Customer Reviews Sofft Tyla II

Style and comfort all in one boot - I am a fan of Sofft shoes, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased and these boots are right up there with my top favorites. They tend to run a little large in the calve opening (great for ladies with heavier calves), but if you wear a sock and tuck in your jeans they are perfect. I bought the wide width because I like wearing a padded sock for extra comfort. The picture of the caramel suede doesn't do it justice; it’s much prettier in person and will go with just about anything. I love these boots. I also LOVE Zappos! I ordered the boots on a Tuesday and got them the next day. Keep the great work up Zappos; I am a customer for life.

Comfortable boot! This is a great boot. It is the most comfortable one I own. I bought it in dark brown but would like to have it in black suede too. It is a classic style. If comfort is an issue, consider this boot.

Comfy but sexy - I love this boot. The foot portion fits true to size, with nice balance and cushioning. It doesn't feel like a high heel. I have really muscled calves, too big for most boots but not big enough for wide width. These just barely zipped but are stretching out enough to be comfortable. My calves are 16" for those wondering if these will fit.

Boots, glorious boot! Beautiful detailing, workmanship and leather - bought in both Red Oak and in Black leather (7.5W). Black's CALF is far wider than Red Oak's -- a bit odd, yes? But they are the sharpest and most well-made boots with a wearable but sexy look in AGES -- Sofft does it again (as does Zappos with superb delivery!)

Nice boots! Very soft, very comfortable and the perfect height for walking about anywhere. I wouldn't wear them when it's snowing because it doesn't have the type of bottom that really grips a wet ground but it's good enough for any other season. I bought a half size larger, the boots are shorter (foot lengthwise) then normal boots.

Wide Calves? This is the boot for you... I have wide muscular calves, and this boot zipped up beautifully that I almost cried with joy!!! Every year an endless search, I end up going without... but not this year! This boot is very comfortable for the heel height and is beautifully made.

Great Boots - This boot is beautiful. I got them in the caramel color and I have gotten so many compliments. They are very comfortable and I highly recommend them.

Great Look for 2007 that's easy on the feet - Since Boots are THE fashion footwear for this winter, I needed to update mine that had chunky heels. I tried Ecco's, but their stacked, angled heel made 'em look like cowboy boots. These look stylish and chic, feel comfy for all-day wear. Feels far more comfortable than I expected from a 3" heel.

Worth the price - I've never paid so much for shoes, but I know I will wear these for years. They are comfortable and classic, with just a little zip from the lacing on the back. I agree that if you have thin calves, they will be too loose for you. I imagine I have average size calves--I don't work out much but do walk a lot--and there is a slight gap at the top for me, but not enough to ruin the sculpted profile.

Love this boot!!! I love this boot. Not only is this boot beautiful, but it is comfortable, too. I usually have a hard time finding tall boots to go over my muscular calves, but these fit and look super cute!

Love this Boot - I live in South Florida, so I may get one or two months use out of these boots, starting in about December. I cannot wait for the chance to wear them, because they look great on. They also feel super comfortable. My husband says they are very sexy.

Sofft Tyla - great boot - I'm not a high heel person, but this boot was just right. Looks dressy, but is comfortable for a high heel boot. Sexy fit around my calves, and not tight in the toe or heel. The heel didn't wobble when I walked. Size was just right. I normally don't like zip up boots, but these went on very easily and came off very easily. No tugging or pulling.

Perfect boots after a long search - Thank you Zappos! Your return process made it possible for me to finally find, after several tries, an extremely comfortable and beautifully made boot. The Tyla by Sofft is heavenly. The others squished my toes (thanks to the pointed toes which are ridiculous since a foot does not come to a point and we really do not need footwear that will do as a weapon in a pinch). I'm wearing my boots at this minute and they feel like soft slippers!

