Customer Reviews Stuart Weitzman The 5050 Boot

Saw these in the Nordstrom Holiday Book, and was drooling over them! It is the most I have paid for boots, but oh man, do these rock! Black Nappa is gorgeous and buttery-super comfy too. Size down 1/2 size. Treat yourselves ladies; sure glad I did. :)

Saw these on a woman I worked with and just had to have them! From the minute I took them out of the box, I fell in love with the butter soft leather and exquisite style and they fit my thin legs perfectly. There is no break in time needed, and they are probably the most comfortable boot I own and worth every penny! I get tons of compliments every time I wear them and the perfect boot for leggings and short dresses or skirts. They are a little hard to take off but all in all I love these boots- just wished they weren't so damn expensive!

I am so in love with these boots! I ordered them last year but returned them because I felt guilty about the price but vowed to repurchase them this year if I still wanted them. I'm so glad I splurged. I have not seen a sexier, cuter, cooler, stylish boot out there. I got the black suede and made sure to take it to a cobbler before wearing for stain and weatherproofing. I'm normally a size 8 and the 8 in these fit perfectly. It's super comfortable and just a perfect fall boot. Now I want to purchase in black nappa!

These are the most perfect boots ever made! They make my legs look so long and lean! I have rather large calves and often struggle to find boots that are large enough for me. These boots, however, are so stretchy that they fit over my calves easily and still provide a snug but comfortable fit. I bought them in black nappa and now want them in tan nubuck, too! Note: They do seem to be about a half size too large, as noted by other reviewers. I normally wear a size 8.5 in this and other brands. I ordered a size 8 and they fit me perfectly.

I have a high arch and have difficulty finding boots that are comfortable. Well these boots fit perfectly. My calves are thin but they still hug. The quality is impeccable, my pair from last season still look good! I will be ordering another pair this fall.

I love this boot. This is my 3rd pair...had no idea until this season that there were so many colors!

Love the boots. More than I typically spend for a pair of boots but after researching these online, I had to try them out. They don't make my 9.5 size feet look huge like some boots do. Buttery soft leather. Comfortable to walk in. I have average size calves and relatively long legs (33.5 inch inseam) and they fit like a dream. I wore them over skinny corduroy jeans and did not have a problem getting the boots on or off though they required a bit of a tug either way. I am super-happy with these babies!

Love these boots. They do not slip and get baggy. They fit great with skinny jeans. I have average calves. They were comfortable right out of the box. Bought blue suede for something different. Very happy!

Everyone should spend the money for these boots! Zappos was the only place I could find the Slate. Every store was sold out of them. Even Stuart Weitzman store was sold out. Most important, this is my 3rd pair of the 5050. Have them in black & navy! 1st had the navy. I was in Dallas, walked the Dallas stadium, arboretum in these. My feet were never tired. The next day I had to go to Neiman Marcus & buy them in black. Yes, they are costly but worth every cent. Love! Have I said enough?

These are the best boots I have ever had. I had read some reviews and bought them a half size smaller then I usually buy and thy were perfect. The brown suede goes with everything and is a nice switch from always wearing black boots.

I opted for my normal size in the leather and Wow! I have thick calves and these boots not only fit but are incredibly slimming. I was definitely skeptical of reviews claiming this was the perfect boot but I am in complete agreement. These boots are perfect!

5050 is the best walking boots! Soft, flexible, comfy! I am 5'2", really twiggy leg. I have been searching searching and more searching for the good fitting calf boots. and here SW bought me 5050! It fits my calf beautifully. I bought the very same boots for my mum, and her relatively larger calf fit perfectly too! I worked with Olive Palermo's office, pretty much everyone owns a pair!!

This is a beautiful boot. I have a VERY skinny calf and it fit to my leg perfectly. Unfortunately it's a little taller than what I wanted, and I thought the actual shoe part of it looked a little "heavy". Otherwise loved it.

The boots tend to run long so I ordered a half size down from my usual size and they worked. I normally wear narrow, but I am able to wear a medium in these SW boots with an orthotic and boot socks. I have thin legs and SW boots are the only ones I can wear that don't have gaps around my calves and look proportionate. The orthotics helps with the fact that the boots don't have much in the way of padding or comfort built into them.

The boot fits as expected. It is taller than most OTK boots and tight. Accordingly, I do not recommend these for styling with skinny jeans.

Comfortable and snug. Not quite a true wide. If you are in between medium and wide, these are perfect. They go up the leg not far behind the lowlands. Nice looking with skirts and pants. Like other comments I have seen posted over the web, it was sooo hard to choose between these and the lowlands. After trying them on with different outfits and comparing and thinking it over a few hours and getting my sons opinion I ultimately I went with the lowlands. The back of the 50/50s is more casual. Many people can’t decide and keep both or get these in nubuck and keep the suede lowlands. I would have done the same but they are sold out of the nubucks in 8 wide. Too bad! Maybe next year. Great boots.

This is my second pair of 5050 boots (these in “Hickory,” my first in dark blue). The Hickory color is a nice dark brown, darker and less orangey than it looks on my monitor but YMMV. I actually like the color of the suede better than I expected because of that. However, the elastic back is not exactly the same color as the suede. The difference is small, but noticeable. Not quite as elegant as the dark blue pair which have more closely matched suede and elastic. I ordered this pair in a 7.5W, up a full size from my usual 6.5W, to fit winter socks. The length feels about right for a 7.5. But like all Stuart Weitzman shoes, the “wide” sizes are too narrow in the forefoot—more like a normal width. Also like all SW shoes, these have flat footbeds with zero arch support, and not enough volume to add an insert. For the life of me I will never understand why shoes at this price point cannot be made with proper arch support. Or better yet with removable cushioned footbeds that could be taken out to make room for those of us who care about the long-term health of our feet to choose more supportive or even custom footbeds. I have a very similar style of La Canadienne boots in black that I prefer because they are slightly less tall, are water resistant, aren’t quite as snug/painted-on looking, and are a bit more suited to my foot shape. But only the 5050s offer colors other than black in this style.

Gorgeous leather. Wish I could keep them however the wide size is still too narrow for me in the toe box. Also the way the soles are designed is a bit off-kilter for me. Forces an uncomfortable twist in my ankles when I walk.

This is undoubtedly a beautiful boot that is well-made and timeless. My only complaint are that my feet are freezing wearing them during the winter, even with thicker socks!

Super cute and comfortable once on but SO hard to get on all the way without mashing the back of the heel. I had to fold them way down to pull on and then roll up.
