Beautiful Boot!
As others commented this boot runs small. The 8 I ordered for my 8-sized foot hurt like heck when I put it on, but quickly relaxed and ALMOST fit.  I wore it around on the carpet for about an hour and after that I determined I  needed a half size larger, because there were pressure points that were not going to ease up.  I returned them and I just got my size 8 1/2.  Upon putting them on there was a little discomfort in the heel which immediately relaxed.  These fit much better, though maybe just a little loose at the heel, which will snug up once I put on thicker socks.  Lovely color and texture. The sweep of the arch and heel togetger look very sexy, as does that nice V-notch in front.  The perforations in the yoke add a very nice contrasting texture, and the soft fabric around the ankles is very comfy. I am not a western or cowgirl boot lover, but I did want a boot with a little hint of cowgirl in it, which these do! These boots look great and feel great!

I have really enjoyed wearing these boots.  I am a nurse clinician and have been wearing these shoes w/my causal business attire, in our busy outpatient clinic.  Even on day one, I was comfortable throughout my 10+ hr shift and have received numerous compliments on these stylish boots.  One attribute I've been especially impressed with is how they make my size 9 feet look (almost) petite.  The foot print is deceptively smaller then the actual length of the foot.  Obviously, this is true with any higher heeled shoe, but somehow, these are different.  Maybe it is the wedge heel, but whatever it is, I'm loving them!!!

10/24/12 Addendum:  After several trips driving into work w/these shoes, I have noticed one obstacle that may or may not apply to others.  I drive a standard car and the wedge heel and/or heel height make them a  bit difficult to drive in... esp. w/a clutch!  Not a deal breaker,  but thought I should share my observations. LT

first off, these are fantastic boots - ones that I get tons of compliments on!  I got them for such an incredible price and was very excited when they showed up at my door.  This boot has thick sturdy leather that will stand up to awful winter weather, I imagine. The heel is not too high, but I did have to get used to them as I typically do not wear a heeled boot. I of course had to break them in which took a few weeks - after which I could wear the boots all day with no fatigue.  This boot is practical and can be dressed up or worn as a casual boot.

Now to the "but" part...  I bought a size 9 1/2 (my true shoe size) because it was the only size available.  I put on the right boot and it was snug when it came to getting my foot to maneuver through the bend and down to the footbed (I have a low arch and my foot is not too flexible I suppose.)  Once my foot was inside it fit like a glove.  I tried to put on the left boot and it felt like an entirely different size altogether!  I could NOT for the life of me get my foot to slide into the boot!  In the process of shoving my foot into the boot as hard as I could I had ruined the back lining of the boot.  I decided to put on hose to try to put my boot on and it worked - my foot fit into the boot.  However, now the detached lining was folded under my heel which will not work obviously.  I looked online and found a suggestion to use a plastic grocery bag - place it in the back inside of the boot and my foot would slide right in and I could then pull out the bag.  It is a weird way to put on boots, but it works.  So if you have a tight bootdon't ruin it like I did.  Just grab a plastic bag.

***I am starting this review under the premise that I will come back at a later date in the near future to update. I had to return them to exchange for a larger size***
The boots are gorgeous! I loved them as soon as I opened the box! First thing that I noticed was that the sole wasn't slick! I like a shoe with a good grip on slick surfaces and these definitely have that. The zipper runs smooth and doesn't catch. I was able to try them on, but due to the fact that I have wide feet they did not fit as well as I would like. I wear a size 9, and these fit perfectly except for right across the toes, so if you have wide feet I would suggest ordering a size up. If your feet are regular then these will fit perfect. Also I need to point out that I have a big calf, and typically I have trouble finding a boot that will zip due to that. These fit perfect in that area as well!
They feel like a good quality boot. They are super cute! I will update as soon as I get the correct size back and let you know how I feel about them after wearing them all day! I did receive this product at a discounted rate in exchange for and honest opinion.