Beautiful Boots - I was a little iffy on the lacing up the back because I am extremely picky, but it’s just the right touch for the boot. They were comfortable as soon as I put them on and they look great! Cannot wait for the brown to be available!

Great boot! I just received this fabulous boot. I decided that this year I would start early to find a good black boot and this was the first one I ordered. I was a bit hesitant, since I have not had much luck with Sofft shoes, but with Zappos great service you can't go wrong, so I decided to try it. It is a lot better looking than pictured. It is simple, sleek, and elegant, and the bit of lacing and bow in the back make it special without it being too much in your face. I will wear this with a lot of things. The heel height is perfect for me, but I am used to wearing heels. This one feels very comfortable. I usually order boots in size 10 to give me a bit more room, and found that this one fits perfectly in the size 10 ordered. Quite a short search this year, but well, I can look for a brown one now... Width should be fine for a lot of people. I don't have very wide calves and usually have no problems with boots, but even someone with a bit heavier calves than mine should do okay. For me, again, they are completely perfect! And Zappos is great as always.

Wish they worked! These boots were incredibly comfortable, but the shaft was way too big for my athletic calf. I would not be able to wear them with a skirt, so I have to send them back. But otherwise they're unbeatable!

Beautiful boot with a large calf - I am so sad I can't keep these! I ordered the 11s in black, and the foot part of the boot is a good fit. The leather is good quality, especially for this price range, and the boots are nicely lined. The lace up detailing on the back is sweet, and overall they seemed quite well-made. However, the shaft runs pretty big; I measured them at a little under 16" circumference, so they were too big for my legs. If you have larger calves or if you wanted to tuck jeans into them, these would be fantastic boots.

Totally comfortable! These boots are very comfortable. The bow and stitch detail in the back always attracts compliments. The calf is wide for me- even when I tuck in my jeans. I love them, but I probably wouldn't have bought them in a store due to the wide calf. They are a great color of brown and very comfortable- just wide calved.

Cute, but too big around the calf. This boot is pretty cute and comfy. I was looking for a boot to wear over skinny jeans. I've always had problems finding boots to wear over denim. My calves are super skinny, but the boots that I find either fit like a second skin so there's no room to squeeze into a pant or are so big around the calf that it leaves an unfashionable amount of room when I do wear them over jeans. This boot fit in the latter category. If only the calf circumference was 1-2" narrower. It's a pity I'll have to return them. Oh, and while the footbed is very comfortable, you really can't wear thick socks with this boot unless you order a 1/2 size up. Otherwise you'll have to go with nylons or trouser socks when wearing them for a true fit.

I love my new work shoes! These are lighter than my other Dr. Martens. 22ozs sounded heavier than it is. I'm a 5.5 and ordered UK4 (6). They fit perfectly, like a dream. They're so comfortable that I don't want to take them off; what more could I ask of a work shoe?! And of course, Zappos customer service was more than I could ever ask for!

This boot runs true to size and is of high quality and great comfort.

Great boots! Great buy! I have muscular calves and typically have problems with the boots zipping up. I am only a size 6-6 1/2 so whenever I order wide calf it is too big. I ordered a size 6 ½, which gives me a bit more room if I were to wear thicker socks. The boots are very comfy and well made. The 16 circumference is for a size 7. So with a size 6 1/2 the circumference is smaller but I still have plenty of room to zip up. The leather is really soft!!!

Great with alterations - I bought these on a clearance rack and found that they fit me better than the same size in other Sofft styles which seem to run a little small for me - perhaps it was cut bigger to accommodate a sock. Anyway, I found the calf a bit tight as well, so I took them to a good shoe repair shop and had an elastic gusset put in. Now they ARE perfect!

I love these boots and agree with the other reviews about how wonderful they are, but had to return them as the calf was not wide enough for my 16" calves. I found the same boots in wide calf at a department store and they fit great. I don't know if this will be allowed but thought I'd let you wide-calved woman know that they are available in wide-calf, but just not here.
