I got these boots yesterday and I love them. They are warm and comfortable and the fit nice. But they need a zipper because they are hard to get on. Once on, they are great and taking them off is no problem. They should have put about a 2 inch zipper in them so that you can put them on more easily. Other than that, perfect!!

Comfortable boots with good arch support. Hard to get on, but very nice once you shoe-horn ‘em on. I haven’t tried them in very cold weather yet . . . I like the leather more than the suede – got one of each . . .

I really wanted the black leather ones, but the “British tan” suede ones costed $50. 00 less so I bought those. They are a half size larger than most shoes, so I have to wear them with an insole beneath the one that came with them, plus thick hiking socks. They are very difficult to get on since there is no zipper, but once on they are very roomy – in fact, still too big without an extra inner sole. I’m sure they’ll be easier to get on each time I wear them.
Because suede stains & spots easily, and I need these to be waterproof for work, I first coated them with Sno-Seal (made primarily with beeswax), and then I painted them with black fabric spray paint, but used a craft paint brush. Even with the coat of Sno-Seal the suede drank up the fabric paint, so I had to apply several coats of it. Then I applied more Sno-Seal. I work in refrigerated rooms on very cold, wet tile floors, and also have to walk several miles on dry concrete floors each work day, so I need comfortable, warm, lightweight, and waterproof shoes. It’s tough to find the right combination of qualities in footwear for my job, but for most people these boots should be fine if they buy a half size smaller than usual.
I don’t know why a company would manufacture a light-colored suede boot for wet winter conditions. . . No wonder they costed so much less than the leather ones!

These ankle boots are really attractive and seem well-constructed. The soles should provide good traction on wet and/or slippery surfaces. My only recommendation would be to have a zippered opening at the neck of the boot. It is a tight fit sliding one’s foot into the boot. Once inside, however, the boot is roomy enough and comfortable, so I don’t think a larger size would be the answer to the snug entry. Shipping was very prompt, and they were priced significantly less than from other vendors.

I love this boot. It’s a little hard to get on, so I ordered a bigger size, which I shouldn’t have done. Eventually it will stretch enough so you can get it on easier.
But it’s comfortable and very cute.
