As soon as I saw the Hetty Midnight Heels I knew that I needed these to be my wedding shoes. When they arrived they were beautiful quality & so comfortable. Unfortunately I had an accident after purchasing them, which permanenty damaged my ankle and meant I can no longer wear high heels. This is where Harriet Wilde really stepped up with wonderful customer service. Even though I purchased my shoes a year ago they allowed me to exchange them for the mid heel version which means I can still wear my dream shoes for my wedding. This really means the world to me - thank you Ruth and Hayley for your

Best customer service I have ever received!! They were comfy to wear all day, I absolutely love them! They were quick to respond and so helpful from start to finish. One of the flowers broke off a week before the wedding and they instantly sent me a label to return them, they repaired them within a day and they were already on their way back to me. Thank you so much

I am so glad I found my dream shoes! From the minute I saw them, I couldn't forget them - postponing our first day meant I had time to buy my Hetty's and I am so grateful as I LOVED them and so did everyone else who saw them! They are such a beautiful and special reminder of our day and were just that perfect bit of 'extra' that went with my dream autumn colours.
Robin and Amy were so helpful and made it a lovely experience even from the other side of the planet!

My experience with the team at HW was amazing! They are all so friendly and helpful and were always available to help with any questions I had when designing my wedding shoes. From sending two pairs of shoes to me to help with choosing the correct size, to email correspondence throughout the design process, I felt confident in their services and products and needless to say the shoes (and matching bag... I had to!) exceeded my expectations.
