User Reviews
These go with everything, good fit and neutral color
I ordered a size 8 (which is my true size) and they are just a tad snug . Possibly because they come to a point. Hopefully they will stretch a little or maybe a thinner sock might work. They are not so bad that I would send them back. I am very impressed with the look! They do not look cheap and the heal is a perfect length. I’m happy ☺️
Update Nov. 2021: I did use a shoe stretcher and the toe area is plenty comfortable now. I love these boots! One thing I have noticed is that the right heel is showing some wear and tear in that the stripes are rubbing off from driving. I am going to start wearing some driving shoes to avoid further damage.Original Review:These boots are so super cute! I love the ash color which is a beautiful neutral taupe! They are pretty comfy, but unfortunately a little narrow through the toe area. Getting a wide wouldn't work for me, since these are also a little wide across the heel area. I'm hoping the toe area will stretch out with wear and feel a little better. Maybe I'll try a shoe stretcher. They're just too cute to send back! I will say that they're uncomfortable on just one of my feet, which has a bunion. If you don't have a bunion, you may find the boot to be just fine. And actually, the boots are wide enough to accommodate the bunion. The problem is that the toe area is fairly narrow which causes the toes to rub and even cross over a bit. One other little problem was that the sole on the left boot had a tiny color defect right up front. I repaired it with a furniture stain pen. I hope the repair will last.
So comfortable I can wear them all day with absolutely no discomfort, and they look great with jeans.
I ordered these boots twice, once in my regular size 9 and regular width and once in a size bigger and wide width. The ones in my usual size were so tight and small I couldn’t even get them on my feet. The ones in a bigger size with a wide width I could get on my feet, but they were ridiculously uncomfortable and super narrow at the toes. I unfortunately returned both pairs, because despite being super cute I just could not subject myself to this level of toe-squeezing misery.
Fits true to size! Very comfortable, and they look super cute with pretty much everything. Great buy for the money!
These booties looked so lovely on line and I have always had good luck with LifeStride so I was very disappointed when they arrived. Although the fit was fine and they seemed comfortable enough, the faux leather looked terribly cheap. I bought the ash which looked nothing like the picture. In addition, the toe was quite pointy although the description says it is rounded. In the end, I just couldn't get past the cheap looking faux leather - so back they will go. So disappointed.
Love the fit, style and color. Very comfortable. I can wear them all day and my feet do not hurt. I will be ordering a pair in tan/brown as well.
