I absolutely love these boots. Never seen a pair like them, never will. The entire Tin Haul collection are all special, but the (subtle) flamingos, black leather and totally cool art soles totally won me over. The boots are incredibly well made. Everything about them is good quality - design, implementation, and material. Tops, bottoms, interiors, soles, stitching, colors, the works! I expect them to last, and to age well. I am not a regular cowboy boot wearer, but I really couldn't resist this purchase and entirely plan to get some stuff in my closet specifically to wear with them. I would consider myself a sizing expert at this point. I am a regular size 8 shoe. I bought an 8.5, an 8, a 7.5 and a 7 to try. I called Tin Haul about sizing and was recommended to try a 7 or 7.5. Initially I thought the 7.5 was the right fit - the boots can be hard to get foot through the ankle turn into the footbed. However, not knowing any differently, I only tried one boot on in front of a mirror. Turns out it is vital to try on both boots and walk around with cowboy boots to give them a test. The 7.5 was actually too big and there was a lot of lift in the heel when walking. I exchanged them for another pair of 7's ( I had already returned the first pair of 7s I bought, and never tried to put on). Perfect fit once I could get my left foot in. Right foot, no issues. They are gorgeous. And comfortable, even on first wear. Multiple people have commented on them, already. I could not have had a better experience buying from Tin Haul - they were so helpful with sizing information, shipping, returns and general communication. I feel like if you stumble upon this company as I did (pure chance) and fall in love with a pair of their boots, you will have some footwear unlike any other that you will really value. I hope this review is useful, cos I love these boots!
The boot are beautiful and well made. Unfortunately the shaft is too narrow for my high arch foot even though I ordered them a half size larger than I usually wear (this was based on other reviews I read). I couldn't get them on. Too bad. I would have liked to add them to my collection of boots.
I gave them two stars because they are gorgeous and I want so much to keep them but I am not a masochist and you would need to be to wear these boots. I normally wear a size 9 and that's what I initially got but I could not get my foot in. I had doubts that a 9.5 would solve my problems but as I said I wanted them bad so I tried. I was able to get my foot in but it felt like someone had put my foot into a vise. I knew they would never "break in" enough to fit my feet unless I ripped the side seams and let my end toes hang out so back they are going....Sadly.
Loved the art and design.
They are the cutest boots I have ever owned. I have wanted them for two years but was reluctant to pay the regular price. The price was right and they got here more quickly than I expected. I love them.
A bit tight at the ankle so effort needed to put on. But, once on, very comfortable!!!
Love these boots, but getting them on is a challenge--the 'turn' between the shaft and the footbed is really narrow. Hoping that as the leather softens it will be easier.
I loved the look of these, but was disappointed in the actual product (it was returned). The first thing I noticed was the flamingos are not stamped / dyed into the leather. There are more of an printed appliqué that felt thin and fragile, and was sure to tear or wear off in short order. The leather also felt dry - not quite brittle, but definitely have been on the warehouse shelf for a while. The deal breaker was the soles (or lack thereof!). To display the super-cool graphics printed on the BOTTOM of these boots, the soles are clear (slick) plastic or acrylic with NO tread whatsoever. NOW I see why they printed neat flamingo graphics on the bottom of the shoes .... so when one tries walking on a hard floor with smooth hard soles and gets flipped rear-end-over-teakettle, amused bystanders will have pretty pictures to look at on the bottoms of your skyward facing feet. I hated to return them because they looked like so much fun, but these boots ain't made for walking.
