4.0 out of 5 stars cute, but run a little small and stiff, comfy low heel - EDIT 4 years later

2025-12-23    -Julie Duda

UPDATE/EDIT: while I’ve not had reason to wear these as much as anticipated due to a pandemic and all, I’ve still worn them plenty over the last several years. They still look like new. I’ll admit, I’ve mostly worn them to the office, traveling on airplanes, out to restaurants and bars and parties, church, and not worn them much outside beyond maybe some outdoor malls. But I am still very happy with them. I am toying with buying them in a second color - as soon as I clean out some of the shoes I never wear. I do wear these, in fall/winter I probably wear them about 2-3 times per week.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I loved the look of these boots and was in the market to replace a pair that I had worn out completely. I have some minor foot issues and can no longer wear anything with much of a heel, so I was excited to see these had such a low heel while still looking nice enough to wear with dressy jeans and pants to go out, or even wear to work. I usually wear a 7.5 but sometimes size up to an 8 for things that look like the toes might be cramped - which is what I did with these.When they first arrived, I was so disappointed! I tried to put them on and they were so stiff and small I could barely cram my foot into them. I planned to return them. Today I went to pack them up for shipping back and thought I’d write a review while I still had them here to refer to. I tried them on again and felt sad because they were so cute and yet so uncomfortable. Inspecting them more closely, I realized there was a stiff cardboard insert in each one that seemed attached to the shoe. That seemed really weird, so I dug around until I cold get it out. It was so tightly inserted and closely aligned to the shoe that it actually seemed like it was glued to the shoe, but once I exerted a lot of effort, I got it out and there was no glue at all. I tried on the shoes again, and now they fit! Still a little stiffer and a tad tighter than I would prefer, but so much better that I am keeping them.Other details:The bottom sole is nice and grippy and fairly flexibleThe faux leather upper looks a little too shiny and uniform to mimic real leather, but there was definitely some effort made to make it look pretty good ... just not as good as you might wantThe little zipper is nice - though I can get the shoes off without using itThe memory foam insole is not as cushy as I expected, though it is okayThe shoes came well-protected with tissue wrapped around the buckles, foam inserts to prevent them getting flattened, the previously mentioned cardboard inserts, all wrapped in tissue in a standard shoe boxI have not done more than walk around the house in them so far - so if anything changes when I wear them out and about, I will come back and edit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great All Occasion Boot

These boots are perfect. Classy look, quality materials and incredibly comfortable. I have a narrow foot and was worried they might not fit, but they fit perfectly. The rubber sole and heel give good traction so you don’t slip on slick surfaces. They look great with jeans, leggings or dress slacks. These are already my favorite shoes!

Great Boots

Comfortable walking & the look great with jeans!( I bought a 1/2 size larger to allow for a PC5 Plantar Fasciatis Insole for additional comfort.)

Was pleasantly surprised. I do not usually purchase shoes on line. They fit nicely. And are comfortable. I pair them with my jeans.

I'm in love with these boots. Bought the black after buying the brown ones. Very comfortable. True to size.
