Customer Reviews Sudini Sierra

I have big feet, size 12, so it's always a struggle to find good looking shoes in my size. These boots are both stylish and very comfortable. I recently brought them on a three week trip throughout Europe and not only were they comfortable, but they kept my feet nice and warm and held up great. The elastic lacing up the back is amazing because I have one calf that is larger than the other and each boot fits perfectly on each calf. I don't usually wear a wide size, but I ordered a wide based off of the other reviews and it worked out perfectly.

After reading all the reviews, I ordered a 6.5 wide because I thought I might get a wider shaft, although I always wear a medium width (my calves measure 15.75 and I wear a 6.5 or 7 shoe). I could zip up these boots, but maxed out the elastic bands in the back. They look kind of cool when they aren't stretched out all the way, but I thought they ended up making my calf look even bigger from the back, like a laced-up corset, which is not the look I was going for. Also the wide size actually felt narrower than my usual medium width, uncomfortably so. The foot fit well when I took out the insole, but then the lack of padding was uncomfortable. Seemed to be a lovely leather, though, and well-made. Just not a good choice for those with calves as big as mine.

First of all, I appreciate Zappos' insanely fast shipping. I wanted to see if this boot was the one for me, and I was able to within a day! I take a size 11W foot and currently have a 16" calf. This boot zipped up snugly and my legs did not look like sausages on top. However, I would not have been able to wear jeans or pants beneath it. Leggings, yes. I am returning these only because I had previously ordered another style of boot, same height, that I ultimately decided to keep instead. Those have a little more give in them, and a square toe that I find I prefer.

I was so sure these boots would be The One(s). In the pictures, they looked like exactly what I wanted: a comfortable, stylish flat black boot. I loved the cute and yet practical elastic at the back of the calf, which allows for wider calves. However, when I got them, they did fit over my calves, but only by stretching waaay over them with the elastic, which just made them look like my calves were trying to bust out of them. And, the toe box was a little bit too small for me. The search continues.
