These are super casual. Great "jeans and sweater" boot. Easy slip on design makes these very accessible on the go. They fit great inside with room left over for some cushy insoles. My only problem is the heel. The cone shape isn't really for me. I'm just too wobbly in them. And, the solid wood heel makes that loud clopping noise when walking on hard floors. BUT, they're just so 'every day' in look and comfort (other than the heel) that I've decided to keep them. I plan to have the heel changed out for a quieter one that's also a bit lower, by a shoe repair shop. I think they'll work just fine after that.

I didn't keep these because they felt like I could roll my ankles wearing them. Something about the way that the heel scoops in makes it slightly unstable. Also, they just didn't look very nice on.

I am 5'9" and generally were a size 10. My first thought when I pulled them out of the nice Blowfish packaging was that they were cheaply made. The sole looked very thin, and the glue job on the heel was sloppy. The leather was unevenly colored in certain areas, not as if distressed for a look, but as if tanned/dyed poorly. The heel felt awkward, like it could break off easily. Maybe it was just psychological, as I could see the clear glue holding it to the leather. I'd rather pay more and have a more lasting sole.

While these boots are so cute, I had a problem with the heel. When I tried them on I found it a little hard to walk in them. The heel is a little different than what I'm used to, unfortunately, I returned them.

So my search continues for the perfect ankle boot. These are closer to what I've been looking for, but they don't have it all. The leather is very thin and poor quality. There is nothing distressed about it; it's shiny and something I would never buy if I saw it in person. The heel is right for walking which is what I wanted and the shoe is comfortable. I went out shopping for five hours in mine the day they came and had no problem. All in all, I got what I paid for, but I'm still not satisfied and I've been searching for the perfect bootie for months!

These boots are cute and I thought they would be perfect for the fall. However, they do make an annoying clacking sound when you walk, and the heel is placed closer to your toes than most boots, so my center of gravity and balance felt a little off.

These booties are very, very popular and I couldn't rest until I had a pair. Alas, they have been returned and a phrase comes to mind, 'Unsafe at Any Speed'. Something about the angle of the heel made it unsteady for me, plus there is very little grip to the shoe so down I went onto the ceramic tile of my floor, not just once but nearly twice. This never happened to me before, and I have no physical limitations that might have caused this unsteadiness. It's possible that others will find these boots perfectly safe, but do be careful and make sure you won't take a surprise spin out on the sidewalk.
