Leather is a natural material and will last for many years with proper care. It is normal for leather shoes to be snug at first, as the leather will give over time.

Pedro & Marta
An atelier run by a husband and wife team that makes some of our most popular styles.
Customers rave about these heeled mules, describing them as "comfortable right out of the box" with "buttery soft leather." The versatile design pairs with jeans, dresses, and work attire. Most find sizing true to fit, though some recommend sizing down. A few noted initial break-in needed. One customer reported sole stitching issues after one year.

These clogs are a go to, love them. I have wide feet so did size up, that may not have been needed but I do like the fit
LOVE these shoes…sized perfectly & comfortable right out of the box
I absolutely love fortress shoes. The quality, the style, the comfort level… 100% fabulous on all! These are exceptionally comfortable and so cute on. Absolutely love.
I slipped them on right out the box and they fit like a glove. So comfortable & versatile. Great for work, casual day out, or a night out on the town.
Love the quality of the leather, the comfort, and the versatility of these shoes. I have problem feet so that’s saying something! Highly recommend! Would love more colors.
The Michelle is the perfect combo of style and practicality when it comes to dressing for the winter/ spring transition. It has a bit of a heel but is super comfortable and easy to walk in. I wear mine with wide legs as well as straight jeans and both look fantastic. I’m a size ten (40), but always size up to a 41 with Fortress.
Love them . Would buy again
I was a little worried these would be too small, but after the first wear I could already tell that over time they will mold to my feet perfectly and last a long time. They are beautifully constructed and I absolutely adore them.
Loved these more than I even thought I would/ very comfortable and perfect for work
These shoes are incredibly comfortable, even on the first wear. They are beautiful and very well made.
Great fit, stylish, easy to pair with outfits.
These are my new favorites! Super stylish and comfortable, I’m wearing them to work and for a night out.
I am in love with this shoe! They are comfortable right out of the box. The heel is the perfect height and the leather is so soft and supple. I find myself wearing these with both casual and more dressy outfits - they work with either! I want these in every color.
I bought these for my wife. Not only does she love the style, the quality is great and most importantly they are very comfortable.
I love this shoe! They are so comfortable that I forget they have a little lift.
These are gorgeous shoes! Had to exchange for a smaller size as these ran a tad larger than other mules I have, but absolutely love them!
These shoes look great with jeans or a dress. Very comfortable, I have received compliments every time I have worn them.
Wow!!
I loved the shoes very comfortable I could walk in these all day
Super comfy, and so many compliments on these!
They look fantastic & are comfortable. I may get another pair in a different color
Shoes are very stylish and go with all my outfits
These look good with everything!
Well made, I will be ordering more from this company
I loved the easy slide on vibe of these shoes, and they were super comfortable while quickly upgrading my outfit. These are definitely a wardrobe staple!
I love Fortress’s soft leather and usually worry about buying a mule style shoe because my foot never seems to fit in its usual size and hangs off the back. But these were perfect and go with just about any outfit.
It’s a comfortable, versatile pair of shoes that elevates each outfit.
I absolutely love these mules. They are perfect with jeans, skirts or dresses. I recommend sizing down. I or if I ally ordered a 39 and needed to reorder a 38. I am an 8.5 regular width.
