Charlotte Olympia

Shoes are all wonderful but to top that the sales associate that helped me was great! I was on my way to a wedding dress fitting she let me borrow the shoes to try the dress on with to make my decision. On top of that when I got the shoes home I realized I need a half size bigger then didn’t have to but exchanged them for me having shoes sent in from another store.* also suggested I have the shoes shipped to my home in Denver so I could save on sales tax! Thank you Carolina!
Cant wait to wear my shoes LOVE THEM!

Purchased several pairs of shoes through the store and online. One of the sales women started following me on social media.
I posted something that this sales person CAROLINA AMARIS did not agree with and she started bullying me and harassing me online through my social media. I had to report her to the IG community and block her. She has gone over the line and I don’t go to this location anymore because of her. She is unstable and hot headed. Keep your opinions to yourself, specially when dealing with your clients.

I live in Raleigh NC, and there isn’t a Charlotte Olympia in this area, so I’ve been shopping for their shoes online. I wanted to order the Ivory Bridal Kitty 110 heels, but they didn’t have my size online. I called the store in New York; Giorgi helped me find the size that I needed from the Miami store! I was very nervous about purchasing such an expensive and non-​exchangeable/​refundable shoe online without trying on, but speaking with someone helped me determine which size to order. I mostly wanted to write this review to help others choose a size.
After reading multiple size reviews online, I wasn’t sure which size to get. In American shoes, I run between a 6 – 6.5. Most reviews online stated that the CO’s run «true to size» and this is an accurate review. I received the size 6.5, and they fit perfectly. They were ever so slightly slightly snug (but in a good way), even after walking around on the carpet in them, I could feel them start to form to my foot a little better.
The shoes were sent overnight via UPS, so I got them quickly. I had to sign and show ID when picking up.
The shoes are one of a kind and gorgeous. CO says that since each shoe is hand made, some flaws are natural and make the shoes unique. You could tell that these shoes weren’t flawlessly made by a machine and I do like that they are one of a kind! You can see the slight variations that come from individual craftsmanship.
All that being said, I do feel kinda silly for spending the amount that I did on a pair of wedding shoes. But, what a conversation piece and a unique shoe to wear for a wedding — not your typical stuffy and same old shoe; they’re fun and playful. As a cat person, these shoes are truly «me» and allow me to show my personality, when most weddings can be pretty generic and cookie cutter. These shoes will most likely cost more than my dress. However, unlike a wedding dress, I know that I will wear these for years to come and will be able to use them for lots of different occasions. For me, this justified the purchase.
EDIT: I originally gave this store 5 stars, but had to change it. There was a misunderstanding with my order, I was charged with two pairs of shoes and the store was very slow on refunding one of my purchases. I had to contact the store several times, and there was a lot of run around about their computer system being down.
Additionally, when I visited the CO website after my purchase, the same pair of shoes were listed for over $ 100 less than what I purchased them for. I saw the price fluctuate several times in June for the same shoes.

One of only 2 boutiques in the world, the other one in London, Charlotte Olympia on E 65^th st is an irreplaceable addition to the shopping experience on Madison Ave.
Not only does it provide better stock than any online store, the store manager Jason is a pleasure to shop with. He’s passionate about the label and speaks avidly of past and upcoming collections, of the designer’s history, and is also very patient– especially for clients unfamiliar with the brand.
The place features shoes from the current and classic collections, as well as their limited editions. And don’t be fooled by the seemingly small space, there’s plenty to try on here!

I love their shoes.
There simply is not more to say about this.
