User Reviews
These shoes are really nice and well made however they are very narrow so if you have a wide foot forget it. I even ordered the wide width in an 11. 1/2 for my husband which is his normal shoe size but he could not get his foot in them. Too bad because they are sharp looking!
This is my second pair of these shoes. The first I now use as my "kick around" shoes - and the soles are starting to separate. I'm not disappointed - they had miles on them. This new pair is a good-looking shoe and I find it to be comfortable. If you don't like a shoe around your ankle you may want to re-think, but I don't find it an issue. If you walk the streets of New York, you will see a lot of guys with these style shoes - and I am not a fashion-conscious person. ;)
Stiff and narrow--tough to break in. They are fine for an occasional wear.
These are well made, super stylish too. These are my first ever ankle boots so I set low expectations. They blew them out of the water. However, I wear a 14 wide and they fit great however the shoe, when I walk crushes my pinky toe. Idk what that’s about but it’s very uncomfortable. Idk if it’s the size or what but I’m throwing that out there and because idk if it’s my fault or there’s I’m still giving it a 5 star review.
These are my husbands favorite shoes! They have been sold out everywhere in stores and we havent been able to find them anywhere. shouldve just checked amazon!
Low quality, very thin, very quickly creasing, leather. For those used to high quality leathers, you'll feel the difference and then you'll see it after a day of wearing them. For the $60 I paid for them, they are ok. I really like the look of the shoe. The company has nailed the styling. They need to take the leather quality up a notch. I suggest conditioning the heck out of these at least once a month with a good leather lotion to make them last because this isn't the leather your grandfather's Allen Edmonds are made from, far from it. But they're a fraction of the price and look amazing, so enjoy.
I love them for the print. First pair I bought at Macy’s then I found them here and more affordable. The 8 was a bit tight and the 8 1/2 is bit big. But doeable. The first pair did wear a little quick, but only you would really notice and at the Amazon price, who cares. The leather actually wears well. Like a nice aged leather coat. The soles just kind of wear and when you pull, it separates. But I’ll probably buy them again and again. Especially at the cost. Any shoe you wear is going to get damaged or wear from driving, weather, etc. so why not get something nice, that looks good and you like, and affordable to replace.
I buy my shoes on the larger side than I need because I'm up and down and lots of walking all-dayI usually order 13 medium. These I ordered in14 wide for toe wiggle room and I couldn't get these on my foot.These are not wide by any means and the width size is not correct. I don't know if Amazon shipped the wrong size or if the fitting of these shoes is just misrepresented. The length is correct but the width is not. I really like them , 1 star because I they are not the size I expected.Of course I didn't try them on until after the return date had passed (3 days ago) so I'll donate them. $100 pair of shoes. Is it tax deductible? lol.. Anyways I hope there's someone that can use them.
