Customer Reviews Cole Haan Air Petra Tall Boot

What amazed me about these boots is that they fit like a glove. I normally wear an 8-9 and ended up with a 10 in these boots but the fit is amazing and they are very stylish. The zipper makes it really easy to wear them even with jeans where other boots are too narrow, and they're very comfortable so far. My only complaint is that they're a little long in the toe, but I doubt anybody would notice. Shipping and customer service was great as usual!

These boots are great!! They do run a little small though. I am a 7 1/2 and I had to return the first pair for an 8. Otherwise, the boots are amazing, the leather is a really nice shade of brown, and they just look really well done. I can't wait for the size 8 to get here before the spring starts so I can wear them!!

Definitely order them a size or half size up – I’m usually a 10.5 in Cole Haan, and the 11s fit me perfectly (although this is the first day I’m wearing them, so they may stretch). The cushioning and support is fabulous, the boots are really high-quality leather - very substantial. They’re sleek enough that even the 11 doesn’t look freakishly huge. The only thing I would change is I’d love it if they came an inch or two higher on my leg, but I knew that going into them. I can tell I’m going to be wearing these forever!

These boots are beautiful and very comfortable. I have wider than average feet and a high arch, so I got a 1/2 size larger than normal to compensate. I am very happy with these boots and would recommend them to all.

These boots are amazing. I was afraid when I put them on that they would be too small, but they stretched out just fine and are a perfect fit. I can walk in these shoes all day without having any pain. Comfortable and stylish all in one.

The boots are beautiful. They run small. I am normally a size 8, but needed a size 9 after trying them on at the store. Couldn’t get the 9, but the 9 and 1/2 is fine. Spilled beer on the boots and it wiped right off. Great quality.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these boots! I found them first at local shopping mall but they didn't have my size. I ran around different stores, 4 had them, none had my size. So I ended up buying them immediately here and I must admit that even though I have always been a sports shoes person I can't get enough of these Cole Hann’s. They're simple and classy yet stylish. The color is actually a bit lighter than on the pic, definitely check them out in real life and you'll know you want them! :)

I love these boots! I have skinny legs and can never find boots to fit my calves. These boots are narrower than most boots. Initially they were a little tight by the toes but I've worn them 3 times already and they are starting to loosen up. I recommend these boots for chicks with skinny legs and narrow feet.

These boots are really nice and the leather is beautiful. I ordered them in a size 7.5 first which is my normal size. They were too tight so sent them back and reordered in an 8 which is perfect. They are so comfortable. And I can’t believe how fast Zappos delivers - the next day after ordering. Returns are also easy.

These are really comfortable, true to size. I can wear them under jeans or with jeans tucked in as well as with skirts and dresses. They were a little shorter than I expected, but all in all they were exactly what I was looking for.

I love the look of these boots, they are still a little stiff, but well made and should break in nicely. They are high on the calf, which is what I was looking for, great for skirts and leggings.

Best Boots ever! I looked everywhere for these boots in the sand shell color, and I finally found them here in my size! I received the boots today and they are fabulous! So Cute! They fit a bit snug when I first tried them on, but they stretched out very quick just wearing them around the house. They are so cute with leggings and skinny jeans. This was an awesome purchase, and totally worth the money!

It's a shame. These boots are absolutely gorgeous, but unfortunately they are quite narrow, to the point where my foot hurts from just trying them on. I have many Cole Haan shoes which are all B width, but for some reason these just really pinch, at the ball of the foot. It's a shame, they are so beautiful! But they will have to go back. (Cole Haan, if you are watching, please produce this with a wider width. Thanks!) Also, FYI, the sole and heel are leather, which could make the boot a bit delicate in inclement weather. You will have to cover that lovely leather with a rubber sole if you want to protect the boot.

These boots are perfect! I have received so many compliments on them! I love that they are patent and can be shined up so easily in these crazy Chicago winters. Although they are not designed to be worn in the snow, I have been using them in the snow anyway and they have been fine! A great alternative to a heavy snow boot when you are running errands or picking up the kids. I find my feet get too hot in traditional snow boots when using them for errands. Great price, too!

I bought these Cole Haan boots for my wife as a Christmas present. I searched around and looked at "a lot" of boots before I decided these were the ones for my sweetheart. I really rely on Zappos reviews, too, and all the positive reviews about this boot were right on the money. So thank you to all who posted positively about this boot. First, the patent leather is amazing. Everyone knows that Cole Haan is a quality shoe maker, but the leather on this boot is just dazzling. The brown is really just a beautiful, rich color and my wife, though torn between this and the black, really loves this color. Second, my wife says the comfort of this boot is really amazing. Since it doesn't have a spiked heel, she can wear them in comfort at work, or out on the town, without any fatigue at all. I guess we can thank Nike for the cushioning insole! Nice. Third, I am happy to see that Zappos reduced the price of the patent leather boots to the same as the regular black and brown ones. Waiting to the last minute saved me a lot of money. Truth be told I would have spent more on them anyway, they're worth it, but it was nice to see the price come down just before I ordered them. Thanks Zappos. Lastly, my wife's shoe size runs between a 9.5 and a 10. I got her the 10 and they are just a little tight. But my wife tells me as with all leather boots these will stretch with time. So just a heads up on sizing. Overall I am 110% satisfied with my purchase of these boots through Zappos. Hopefully my review will help someone else with their decision.

Love these! I tucked in my jeans and wore them all day out in the rain; stayed dry and warm. The next day, wore them with tights and a short LBD to a party and won a prize for my cute outfit. For narrow sized gals, I hope Cole Haan makes stylish comfort shoes forever. No need for bandages or moleskins!

Love the boots! Exactly as described. At first the boots were snug, but after wearing for a few minutes they stretched and are extremely comfortable. Could walk in them all day.

These boots are just what I was looking for. They're amazing. They were a little tight where my toes meet my foot, but they stretched out just right.

Great boot! Comfortable, wide enough to wear over jeans but not to wide. I get a lot of compliments on them. And the patent leather will stay clean and nice looking.

These really do fit tight - I couldn’t decide whether to keep them & hope they stretched out or return them for larger size. Since the length was OK I kept them and wore them with thin socks the first few times and they did stretch out.

The boots look fabulous. The fit is true to size as is the width. Arch support is good. They look great with skinny jeans etc. I have bunions and after awhile my feet begin to hurt but I still love them. Not the fault of the boot. It’s rare that I find a shoe that doesn’t bother me.
