Good footbed, but baggy/floppy in ankle/calf
345386
I really wanted to like this boot. The footbed was very comfortable and not "pinchy" in the toe box. I have high arches, so that is always a concern when I buy shoes and the arch support was good and the fit over the top of my arch was fine. BUT, the ankle area was really roomy and baggy; it felt like it would get all slouchy over time and my ankle was rattling around in there. The calf was a bit roomy and I have average calves, though it wasn't outrageous. Anyone with skinny calves would not do well with this boot. There was also this strange appearance of stretching in the ankle area when I walked...the boot looked odd there. I ended up sending them back and ordered the Merrell Tetra Waterproof boot. I'll be keeping the Merrells...the ankle was much more tailored, but not tight, and fit a bit more flatteringly.

Very comfortable, but footbed is large. Like the design. Would look great with jeans or navy blue shorts. Bought another Skechers Sandal in same size, and strap was too tight. Can not figure out sizing well.

I thought the design was cute on these shoes (I got the grey print), but they were a little too chunky looking to wear with skirts.  They worked fine with pants and jeans, but I wanted something more flexible style-wise.  The black sole makes them look a little bit like sneakers (not super sporty, though) and I wanted something that could look slightly more dressy if I needed them too.  These were comfy while I tried them on around the house and I like that they're "barefoot" style shoes.  I suppose the wider footbed is what gave them a bigger profile than my other pair of ballet flats.  These are definitely good if you want a comfy casual shoe.

A note on size, these run large.  I'm usually an 8.5 or 9 US, and the 11M is what fit me the best.

These boots fit as expected for me in the foot and around the calf.  I have wider calves and was able to zip them up all the way without an issue.  What I thought was awkward was the shaft in between the ankle and top of the calf.  It is very baggy.  They fit tight  enough at the top to keep the boots all the way up without being slouchy, but then right below that was a ton of empty space which just added more girth to my calves than is actually there.  I felt like they either needed to be tighter along the whole leg or baggier where they would slouch down.  Also, while the boots looked well made, the leather was very noticeably "faux".  Enough so that I felt they looked a little cheaper than I would have liked.

My primary complaint is that they tended to slouch down A LOT as I wore them. Will try some boot stays or adhesive strips to help compensate for the soft synthetic materials. My calf is a lil over 17 inches if that helps anyone

Although I gave a 5-star, the pair is not perfect for my weird feet and legs.  My calves have felt stressful ever since the date wearing them, and my heels hurt more stepping on hardwood floors.  I understand the ergonomic design to have enough support at the arch area in order to reduce the impact on the heels.  HOWEVER, when I stand on my feet especially with the product, I tend to roll back to my heels.  The reason for that is because the sole at the bottom is not flat.  I don't have perfect straight legs, but my calves are bulky and tend to weight shift towards the back naturally.  Since the arch area of the pair is thicker, it pushes my feet weight shifting towards back as well with the help of my own imperfect legs and bulky calves already.  That's why I gave it a 5-star rating, yet the pair are not working for me but perhaps make my heels feeling worse.  Otherwise, the pair is well designed.  Unfortunately, a well design may not be suitable for every individual who has his/her own issues.

Footbed is very comfortable, with the perfect heal height of 1.5". Main con is that the back strap is loose, and the location of the buckle makes it impossible to just add holes to tighten it because you run into the other strap. If the buckle was on the other side or move back just a bit, then it would be more customizable. As it is, the backstrap provides no help in walking; it's just for show.

I bought a size up from what I normally wear. For the most part, these are good boots. They're definitely cute, but even though the boot fits well, I often get a sore spot on the side of my foot and ankle after wearing these. I also don't like how they fit flush with the lower part of my calves. I feel like it makes my legs look a bit stumpy.

Not in love with these boots- the leather is very nice and the shoe fit is good. They're comfortable. But- they're a little more cowboy boot than I'd like. The calf is just too straight and hits at the widest point of my calf, making them look wider. I usually like my boot a bit tighter (to blend better with my actual leg to give an illusion of length) or a bit looser (to draw attention to the boot and to make my leg look smaller than the boot), but this boot sort of comes with built in cankles and hits at an unfortunate place on my calf, bringing attention to the widest spot on my calf . I'm 5"1, so perhaps this boot would work better on a taller person.

Also, the stitching at the top of the boot is itchy and is probably going to leave a rug burn- so you have to wear boot socks with these- not a problem I've had with any of my other boots.

The first few times I put them on/took them off was WORK. I did the plastic bag trick (google it- use a crinkly bag else you're pulling pieces of plastic out of your shoe all day), but they get easier to get on and off.