I hesitated before buying these boots because I liked the slight edge, but wanted to make sure I could still wear them to work sometimes. (My workplace is fairly casual, but I do see patients most days so I need to look respectful and credible) my favorite boots from last year are cute, but are just too casual looking to wear into the office routinely. I have many cute flats that just don't look quite right with socks, and I needed something warmer for the fall. I also wanted these to look OK with jeans on the weekend.

I tried these on with a few outfits as soon as I got them and am very happy with them. They look great with jeans, and I can definitely see myself wearing them with tights as it gets colder. I'm not sure I would wear them when it's wet out because of the side slit and because I think the leather is really pretty, but they'd still be a huge improvement over my flats if it came to that. They have very little tread- just some fine grooves on the heel- so be aware of that if you plan to wear these in wet or slippery weather.

Fit-wise, these boots are awesome. I have rather narrow, skinny feet and bought a 7.5, which is what I usually wear. These immediately felt broken-in and I went on two long-ish walks in them on the first day I had them with no problems. The heel was a little loose on me, but the arch was snug enough (I have high but not painfully high arches) to keep them secure. The minor rubbing on the inside of the heel did not bother me. The ankles are loose, but I was prepared for that since that is the look of the boot. I tucked skinny jeans into them, and had a perfect amount of room for that.

Regarding the distressing that some other reviewers mentioned, I got the black leather (not suede) which was not particularly worn looking on the folds or seams but is still pretty soft. I didn't notice any rounding or distressing on the soles of these boots. I can't speak for the suede, but if you want these to look (and feel) loved but not damaged or overly broken in, I can highly recommend choosing the black leather.

I have been on an endless search for the perfect boots. My criteria has been: knee high, leather, stylish but not too trendy because they were for work, modest heel and QUIET. I finally found the perfect boot in these. Better yet, these are actually comfortable, both for my feet (wide) and legs (which often is not the case with too tight knee high boot shafts). I am happy these were available in a 9.5 as well as I often have to go with boots slightly too small or too big in other brands. These were expensive, which is my only complaint. I am still giving 5 stars because I'm impressed with how comfortable they are.  I have worn them all week and they seem to be holding up well.  I bought another style miz mooz boots last year which almost got the bill for my perfect boot, but sadly they did not last.  I really hope these do.

I really love these boots.  They are stylish and comfortable and will work well with so many outfits.  I bought a pair in brown and black so I probably won't wear many other shoes during this fall and winter.  The wedge heel is not too high to be uncomfortable.  I'd guess it's a little over 2 inches.  If you're looking for a great pair of casual ankle boots for this fall, I'd definitely recommend these Wanted boots.

This boot is Gorgeous!  I love the luxurious black suede, and the wooden wedge heel makes these different - not like every other boot out there.  They look great with my skinny jeans tucked in, and even over leggings.  Loved them so much, I purchased in the creamy beige color too.

I bought these boots in black and I love them! When I first tried them on I was so disappointed because they are beautiful, but they hurt immediately when I tried on the right boot, so I assumed they were too small. The next morning as I was getting ready to print out the return label, I decided to try on the left boot to see if it felt the same way. I soon discovered that there is a tight-fitting insert placed deep inside the toe area to protect the shape when shipping the boots. Once I managed to remove those inserts, I was thrilled to find that they actually fit quite well! I have narrow feet anyway, but I would caution anyone who has wide feet that they are somewhat narrow in the toe area. I also normally wear an 8, but due to the 3 inch heel height, I decided to go down to a 7.5 instead, and they fit perfectly. They are gorgeous and I would recommend them to anyone (as long as you don't normally purchase wide width)!

I can't express my joy enough in finding these boots! Not only were they available in wide width, but they are easy on and off (a great trait for messy winter shoes), EXTREMELY comfortable, very light weight (which is a necessity for anyone like me who has had an injury), water resistant, and great looking! I couldn't beat the price on the dark brown. The sizing was perfect for me. If you intend on thick socks, of course go a half size up. After having been burned by other brands (on sizing/fit) when ordering online, it is a great relief to have a brand as a go to that will size the same from one shoe style to the next. There's nothing worse than having to pay for shipping just to not be satisfied. One more great trait: the zipper goes down far enough that there is no struggle to get your foot/ankle in the opening. A great design.

