I live in London now but used to live in the States. I saw these and had a friend bring them to me as she was visiting. They are drop dead gorgeous. The leather is a matte finish which makes it look richer than if it were shiny. They are true to size. I am very pleased.

Yes, gorgeous boots, as they should be for the money. Getting them on...priceless. Here's how I do it: I lay on my back with access to a wall. I lift my leg at a 90 angle and pull evenly on the handles. If necessary, I bang the wall with the boot heel. Done and done! Is it worth it? Well, it's worth what they cost. So unless you are up to these particular gymnastics (I'm not seeing myself doing this when I'm 70) don't invest. Other than that...fabulous boot. I usually order 1/2 size down in Old Gringo, but I would recommend you order your normal size for this boot.

This is a gorgeous boot! I am so disappointed that I can't get it on my foot! I don't have trouble with many shoes or boots so this one is puzzling. It is so narrow in the shaft that I can't get my heel down into it. I don't have a high arch, so I can't imagine how this would work for many people. If it did though, I would keep it.

I have four pair of Old Gringos that fit perfect. These boots won't even go on my feet.

Accurate fit, awesome look! Old Gringo so they're pricey; other than that, totally amazing. Looking forward to wearing them from now into the winter.

So fun and awesome boots! I love the design and quality! I didn't have any issues with the size....wear a 9, got the 9 and they are perfect. Easy on, easy off. Room in the toe box. I have nothing negative to say! Get them you won't regret!

Customer care and service was fabulous, will continue to be a Zappos customer. Fit was not right for me on the boots, but they are beautiful!

I've been all over the web looking for the 8" Sora boot in the Orix color in a size 7 with no luck so I thought I'd give the 7 1/2 a try and I'm glad I did. They fit great and look awesome! The colors are bright and beautiful. Yes, they are not cheap but I think the quality is worth it. I'll probably get a pair of gel insoles though just to make them a bit more comfortable. Wish they were cushioned inside.

The Sora Boot is gorgeous! I realize the price is high, but they are worth it. The size 7 fit perfectly and they are very comfortable with ample support.

I purchased this specifically to carry my computer, and really wasn't hoping for much more than a bag large enough to carry it along with the wires and accessories. However, the bag exceeded my expectations and then some! It's very comfortable to carry, and the pocket design allows for quick and easy access to items you need right away. It's nice and sturdy, and I think it will last me many years to come.

It's a good sturdy bag. Fits everything I need but not too bulky. The straps were a bit awkward at first but it serves its purpose. Not as good as my Adidas backpack but I don't regret the purchase.
