Chinese Laundry boots -
I ordered these in brown and black and they are truly very, very comfortable boots. I absolutely loved them, but be forewarned, these shoes have NO tread!!! I have slipped on every type of floor (wood, tile, etc.), the yellow paint on the edge of sidewalks, anything even remotely slick. I nearly broke my foot on three occasions, but I couldn't give them up. They were so comfy and cute!

Looove these boots -
I looove these boots, they're never coming off my feet! I was a little disappointed by how big they were around my calves, but I wear ankle warmers underneath them and solved that. So overall I am very, very happy with them.

Great boots -
These boots are so comfortable and look great! The soles are a little slippery... and they look big around the calves. I have very skinny legs, but other than that... I love them!

TOTALLY AWESOME!!
The day I bought these, I walked seventy blocks in them (three and a half miles) and my feet didn't even begin to feel the least bit sore until after fifty blocks (two and a half miles). I think that's pretty good for the shoes never having been worn before. I will have to buy a second pair soon (if they ever get my size in stock) because I wear these ALL THE TIME. And these shoes are PERFECT for people with wider calves (which I have). They are slightly stretchy and they look REALLY good with leggings/tights.
I highly recommend!

Loooove them!
I absolutely love these boots. I was torn between these which have a tiny bit of ruching on the top of the boot, and their other style that does not have any. But the ones without ruching they did not have in my size, so I was forced to get these... and I could not be happier with them! I love these boots, and I don't think it matters which style you go with! I want to get more colors. I do wish they went a tiny bit higher on the leg though, that'd be hot.

Great boot!
They are really cute boots and can be worn with many different styles. However, the black suede gets scratched and damaged even with careful wear. My heels got blisters even when worn with socks. Overall, tho, I feel that they were a good buy for the price and look.

It's a little snug on the width, but opens up after wear. Look is really cool and fun.

Great versatile boot -
This boot is great! I've found that I can wear it so many ways. I can wear it up so it hits above the knee, folded down below the knee, or slouched for a more retro 80's look. It looks great with pants, dresses, tights, anything! It also fits my larger calves, which is amazing. The only downside is that the price seems a little high for the quality of the boot. Otherwise, its a great shoe.

Impressed!
First off, I have to say how impressed I am by Zappos; I received these boots in half a day's time after ordering them! As for the shoes, I am VERY picky about my boots, and these passed the test-- and for such a good/low price! You can wear them up, folded down, or scrunched-- and to my surprise, the boots look great in each style. These work really well over skinny jeans or leggings, but are a little looser on bare legs. I was slightly under whelmed by the sole. One can see the glue work, which is on the leather as well...looks a little slapped together. All in all, happy with my purchase.

Cute boots -
I really like these boots. The only problem is that the bottoms are a little bit slippery. I went to my shoe repair man and had him put rubber soles on the bottom and the problem is solved.

Just what my daughter was hoping for!
I already knew my daughter would love these since she has them in black already. Could not believe how fast they got to our house!!

These Boots Rock!!
These boots are awesome! Many of the other reviews are right on. I normally wear a 7-7.5 and ordered a 7, they fit perfect! They are so comfortable, they don't need any breaking in. I wore them all night around NYC and my feet felt fine! I have really small calves, but these aren't too bad. They slouch a little bit, but it goes with the look because they are permanently cinched a little on the top of the foot. I am 5'5 and they just cover my knee caps. I love them up, but they look great folded down too. Seriously, these boots are hot and comfortable too! I definitely recommend them!

My Boots -
These boots ROCK! I have gotten so many compliments, its exciting to wear them. I am usually a 9, but I ordered a 9 1/2. They were a little loose, but I felt a 9 might have been too fitting on my feet. I just wear thick socks with them. I am definitely ordering another color. Don't second guess yourself. These are the boots for you!

IF YOU HAVE BIG CALVES THESE ARE FOR YOU -
For all you ladies out there that have big calves and have been looking for a shoe boot to fit over them, this is the boot. I have 16.5 inch calves and wear a size 7.5 and I took a chance with ordering something online (which I never do) but I was so desperate that I did it.
I want to order them in other colors now because who knows if there is another boot like this out there!
Happy Shopping!
PS. When Zappos promises overnight shipping they mean it!

Really nice boots -
I'm very happy with these; the front comes well over the knee on me (although I have short legs, so they might be shorter on others) and they can be folded down to be under-the-knee, also. The boots look really nice either way. The toe is a little narrow; I bought my usual size but I think a half-size larger would be perfect. Still, they're plenty comfortable and I can wear them all day. (Several compliments on them, too!)

Great boots, just like Serena on Gossip Girl!
I first saw these boots worn by Serena on Gossip Girl in grey. They were sold out everywhere, so thank goodness for Zappos. These boots work for gals w/ skinny calves. I am a true size 7, but can wear a 6.5 in these; the shaft is narrower if you go down half a size (which I recommend if you have very skinny calves). Very comfy and although they are flat boots, you won't look short. Zappos rocks!

Okay...
I just got these and I really like the overall style of this boot (and I'm going back and forth about this vs the other one CL makes that's taller, but essentially the same boot). I'm concerned about the report that they're slippery. The elastic at the back of the boot is a little unattractive, but the rest of it is so nice that I'm thinking of keeping them. I typically take a 9 in boots, but took the advice of other reviewers and ordered an 8.5 and am glad I did. They fit perfectly with medium-weight socks on.

I have very wide calves and these fit right out of the box. The brown color is actually more of a charcoal gray. Beautiful!

I love them!
These boots go with anything and look incredible. You can fold them down or leave them up high, so they are two styles in one. They're pretty comfy and are the best flat boots I've found to date.
BE CAREFUL IN THESE. I've had them for two weeks and have fallen three times. They have NO traction on pavement (crossing the street, for example), and your feet will fly out from under you at any time. It's kind of scary. But maybe it's just me, I am clumsy.

Wowza -
I love these. I was having a hard time finding casual/dressy flat boots that would fit my calves, and these are perfect! They look great either up or folded down. The size was great as well, pinched a little on the first wear, but now they are fantastic. I've also seen at least two other girls on the streets wearing this boot.

A good buy!
Very comfortable and stylish! A bit slippery sometimes, otherwise that would be my only concern. The boots look great; I've gotten compliments on them. I bought a 9 (usually I'm an 8.5-9) and they're a bit big, but OK to wear. Very happy with the boots!

Nice boots, super comfortable -
Great boots, a little darker than expected but definitely nice. Very comfortable to walk in. I like them tall as I am fairly tall, but even I turn them down occasionally. All in all, a great pair of boots I will hopefully have for a while.

AWESOME!!
These boots are so HOT on. I hurt my ankle and have been wearing a lot more flats lately but couldn't find boots that looked sexy without a heel on them but these are IT! They make my short lil legs look really long, the toes are very cute and make my feet look small and they are SUPER comfy! I would definitely recommend them as they'll go with a lot of stuff.

I love these boots. My calves are on the wider side, so I have trouble buying tall boots. But these fit great!

 |  | Zappos is the best! I have to say that Zappos is one of the fastest shoe delivery companies that I have ever dealt with. I ordered the Pritzy shoe on Sat 8/23 for a wedding that my sister was having on Fri 8/29 and it arrived on Monday! I have to say that I was so impressed. The shoe itself is one of the prettiest shoes that I have seen in a long time. It matched the shoes that the bridesmaids were wearing. I am not only happy with my purchase, but the shoe itself was the talk of the wedding. |  | ~ Lourdes L, September 08 2008
