User Reviews
I have terrible feet, and I can’t wear boots. I have a very high instep, Achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis. That means I can’t even get my foot into boots and if by some miracle I did, it would be excruciatingly painful. In fact, the last time I wore boots (ten years ago, before I found these) I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even bear to leave them on or take them off. I took hydrocodone to try to deal with the pain and ended up cutting them off (and destroying them).But, I really wanted a pair of boots to wear so I started looking again and I found these. Three things convinced me to give them a try: 1) Lifestride brand, which I’ve had very good luck with in the past; 2) The zipper that goes all the way up the back, which makes it easier to slip my foot straight into the boot rather than trying to contort it into a weird position; and 3) The “stretchy” fabric construction, which accommodates my high instep. Oh yea…they look great, as well.These boots aren’t just very comfortable boots. They’re one of my most comfortable pair of shoes, and are definitely the most comfortable pair of “dress” shoes that I own. The heel gives great stability, and even my super high arches are happy.I hoped these would work out, but they have far exceeded my expectations. I’m considering purchasing a second pair just to have on hand for when these eventually wear out.
These boots are great. They look like they do in pictures. They fit as expected. (Size 8) They are fairly comfortable. I definitely couldn’t wear them for a really long time or anywhere I was going to be doing a lot of walking but I have weird feet so if the insoles don’t have pretty good cushion I can’t wear them for very long. Someone with normal feet probably could wear them for longer and be fine. All in all these are great.
I ordered and received this item for a last minute trip out of town. They arrived right on time and fit perfect. I was able to wear them immediately and the sock like foot & shaft were very comfortable. The heel height is good and the boot looks dressy .Definitely recommend this boot for anyone want a comfortable and reasonably priced boot.
Very cute boots, but a bit tight in the toe box for me. I did keep them, but unable to wear thick socks with them.
Fits great, well made, I don’t wear heels but feel comfortable in there.
Very nice model but too narrow .
These were so cute and comfy! I ended up returning because the heel was high for this tall girl. But, I was really sad to return them. They were super cute and so soft! Fit was true to size.
I get so many compliments every time I wear them! Fashionable, yet so comfortable!