They run large- I normally wear a 6.5, but like a larger shoe b/c my toes get claustrophobic (don't ask), and ordered a 6.5 and they fit well. In all, lovely boot- just not my style and a lil itchy at the top. I would

A good boot for the price, fit as expected in the foot.  However was large and baggy around the calf so it wasn't the right boot to wear over skinny or straight jeans.

Title says it all. I wanted a non-cotton black sock that was comfortable and didn't bunch up at my ankles over time. These are cushiony in the foot but oddly thin on the leg. They don't stay up very well so I can't recommend them. That said, I want to thank the universe for giving me the privileged, opportunity-filled life that allows me to complain about bunchy socks!

These are about the best value for the price that I have found, but in the size I need, the legs are so long that I have baggy ankles unless I pull them and tuck the extra under my toes.  The size ranges are too broad in my opinion.

These boots are pretty in person, but for me the fit is not quite right. I do sometimes have trouble finding over the knee boots that fit, because my calves are athletic & not skinny-minny. I can get these to fit with tights or leggings underneath, but bare leg they become a "slouch boot" because I can't get them over my knee and as they aren't designed to be they look funny as such. I'd recommend them to someone w/ skinny legs, but not to anyone that sometimes has trouble finding boots that fit - they'll likely be tight.

My calves are pretty skinny... I am always looking for knee-high boots that do not look like galoshes.  There is always too much room in tall boots, so I am very excited when I can find a pair that wrap around my calves nicely.  These boots are a little bit on the loose side, but still acceptably tight.  I love the color and the fit, but am disappointed by the thin leather, and the fraying stitching.  I am usually a true size 7, but I bought a 7.5.  I like that I can wear thicker socks with them, and not have them be super tight on my feet.  The boots are much cheaper than the J Crew boots that I usually buy (this is another brand that fits me well), but unfortunately, you can tell.  Overall, I'm glad that I bought them as they've worked out nicely for more casual purposes, but I doubt that I will buy them again.

I was happy with the footbed, and size was about as expected (I wear a 9 in orthaheel flip flops, and a 9.5 worked better with these, as with other orthaheel shoes, fyi). However, when I stand in them the sides buckle out and they look more like slippers than loafers. The construction seems to be sturdy, but this buckling really made them look sloppy so I'm returning.

I was super stoked to get this pair of boots because I had beanpole legs that swim in most pairs. This brand is high quality, and it was my Christmas splurge with gift cash. Unfortunately, the fit just did not work out for me. First, the quality is top notch and well worth every penny. The material smells and feels just like it should, soft and quality. The stitching is well done, and the cut is perfect.

Unfortunately, the fit is a little weird on this one, and I had an issue with one of the zippers. One of the zippers was stuck, which would have led to an exchange possibly for me, but unfortunately that wasn't the only issue. The length of the boots is tall, even for someone with long legs. It hit my knee at a funny angle, so you should probably measure before you order to make sure you don't have that happen. Also, the sides around the ankles bunched up and looked really awkward when looking at the leg straight on. While this design might work better for someone with thicker ankles, I think most girls with legs this thing will have skinny ankles as well.

Final verdict with all of that was that these had to go back (sad face). That said, I will be trying with this brand again as they add more flat boots. The quality, workmanship, and fit will make it well worth the substantial investment once I find a pair that meets my needs and has everything in working order.

I did actually decide to return these and go with a different pair of boots because these ones were a little to relaxed or "cowboy" looking for what I really wanted. However, If I had the money, I would have kept this pair too because I DO like the relaxed, more rugged look of these as an alternative!

A couple negatives though, they are definitely intended for somewhat wide or more "athletic" shaped calves, and a somewhat wider foot. I wear a size 6 shoe normally, and the size 6 boot fit me fine.

I am shorter than average (almost 5'3") and am proportional and of average weight. I would say my calves are about average, if not just a tiny bit on the larger side for my height and weight. As a reference, I wear a size 2-4 petite (petite/short inseam) in jeans and the boot shaft was slightly loose in the calf area with jeans and a thick hiking sock on. Therefore, by the time the leather relaxed from normal wear, I suspect they would be too large on me. Also, the ankle was too loose.

If you are good with the slightly slouchy, looser fit than you will definitely rock these boots! However, I am a Northerner living in the south, and I just can't pull off that cowboy boot look without feeling like a fraud. So I opted for a boot that I feel more myself in for everyday wear. But as I said earlier, if I had the extra money, I would have probably kept these.

The boots hit me about 2 inches below the bottom of my knee cap. I think these were actually the most flattering of all the boots I tried, but there was something about the heel, in particular that I just didn't like. I think maybe because there was TOO much of a one, that they reminded me too much of cowboys...
