Carlos by Carlos Santana Women's Brie Bootie Ankle Boot, Brulee, 9 M US Review

Update: I just purchased another pair in black since they were on a great price. Still super comfortable out of the box. Not leather but for $25 I know I'll get a ton of use out of them and still have a bit of a heel.I purchased these booties from Amazon in a size 8, Doe color. I didn't wear them more than once or twice and they were fine when I did... Then, I brought them on vacation and found they were the most comfortable shoe - even more so than my casual sneaker that I usually travel with- for reference, I was wearing them walking through some uneven and/or cobble streets and was walking anywhere from 3-8 miles per day. They're that comfortable and fashionable that I made sure my outfits accommodated them. I'll be ordering the black once I can... Or the price goes down ☺They did pick up some dirty along the way, as expected with such a light color, but it actually makes them look a little broken in which is okay with me.Sizing: I can range from a seven to an 8.5 depending on style because my feet are somewhat wide and the top of my foot is higher. I generally wear an 8 in sneakers and boots will usually be 8/8.5. I ordered an 8 in these and although I manipulate them a bit because of that high part of foot, the 8 fits well and I will order the same size for black. Space at the toes for wiggle room.Regarding width: I did not find these to be extremely narrow even though I have a somewhat wide foot, they are comfortable in how they secure your foot, it feels good rather than tight and does loosen a tiny bit. I wore them with a thin athletic sock or a semi thin generic sock.Only con: with so much walking, perhaps due to uneven road, on one side they began to run the outer edge of my ankle a little, I just pulled my sock a little higher, problem solved.

I've been on the hunt for some cute ankle boots and saw some great reviews and photos for these, so the moment they went on sale I purchased them! If you are in between sizes, I really recommend sizing up. I got a size 6 (I typically fall in between 5.5-6) and it fits perfectly! It's not too loose, but also not too tight. I can wear a pair of tights or socks with these pretty comfortably.The boots themselves are incredibly comfortable to walk around in. I wore these out on a weekend and they've stayed in great shape so far. Pretty well made imo and look great dressed up or down. I've already gotten tons of compliments on them and can pair them up with a lot of different outfits. It's incredibly versatile.

I initially ordered a 5 1/2 , which is my normal size. When the booties arrived, I couldn't get my foot into them, so I think they run small. I realize it's not the majority reviews, but that's what happened to me. I did not, however, give up. I just re-ordered them a half size bigger and now I'm very happy with them. Love the fit, color, comfort, all of it.

Sizing:I am usually a 7.5 or 8 in shoes, and I best fit a 8 in this style. Would go with your larger shoe size if you're between sizes, especially if you plan to wear socks.Pros:- Quality vegan suede; It's hard to come across a well made synthetic suede- this fabric looks and feels beautiful.- Wears well; Carlos synthetic suede lasts longer and looks better than real suede after longterm wear (real suede gets discolored and worn easily).- Comfortable; Can wear all day with no complaints- Side zipper adds great texture for a classic yet stylish design.- Wood heel; No cheap looking rubber heel!- Versatile; I've worn with dresses, skirts, denim, etc.- Short heel; Great for tall gals and those who just love comfortCons:None, so far.

A friend of mine has these and recommended them. Since I was unsure if my normal 7.5 would fit, I did what my friend suggested and ordered both a 7.5 and an 8. The boots arrived and sure enough, the 7.5 was too small (just like many of the reviews said/they run small). The 8 fit wonderfully.. I have had an awful time finding booties that have a little wider toe box. I've had two kids and my feet have widened slightly, but typically not anything beyond an 8 (Again, I'm usually a 7.5). I am planning on getting these in Doe/light tan/gray as well! So cute! VERY reasonably priced. Can't wait to wear these out! Hoping they come out with more low-heeled peep toe booties!

I love these boots. I ordered them cause the pair I’ve had for years are starting to wear out and I wear them almost daily. But these came with a defect or blemish on the side. This is why I hate buying on line unless I absolutely have to. If I’d tried these on in a store I would have purchased a pair without this blemish. But that may benefit the online sellers🤷‍♀️

These are my favorite booties. Extremely comfortable, I love the heel height, and they are versatile. I wear them to work and with my jeans on a night out. They would be perfect if they were waterproof, but I have still worn them all over Italy and Paris on my honeymoon and they were great. Plus I think the price is right. This is my third pair of the brie boots- I wear them almost daily (even in the summer!) and each pair lasts about 1 1/2 years. I get wear on the sides and heel after awhile but they still look great.

I love these boots--the color, the look, the comfort, the versatility. I wear with cushioned arch supports and they aren't too tight or narrow. However, from the moment they came out of the box, my sister and I both agreed they smell like plastic and/or chemicals. If I'm standing or walking, I don't notice but if I'm sitting, they're closer and I can smell them sometimes. I've used so many deodorizing techniques and even wearing them, with no improvement--they don't even smell like feet, they still smell like fake plastic suede. Still, the most comfortable ankle boots I've ever had!
