I first came across the Raven in early 2020, but held back from buying it, as we had not been leaving the house because of the pandemic. When things had started to feel normal again for us last month, I knew that the wait is over and the time had finally come!
Buying shoes online is a tricky thing, but thankfully, Rob and Mara was very helpful when I realized I made a mistake with my measurements. The service is superb, and emails are always very courteous and friendly (a rarity amongst online sellers!)
My shoes are beautiful! I am happy with the fit, and cannot wait to use them.
PS. I was also very happy to learn that they have a brand for men's shoes, too. Will check out shoes at Eaglery for my husband and son next! :)
Love how my pair looks! But unfortunately, I had to buy padded shoe inserts because my heels were in pain from how hard the insoles are.
Ordered Raven in Cognac Tan size 8, fits perfectly well, barefoot.
Had to exchange it for a Raven in Fudge size 9, so I could afford to wear it with thick socks and the finish of Cognac Tan leather was a bit wrinkled near the shoelaces.
Consult them first with regards to your size and the fit that you wants to save up on delivery charges of return/exchange and your time of waiting to get your hands on these lovely pairs.
Walked with it (and even run) for 5days going to and from the office. No blister acquired, yet. A bit of muscle pain upon bending my foot and a little pain due to the friction of my pinkies to the leather, but still, probably depends on your way of walking. (I don't want to damage it yet with folds.)
Matches my preferred thick ankle socks for everyday wear and gained about an inch in height, too. Well-handcrafted and genuine leather as promised. These leathers, hopefully, won't wound my feet. ❤

Raven in Cognac Tan
Soft leather. Lightweight. Stylist. I ordered 1 size bigger so I could wear thick socks. Together with my other Rob&Mara shoes, I believe I am ready for my travels to Europe and USA beginning October.
Worth every penny! My 1st pair from Rob & Mara and definitely not the last. So comfy considering that its a leather shoes, you can practically wear it everyday. Good job Rob and Mara 👍
Great customer service. They've replaced my order with a new one. Can't wait to wear them all the time!
