to fit into SS shoes myself. I can't really compare them to brand quality shoes since I can't fit into brand shoes and don't own any! They do seem well constructed, though. And with the comfort and the pricing, I'd say definitely order them if you were considering them.

They are very cute! May I ask, how wide are they? I have trouble fitting into shoes as well.

they're ~6cm wide at the heel, and about 8.5cm wide at the ball of the foot.

this is just measuring the bottom sole of the shoe on the inside though, not with how wide they will stretch with the sides of the shoes...

Thanks for the review! An IRL photo is sooo much better than the stock photo. I've been going back and forth with myself wanting to buy these same pair. Now I will =D

Again. Thank you ^w^

Yeah I took a gamble on the stock photos and was so pleasantly surprised! I figured it would help anyone else whose on the fence to have pictures too:)

Thanks for the review! I have the exact same issues with shoes (I wear a 10.5 in terms of length, but my feet are narrow enough to fit into shoes that are a size 5 or 6), and I usually just wind up going down a few sizes to achieve a decent fit-- I was thinking about ordering these, and it's good to know that it's safe to order true-to-length :3

Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the reviews you do on the items you buy. You really helped me in my decision to buy a Rose Melody JSK recently. :)

Now, I kind of what a pair of these bad boys, just because your review shows them off so clearly! haha

These shoes are gorgeous! I had been looking at them on the Bodyline website and I decided against it, because I have rather wide feet.. They are incredibly adorable though! ♥

Thank you for this! They are amazing and I was considering them, I'm happy to hear they are comfortable also and they look very pretty on your pictures.

You should get them! They're SO comfy, and I'm such a baby when it comes to heels. I've been so happy with how they look I keep trying them on with lots of dresses in my closet and they're fabulous with everything:)

Thanks for the review! Did you go with the actual measurement of your foot for the shoe? I have been thinking about buying these but was worried that they would be too big on me since I have read that many of Bodyline shoes are bigger than the measurements they posted on the site.

Are you going out to perversion by any chance? (for anyone else reading this, its the name of a club)

Ahh no, I've gone to perversion a few times, but I'm going to Killing Spree at Medusa because it's close to the house and my friends run it.

Thank you for doing this review it was very helpful and makes want to buy those shoes. I had a question though I wear a size 10 and was wondering if 27 will be right or little big. Because last time I bought 27 it was size 12 or something O.o

It's hard to say. I wear a 10 usually, but sometimes a 10.5 depending on the shoe. I HATE to have too tight or uncomfy shoes... these seem to fit perfectly. Not sure how it will work for you though. What does your foot measure in cm?

Thanks for this! I like the Moi-meme-Moite ribbon around your legs :)

I'm always afraid to order from Bodyline because of the prices. I tend to think everything would be of poor quality but these look really good!

Haha thanks, they're the new moitie socks with the ribbons attached to them. I bought them at anime expo:)

These actually put any montreal/ling lam shoes to shame quality wise. they're really so much nicer than i thought htey would be, esp for the price!

I'm glad to see a review on these! I'd been eying them, but now I really want some (it really can be a pain to find size 10 shoes). And they come in a bunch of colors, which is awesome.

It worries me that they're so narrow, given that I just ordered the heart buckles in white. :[ Thanks for the review, though!