These boots are gorgeous, in a rugged, kick-a** way!

I love the zipper, thick leather, snaps and buckles -- they are such nice details and make these boots unique.  They are comfortable and are completely lined, unlike other boots where only the foot is lined.  As with most of the boots of this kind, the heel tends to be on the looser side and does slip.  Dont sweat it  thats normal.  Nothing inside the boot pokes or rubs.

FOR THOSE OF US WITH WIDE CALVES:

I am normally a size 7-7.5 with average width, and ordered a size 8(B).  With thin socks, they are a tiny bit on the narrow and long side but will stretch over time so Im not worried.

These boots were extremely difficult to get zipped over my 15 calves.  After a mild heart attack (I could feel my heart beating in my calves!), I got them zipped and spent the evening wearing them.  Over the course of the evening, I slide a pen into the top of each boot, and then replaced with things slightly bigger to force the boot to stretch.  The next day I was able to zip them up over my jeans.  If your calves are larger and you don't want to stretch them yourself, not to worry, there is a company that makes extenders for your boots and they zip right into the current zipper (BootBands.com).

Sadly a bit narrow even with a thin sock.  I tried to follow the other reviews but this was the last size in Burgundy. 7.5 is my usual.  Trying a half size up in another color.  Wides seem to be limited in availability and more expensive through some online stores. Hoping to find the winter boot of my dreams in a size 8. They'll be the perfect boot for all occasions, particularly if one's walking.  They do slouch more than pictured, in the shaft.  But, I think the relaxed fit lends itself to the typical riding boot loose fit around the calf.  From farmer's market boot to work boot to date night in the park boot!

I have narrow feet with low instep and my calves are 15.5" and these boots fit me perfectly!  I am so thrilled! I can zip the boots up over my skinny jeans with no problem and no gap.  They are perfectly made for me.  The heel height is perfect for my back.  The foot broke in quickly.  My only problem was that the shaft bent/buckled a bit at my ankle, I'm sure due to my wider calf pushing them down a bit.  I have worn thick crew socks to address it and I can tell it's becoming less of a problem.

The boots are as beautiful in person as they look.  Beautiful shiny, high quality leather foot and top band with high quality suede shaft.  Leather/fabric lining.  Cushioned footbed.  I have a terrible time finding shoes/boots to fit my narrow foot/low instep, and these are absolutely perfect for me.  I paid ~$110 for the dark brown pair and want the black pair as well.

If you don't have the shape foot/calf that I do, then please don't purchase.  They won't fit you and it's not fair to write a bad review because they weren't cut for you.  We're not all the same size/shape and there's PLENTY of wide boots, wide shaft, high instep boots out there.  This shape is incredibly hard to find!  Thanks~

Love these boots!  Actually, I live in the northeast and resemble a cowgirl about as much as disco music resembles country music....you can see the similarities, right?  This is my second pair of Fatbaby Boots.  The first pair were purchased on a whim "gently used" from a seller on that most popular auction website that Ends in BAY.  At the time I was looking for a sturdy boot to trudge through the icy, sloppy, new England winter in, not looking specifically for a "cowgirl" boot, but the price was unbeatable and I was curious.  Here it is 2yrs later and it can be said that these boots are unbeatable and are still handsome to boot!  They have been worn 5 out of 7 days per week for 3 seasons each year (would have been 4 seasons if I was 40yrs younger!).

Most of my other boots and shoes are an 8.5 or euro 39.  The Fatbaby boots I purchased on the auction website were an 8 and I was a little skeptical about the fit because I normally wear a size 8.5 shoe and can even go to a size 9 in a boot with thick socks on my feet.  I have average width feet, not wide or narrow; I have a high arch and instep as well as a hammertoe on my left foot. (TMI?).  However, the size 8 was perfect!  So, I purchased these new Fatbaby Cowgirl boots in an 8, mostly because they were $20 less than the size 8.5 which I likely would have bought if the prices were the same.

