Just not as good as the high cut boot

I have been wearing magnum boots for my work for a couple years till now and by far this is the worst pair that I owed. So if you are looking to buy this pair I will really reconsider it.

I am disappointed that the ankle section is too big, especially for a zip up boot.  While the picture appears trim looking, it isn't, at least for me.  I did find the top of the boot narrow enough, which I has been a problem. A pretty boot but not really high quality but commensurate with the price.

I like the style and the fit, but the left boot seems to have a lump/hump under my heel.  It was subtle and I tried adjusting the insole and replacing the insole with two different alternatives - it still feels a bit 'off' though, and my guess is there's something odd about the heel support structure in the boot.  Sadly, by the time I'd concluded it was the boot, I had put too many miles on them to entertain a return - so for now I'll just make due with these.  Fairly disappointing compared to my previous pair of Dunham's - and aside from the heel issue, seems to be a well constructed boot.  At the very least, my right foot is very comfortable in them.

Its looks and feels like it would be a nice comfortable boot, its just not the style Im use to.

I have other Aerosoles boots and love them but for some reason this pair just doesn't fit like the others. I would have returned them but ran out of time to do so. I have a high arch and the boots are tight across the top my foot.

I took the advice of previous reviews and ordered a size up as they were known to fit small many had said. They are really to large and clunky. I don't like the top of the boot - it doesnt fit snugly around the leg at all. Even though they are probably 1/2 size too big for me (I was accounting for thicker socks for winter) I feel like I am wearing my husbands boots.

I really wanted to like these boots.  On the good side they are high quality leather and look expensive, especially for the price.  On the downside, the styling is just a little strange.  My suspicion that the unlaced "lace" area on the lower front of the boot would stick out and look odd was unfortunately confirmed when I put the boots on.  In the box, they look good, but on the foot, that unlaced part sticks out and is most unattractive.  It sticks out even more as you walk around, and I just wore these for about 5 minutes in my house!  You might be able to find some short laces that would keep it down, but that was too much effort honestly.  I think you would have to find perfectly matching leather laces of some kind for it to look good.  On top of that, the heel of this boot is that hard, slippery plastic that makes you sound like a horse clopping around when you walk on hard surfaces.  I would have had to go and have a cobbler fit them with a rubber heel, which I would have been willing to do if the boots had actually looked good otherwise.  But it just wasn't worth the extra expense.  Finally, for me the tightness in the calf wasn't a problem since I tend to have a problem with boots being too large in the calf, but these were actually a little difficult to zip up and I think if you have larger, more athletic calfs, these would probably be too tight.  I also found them a wee bit narrow in the ball of the foot, but I do have bunions and this is an ongoing problem for me.  They are leather so they would probably stretch, but if you have wide feet, these might not be the best choice, especially if you like to wear thick socks.

My expectations were very high and I ended up returning these boots.  I have other Skechers shoes that are extremely comfortable and was hoping these would be too.  They were just ok comfortable.

I thought these would be like the flexible sole boots I purchased in the UK.  They are pretty stiff and the lining is not leather.  I am wear them often. But, I do not get compliments on them.  I am a little disappointed that I spent my Christmas money on these boots.

In the event the Nine West Blogger Harness Boot I ordered prior wouldn't work out, decided to order these  (Kenneth Cole Merit boots) as a back up in my continued search for a riding boot.  This is a well made leather boot and I really like the simple style (suits me very well). The color is fantastic, however, again I was disappointed after trying on. The ankle slouch was very pronounced and not flattering on me. I will continue my search, perhaps looking for 13-13 1/2 calf circumferences.
Gave 3 stars because I like the style, quality of the leather and the color.

This boot was well made but it was way too narrow across the top of my foot. Also, it just doesn't look like the pictures somehow. It's much smaller/shorter with pointier toe and the nylon tabs just kind of hang out in the breeze. I love Fly London but this one didn't work for me. I haven't had much success with their boots unfortunately

I was disappointed at the narrow cut of the shoe, it's not near as cushioned as the three other easy tones that I own. Also the soles are much more raised so you tip while walking. Seller was great with fast shipping but have not returned them yet.

Well, it appears that 5.11 has made a departure from boots that feel great out of the box to those needing break-in.  Also, these seem to fit a little narrow compared to the ATAC boot, which fits me very well.  There is a slight pinch at the ankles and the heel is a little harsh.  I really wanted to like these, but so far... not so much.  I plan to return them and go back to the ATAC 8".

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.

I bought these boots in an effort to replace a pair of fashion cowboy-style boots I have had for over 6 years. I liked the detailed seams on these and the fact that the heel was a little higher than most (I feel this does a little more for your calves if you're going to wear with a skirt). They arrived promptly and very true to the photo, however I sent them back due to the fact that the manmade upper seemed to be very obviously fake. The toe is darker than the rest of the boot, which is backwards of how leather would naturally wear, unless you were polishing only the toes of your boots. I saw the same pair of shoes at DSW last week and it had the same effect. If they had looked more like real leather, I might have kept them, but it would have been tough to talk myself into the heel. It is even taller than expected and actually made the boots pretty uncomfortable. Seems like a 2- 2.5 inch heel would be more appropriate for a cowboy style, at least for my taste! They were true to size and not particularly wide or narrow.

These boots are SUPER cute, but I needed to go a whole size up from my usual. The soles are also really thin, hard, and flat. I added Dr. Scholl's inserts and they were much better.

Cut too high cut into ankle. Have the same shoe in another color and they do not fit the same
