Sadly, I've worn a few times with thick socks, extra footbeds and even an ankle brace, but they are just too big. I ordered 8 wide which should have been right, but felt like it was a 9 ! Should have sent back right away but now am stuck with an expensive boot that doesn't fit. I had a pair bought many years ago in brown (men's size that fit) but after so many years they allow my ankle to turn. Don't know why the black ones I got recently are so big!

These boots are nice looking and seem to be well-made. I'm usually a 6.5-7M; I ordered these in a 6.5M and while it felt ok in the toe and arch area, my heel kept coming up in the back. This despite wearing thicker socks. I also wasn't crazy about the shaft height -- I know the ropers are a little shorter than regular boots but I didn't care for the way it looked on me. And there was a pretty big gap around the top of the boot and my leg. So...nice boot but nah.

Was recommended to buy these by a few other ladies in construction. Turns out when you only go out in the field once a week these are great, however I wasn't so fortunate. I work in commercial construction walking upwards of 4-6 miles a day and these only lasted about 6 months. Started wearing two pairs of socks just for comfort because the soles were so thin. Might have just been because they're round toe (heard it's a round toe thing), but they what I would call "busted" and it would look and feel like I was walking the outer sides of my feet. Weren't as bad to break in as I've heard for ariats, but recommend taking your old pair of boots with you to work for a day or too as they do run snug for a few days. Overall would buy ariats again because I don't feel these are a great work boot- more of a hybrid or office boot.

I typically wear a size 6 so after reading all the reviews that these run big, and knowing I’d probably want to add an insert, I ordered a 6. Could barely even get my foot down on it. So I then ordered a 6 1/2 and they are very snug with no extra room at all. So I’ve now ordered a 7 and we shall see. They do seem like they will be very comfortable and they look really nice although I bought them more for outside work around the house. I would def wear them out with jeans and a sweater or something. Fingers crossed the next pair are keepers!

I loved these boots but the soles are coming apart at the seams where they are stitched, I mean chucks are just coming off. I take care of my boots and condition the leather and don't do any rough work in the just basic outside work and everyday wear. They were great until this year.

I expect to be able to wear boots after a week with just socks. Not bandaids and socks. Then after a month - no socks required.
The interior of these boots leaves something to be desired. The interior seems are sharp and pretty thick. So using my Dremel to take the edges off.
Other than that, a quality product. Just not meant for the everyday wearer.

I have bought many pairs of these Ropers boots over the years, and I like them so much that I thought to buy another pair-(note: during Covid19..) in case this style would not be made anymore. Well... apparently, the dye color is a dark brown now- and also not distressed looking. Upsetting. I am returning them today, and hoping that with my friendly note, they will send the original color---- If so, I would buy 2 pairs. ( In case the new "distressed brown" is forever gone). The Ropers are GREAT boots! Comfortable, durable , and sweet looking!

I've always worn Ariats and love them but they are manufactured in China and in this current Covid crisis I certainly would prefer only to purchase items made in the US. I'll be looking for a new boot manufacturer for my next purchase.

I wanted to love these boots but they were too narrow and the stiff upper hit my shin when walking. I know if I purchase an uncomfortable shoe it will stay in the closet after a few attempts to wear it.

Length was good. Width was somewhat narrow even with a narrow foot. A thick seam inside. Most disappointing thing is boots really aren’t as pictured. There was little to no variation in the coloring at all. Stitching was the same brown as the boot, so no contrast there like is pictured online. And the boots themselves were all the same brown vs the variations in brown shown on the online picture. So instead of being a brown boot with some distressing/stitching contrast, it was just a plain all brown boot. We sent them back for that reason.

I really want these boots to work! I first bought 9 (wide) and the width was perfect but the boots felt too long. So I ordered the 8.5 (wide) and they were SO much smaller I literally couldn't get one of them on. So I'm sending back the 8.5, keeping the 9, and crossing my fingers I don't end up with blisters because they are in fact too long. All this because they are so cute. We'll see if it's worth it!

These run a full size too large. I ordered a 7 and needed a 6. I ordered the size 7 on a Wednesday and had them the following day, Thursday. While I ordered a size 6 on that Thursday morning, I was advised I wouldn't receive them until the following Monday so I canceled the order. They were exactly what I wanted but they would have arrived too late.

I first bought these in a size 8.5. My heel slipped around, so I exchanged for a size 8. I could barely get my foot in, and that was only when wearing the thinnest socks. I really wanted to love these boots - nice quality, attractive, fit wonderfully under and over jeans. Just terribly uncomfortable!

These are great boots but there is 1 downfall: they smell weird! Like new leather and sweat. I've been wearing them for a while now and they still stink! I'm considering getting them professionally cleaned.

I bought these boots about a year ago and love them so much I ordered another pair. I wear 11B (unusual) so the size availability was important. However the new pair arrived 1/2 size smaller, even though they were stamped 11B. I sent them back disappointed.

Mus admitt, my first try at this style of boot. Loved the heel hieght and the dappling of the leather. But, I found the leather to be real stiff and not comfortable for me. The long and short of it is that it is really not a practical boot for me and can't see myself wearing it much so I sent it back. Just think the stle is not mine which has nothing to do with the boot.

Size is true to fit. Is too narrow for me. I usually buy medium width in all shoes, however this boot is narrow I would need a wide for comfort. They are a bit stiff & would need to be broken in. Not as distressed as I had wanted.

I tried to make these work, based upon the reviews, but the 9.5 felt big and I could not get my foot into the 9. I do not have a wide foot. They also felt uncomfortable though maybe they need to be worn in. I have the Ariat laced work boots and I live in those. These were disappointing.

I love this books but they run half a number smaller. I kept it for a few days and try to walk on them and my heel hurts. Sending them back.

These are really cute boots. They are very stable unlike other cowboy boots. They are pretty stiff though - maybe I just need to wear them in more, but as for now, my feet get achy after I wear them for an hour or so. The leather is also sensitive - I can just lightly touch the boot with my fingernail and it has a scratch. I do not really mind this, but thought it was worth mentioning. Really, I would consider returning them if I did not wear them just because they are not as comfortable as I was hoping for, but hopefully my feet mold to them more.

I was hoping to find a second pair of boots that were as comfortable as my Fry's. These did not fit the bill at all. They were uncomfortable and stiff.

I first ordered this boot in my usual size, 6B. The shaft was too narrow to get my foot into the boot. I then ordered size 6C (wide) and still the shaft was too narrow. I do not have a wide foot so this boot clearly runs very narrow at the lower part of the shaft where the stitching is. Sorry they didn't work as I really liked the boot -- great style and quality.
