IMPECCABLE!
The workmanship on these jeans are awesome! Picture does jeans no justice! Embroidery is elaborate yet understated with the tones at the same time. Perfect balance for a man who likes to look good but not scream it. Two thumbs up to Akademiks for this one!

Dazzling -
Bought this for my Wife. She loves the fit and says it stretches in the right places when she walks and sits. She really likes the design of the studs and that it is an eye catcher. She wears it to the movies and out shopping. Looking forward to taking it to the beach. Great buy for anyone wanting a short little skirt with eye appeal.

Great Shoes!
Ok...so the leather is a little hard at first. But if you just put some Mink Oil on them and wear them for 2 days, they are as comfortable as slippers! Oh yea...tons of compliments!

Not so much...
I got these shoes in November of 2007. It is now April of 2008 and they look three years old. These shoes look awesome, at first, but if you plan on rocking them daily look elsewhere. They are not the most comfortable shoe also. If only they held up like my Lakai’s!

Oh so sexy -
Fits great, you can dress it up with a nice pair of sexy sandals or go for comfort by pulling the elasticized legs up to wear as capris and slipping on a pair of flat thong sandals. I can't wait till it gets warm!!!

My Valentine’s Day present -
So it’s the most romantic day of the year and I step into my fiance's car where there is a bag waiting in my seat. As I open the bag, I believe I am pulling out my new deflated disco ball. Little did I know, I would be wearing this disco ball! I live in Alabama where we tend to spotlight people and animals. With my hips rotating and my waist swaying and the spotlight shining, I will the brightest disco ball in the south. Well, at least in my field!

Boyfriend style jeans -
These are beautifully embroidered and fit well in the waist but they aren't tight as you would imagine a girl’s pair of jeans to be. I would describe them as more of a "boyfriend" fit style of jean. They fit your waist but are loose and baggy throughout. Great product but not what I expected. I had to return them and I'm still waiting to choose something else.

These Boots Are H-O-T!!!
Plain and simple, these boots are HOT! The fit seems to be true to size, I wear 8.5 and bought and 8.5 and it fits fine, and it was able to accommodate my larger calf without being overly tight, :0) which made me very happy! I haven't worn them all day yet so I can't speak for all day comfort but you sure will look cute wearing them all day ;0)

Beautiful, but disappointing -
These books look just a beautiful at home as they do on the web, but I ordered my correct size (8) and my foot kept slipping out of the boot when I walked. Nice boot, but poor fit.

A class act -
I own the green blizzard boots. The look is rough & sexy at the same time. It shows your ready for the weather, but the heel adds dash of sex appeal. An comfort, it appears that the heel is high but its like wearing sneakers. I purchased the black ones 1 week later & now im buying the light blue. Its a must have item for the winter.

High heel boots hot AND they feel like sneakers!
I ordered these last night. This morning I received them from UPS. Yes, that was an overnight delivery! I couldn't believe how fast Zappos shipped the boots, and free too! I took the other's advice and ordered a 1/2 size down. I was skeptical about doing so because I like to wear thick-ish socks with boots but I am very glad I did. I pulled the shoes out of the box and put them on right away. They are very toasty warm and SO easy to walk around in. They truly feel like sneakers. I have average sized calves and was able to tuck my jeans into the boots nicely. I LOVE the lace up back - it gives the shoe a sex appeal that other boots just do not have. In my city the popular boots are Uggs. Ugh!
I chose the brown because I have a brown puffy coat and my favorite bag (Chloe/Paddington) is chocolate brown. I think it will go with most things in my closet - a good neutral shade. I gave the boots 4 stars because I think it could use a little improvement in the design. The ankle gets a little slouchy when you walk around, it would look better in a really good quality of leather, and I wish it had loops to help pull the boots on. The zipper at the bottom is only a partial zipper so you have to pull it on using the rabbit fur (which feels like it is kind of delicate). It will be interesting to see how long they hold up.
Again, a 4 star rating is pretty good! I would consider buying another color. They are warm, comfortable, and look so cute! I might even go so far as to say they make my thighs look a little slimmer. Buy these boots - they're worth a look anyway. :)

These shoes are NOT worth it at all!!
Don't buy these boots. # 1 the zipper is very cheap and I couldn't get it to go down and when I finally did, it got stuck going down. Not because of the fur but because the zipper is just too cheap. It's the strength of a zipper for a silk dress and the boot is VERY heavy weight. Also, I think the whole thing is just too bulky. I don't find it attractive at all! It's just a major disappointment. Look for something else in my opinion. Good luck!

Nice boots -
I really liked them. But, I was a bit shocked as to the material; I would have rather had some sort of leather type material for the price. I don't think they will wear well long term without the fabric fraying at some point. Otherwise, I they are very comfy and the right height I was looking for. If I send them back it will be because of the fabric.
I have to say I could not believe the prompt service I got I just ordered them and they were here the next day! Most awesome!

Very Hot Shoe!!!
I got plenty of compliments on this shoe. I am a hairstylist and was able to work in them 8 hours. They were pretty comfy. Also we have wood floors at work and these shoes were very quiet. Love them wish they came in other colors!!!

These shoes are not durable -
I bought these shoes based on looks alone, and they looked the part, but only for a couple of weeks. They did not wear well at all, it has been only about 2 months since I purchased them and they have already shown significant wear. I am very disappointed with this purchase and would not recommend these shoes for anyone. The top portion of the shoe is covered by a woven "hemp" like material, and it only took a couple of walks before the flexing of my foot totally destroyed the "hemp" material. A shoe is supposed to be designed to bend and flex when walking, but obviously this was a large oversight on the part of the Akademiks company. Overall I am very disappointed. I'm not saying stay away from Akademiks as a brand, I would just stay away from any shoe that uses the "hemp" material, because it just flat out is a horrible material for any shoe.

 |  | TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Thank you so very much for sending the shoes I ordered by overnight express! I received the email telling me they were coming priority and I would not be charged extra. I will continue to order shoes from Zappos. This gesture to me has "sealed the deal"! Thank you for being so kind! Sincerely, Susan K. |  | ~ Susan K., April 19 2008