Once again, the size 8 fits perfectly right from the start, even in a brand new boot!  These fit like a shoe approved by the American Orthopedic Association but look as fashionable (Wild?) as the Cowgirls that I imagine they were intended for!  I wear these boots with medium weight wool blend socks.  There is plenty of room for all my toes and there is no pressure across the top of my high instep or at the front of the boot across the ankle.  I can not feel any of the seams or stitching the way other reviewers have written that they can.  The back of the heel sometimes moves but does not rub or bind.  The footbed is not like walking on a cloud.  It is firm but comfortable and very supportive.  The innersole is removeable and I can fit the semirigid type orthotics inside very comfortably if I choose to, but find orthotics are not necessary because the boot is very supportive in and of itself.  The nonskid sole is not lugged and is not as thick as my first pair of Fatbaby Boots (which show absolutely no wear on the tread) but it does seem to be more than adequate. The shaft is soft and supple, not thick and rigid, fabric lined inside and suedelike finish outside. The  height is just right on my leg under wool, corduroy, or denim pants. (I'm 5'6" and weigh about 140 lbs, size 10)  The decorative stitching is lovely, the workmanship is high quality.  The top opening is very roomy on me but I do have thinner than average calves. (Like I said, I'm no cowgirl)

Great fit, Great fashion, Great performance, great price!  These may be my second pair of Fatbaby Boots but I'm sure they will not be my last.  Go ahead....take a walk on the Cowgirl side!

LOVE these boots!! I have such difficulty finding boots that fit me, but La Canadienne always seems to work. Be aware the boot shaft runs quite narrow - not the foot. SO when you see everyone marking narrow it is the boot shaft they are talking about. For me this works nicely. I love that there isn't a huge gap between my leg and the boot and it is just a slender line down my leg. The suede stays up and has a little stretch so fits my leg in leggings well, but I can also put skinny jeans and surprisingly straight legged jeans inside the boot too. My right foot is a tiny bit wide, so I have trouble finding boots that do not pinch my right foot (especially when I put on socks). I do not know what LC does but it molds perfectly to my foot - even with socks on. No pinching. Maybe it is the suede that is more forgiving (I have a pair of leather on the way so we'll see). I typically wear an 8 but for all boots I order the 8.5 for a little extra wiggle room with socks - that works for LC. The boots are stylish and well made. I expect to have these for years. I like they are weather proof and warm. The shorter heel is easier to walk in but still pretty. I thought the tread would make the boot bulky, but you can not tell with them one - stylish and functional. Perfection!

I got these in the mail a couple of weeks ago, and while I haven't worn them out yet (it won't be "fall" here for about another two months), I have worn them around the house to make sure they fit and are comfortable, and I really, really like them! I am an exact 9.5 and I ordered a 9 as most other reviewers said they run a bit big, and they were right. I think a few others had commented to order up, but the 9 fits just fine...I even think I could wear some thick socks with them and still have some toe room. This is my first pair of FitFlop brand anything, but the "wobble board" sole is easy and comfortable to walk around in, and it's cleverly concealed in the design so it doesn't LOOK like a toning shoe. I don't kid myself expecting any super-great butt toning as a result, but I guess every little bit helps! The picture doesn't really do the shoe justice--the sole isn't as obvious in person as it is in the 3/4 view online. From the side, it's pretty incognito, or at least I think so. I think these are much cuter than Uggs since they are a bit more streamlined in fit.

The tops can either be folded down to show the shearling lining or left up, which I like very much. The best thing about these is that they still came most of the way up my calf--sometimes, "tall" boots and I have issues since I have very long legs. I am guessing on a shorter person (I'm 5'10") they would probably be knee-height, but they come to approximately two or three inches below my knee, which is fine with me--they don't cut my calf off at the middle, which is a very unfortunate look (I know from experience, sadly!).

I think these are going to be perfect with some skinny jeans, but would also look right with a corduroy or tweed skirt. The reason they don't get the full five stars is because the sides around the ankle are so soft, I am worried that they may get too soft and permanently crease there, causing them to droop or sag around that area. Also, as another reviewer noted, the sole isn't lined with shearling like an Ugg-type boot is, so you must always wear socks with these, but that's not really too big of an issue. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.
