Customer Reviews Stacy Adams Madison Boot

The boot is not good. I had a pair I got 4 years ago and they were great. I ordered a new pair recently and the heel began to come off after just a few wears. Then Zappos replaced them with another pair which did the same thing. Then replaced with a third pair which did the same thing. Zappos was very helpful. I like the style, but the boots are not well made in the heel.

I searched high and low to find early 20th century style dress boots. I loved the look of these boots as much as the Allen Edmonds and Johnston and Murphy's but at a lower price. I decided to purchase these and it was perhaps the most regrettable decision that I have ever made on shoes. These were flat out the most uncomfortable dress shoes that I have ever owned. I kept them, thinking that after a few wears they would break in and be comfortable. But I wrong! They went from bad to worse. The leather is thin, and it creased in about one month and the footbed literally has zero padding. The thing that made them the worst were that you can feel the ground like you are walking with no shoes. If you step on a single pebble it feels like you did it barefoot. Furthermore, they make a loud sound when you walk. If there was a minus rating, I would give it. I should have went with the Allen Edmonds.

Beautiful, but unwearable! When trying these shoes on, I found their shank was not strong enough -- I could feel the hard forward edge of the heel underneath my instep. They are, however, truly gorgeous shoes, so if the fit and construction are fine for you, go for it.
