VOLATILE Black Hole

Overall:

Volatile Black Hole - I had to have these in the blue/purple, because it's unique. I wear a lot of combat-style boots, and these are my new favorites. They're comfortable, if a little short in the toebox on me. A set of gel pads improve the wear. The shaft fits my narrower calves closely, so wider calves beware. They're not warm, but the lug soles make them good for colder weather. And not being leather, they withstand wet and salty conditions beautifully. Gorgeous and wearable.

Overall:

Cute combat boots for cheap. Good for Halloween costumes and goth clubbin. But like other reviews stated, they run small. I wear 7 and ordered 7. The feet part fits because I'm a tiny 7, but the calves just barely zip and I considered myself to have smallish/average calves (between 12 and 13 inch circumference). With thin socks, they're even tighter.

Okay for one year! I got these shoes 1 year ago and that is as long as they lasted. I wore these a lot and the soles finally cracked. I have them in brown and they do not look cheap in that color. I am taking the shoes to a shoe repair man that is truly inexpensive. So maybe I can get another year, if not longer, out of them.

I heard about Zappos from some co-workers and finally checked it out. I wish now I had joined this bandwagon sooner. Zappos is awesome! I wanted some cool boots, but was having a hard time finding what I envisioned in the store; that was not the case with Zappos! They have an amazing selection and fabulous prices! And the free shipping is a huge plus. I'm in love! And I can't stop telling my friends about Zappos, too. So check it out & spread the word!

Just got these sandals and they are great! The picture does not do them justice since they are so much prettier. I ordered the brown and they are a faux croco, the color is just right, and I can wear them either casual or dressy. The wedge is nice and high, good for long pants, and they are so comfortable. Zappos shipping policy is fantastic, I got these in less than 24 hours! I am delighted with this company, and the products are terrific.

Fantastic. I absolutely love these boots. I can't believe how comfortable they are right out of the box. The "black" is really more of dark gray, as indicated in the picture. Incredibly comfy and cute boots. I'm happy with my purchase.

I bought these boots and they were a disappointment. The very first time I wore them some of the "leather" scraped away to reveal the lighter layer underneath. I wore them two more times and then the sole completely fell off. Do not recommend.

I Really like this boot and when I tried it on it was a bit snug in the calf area. I just loosend the laces and it fit well. When I tired to buckle the strap It did not fit. If you have thicker calves, I would not suggest purchasing this boot. If I did not have the strap issue, they would be perfect.

These are fantastic flip flops! The wedge is high enough for long pants, but they look great with capris, and they are so comfortable! They can be dressy or casual, and you can\'t beat Zappos lightning fast shipping! I bought them in black and silver, and I\'m extremely happy with this purchase.

I absolutely love these boots. I get compliments every time I wear them. The only downside is the width is a little narrow at the top. I wear a size 10-10.5 and a 10W would've definitely been a perfect fit (I bought a 10). Otherwise, this shoe is great!

Overall:

I love these boots. They are very adjustable for calf size, as comfy as boots can get, and look amazing. The sizing is way off, though. I normally wear a size 7, and I read the other reviews and went up to an 8. I'm very happy I did. Even a 7.5 would have been too small! They are a tiny bit loose, but the boot keeps my feet from moving around at all, and the extra space will be nice when I put some inserts in these. I'm very happy with my purchase. And Zappos was so lovely as to upgrade my shipping for free.

I bought these shoes for my outdoor wedding to my tall groom. They came fast and looked just like online. They wear like flip flops, but still feel glamorous! After the wedding I think they will continue to be one of my favorite pairs.

I was lucky that I read the reviews before I bought these and saw that other people had issues with the size. I usually wear a nine, and so I ordered a ten and they fit perfectly, whereas they would have been too small if they were a nine. Overall, these boots have a fantastic style, and after wearing them for day to break them in a little, are rather comfortable. I am very happy with my purchase.

Overall:

All around, it's a good boot. It's comfortable (for the most part) and attractive (for a combat boot). They really are not true to size. I'm often a 7.5. I read somewhere that these boots in particular run small. They definitely do. I decided to order them in my regular size and half a size larger (free shipping both ways so I knew it wouldn't be the worst idea ever). I am sending both pairs back for yet a larger size. So, these boots are far off the mark for sizing. But the fact I am going through with ordering a third pair should tell you that the boot is worth it.

I was nervous about shoe shopping online at first, but being able to return 100% with a year to do it I worried a little less about being able to try them on first. No worries here! This shoe looks good with anything and are amazingly comfortable. I got them to wear with a dress and have even been wearing them with jeans and the like. I wore them all day and night and my feet never hurt and had no blisters. Great shoe!

I got these boots for my teenage daughter and they are very nice. The leather is soft and the zipper makes them really easy to put on. We had looked at Dr. Martens, but they were just too expensive. She liked these much better anyway. She wears about a 7 1/2, but I got her an 8 and they fit perfect. She says they are very comfortable, no blisters or tough breaking in time. Great boots.

Not comfortable; these looked so cute online and when I got them I really liked them. I don't think they look cute with skirts or skinny jeans. I wear them under boot cut jeans and they look cute, but start becoming uncomfortable after about 30 minutes.

Overall:

I bought this pair of shoes specifically for a weekend girls get-away to California because I thought I could dress them up or down. I also loved the height and was encouraged by all the other reviews about how comfortable they were. The foot bed is amazingly soft and they are comfortable; my only mistake was only bringing this pair of shoes. After wearing them exclusively on my travel day, through airports, etc., and on our first full day of vacation fun I began to develop a blister on both feet under the strap. Had I worn these at home more to get my feet accustomed to them before the trip I think I would have been fine. I wear them every few days now with no problem, but recommend breaking them in a little if you plan on packing light for a vacation.

Reviewer: from Boston

Overall:

Answer for blister problem. The manufacturer tag on each shoe strap causes it to stick to your skin. Once I cut it out, I had no problems, but it was very hard to cut out and I did nip the lining by accident. I have to say I got mine for considerably less at a discount store, but feel so bad I am buying a 2nd pair. My only complaint is that they do stretch out (the strap between your toes gets longer with wear) and then it's hard to hold them on. The traction is great; I ran a football field at 2 U2 concerts in them with no issues and stood all day, so maybe that is why they stretched! I thought they were true to size.

Reviewer: Kris L from Chicago

Overall:

I usually wear an 8. Very occasionally a 7.5. The 8 in these just barely did not fit. I probably could have gone with them, toe just touching the edge when walking, but I didn't think I could dance in them so got an 8.5, which are comfortable. I wore them all day and no pain or tiredness. My right boot also started making a slight squeek halfway through the first day. All that said, these are great boots! Girlish but rugged at the same time.
