Wonderful
dress boot but also looks great with skinny
jeans. I'm 60 years old with Morton's Neuroma (nerve damage) on the left foot, and after a tear, only a partial ACL on the right knee, and yet I can wear these
boots! I don't think I'd go walking the distance in them; I know my limits, but I wore them inside at work for most of the day when I got them and they were absolutely fine. I usually can't wear any heel at all. I wanted a
dress boot to wear this winter to go with
dresses and long
skirts and decided to pay the price, based on reviews of
La Canadienne. I tried on many
boots in the stores in the $125-$150 range and couldn't wear them, and/or, they just didn't look good. The quality of these
boots are fantastic. One thing. I wore them first with
socks (I was wearing a pair of low heel
cowboy boots at the time) and could sense that despite the softness of the suede, it was going to pinch my foot across the widest part of it and exacerbate the neuroma. (I had no problem at all on my good foot; the left foot is super sensitive to pressure.) Then I got the brilliant idea of switching to a pair of stocking knee highs that I keep in my desk drawer. Problem solved, no pinching; plenty of room inside the boot. Thinner tights will work as well. I wear a size 9 and was considering exchanging for a 9.5 but all I needed was a thinner stocking and the 9 was perfect. I have 15" muscular calves and these zip up no problem. I can even put skinny
jeans inside the
boots without a problem, so there is give. The
boots don't appear to slouch which makes them look very sleek and chic with
dresses. Now to order a flatter heeled, over the knee suede
boots for those other
skirts that need brown...I want a dressy boot that I can walk miles in too, smile.
