Customer Reviews Stuart Weitzman The 5050 Boot

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.

I finally purchased these after lusting after them for about 2 years. I was really expecting some lovely arch support inside these boots as I have a different pair of SW boots that do. These have none. Very disappointing. I would have to add an insole and would except the heel is so wide on me in my usual narrow width that the flip flop action would make them too annoying to wear. They are going back. The real shame is that there are no other choices for an 11.5 or 12 narrow in his boots right now. I love my last pair even if I could not get them in the leopard print in my size (that was cruel not to offer it) but they are brown which leaves me on the forever hunt for black boots that will fit my very long legs up to the knee like my last pair; which are 5 or 6 years old now. I guess it is too much to ask for a boot with an 18-19 inch shaft height on a 12 narrow size. I suppose the last ones were meant to go over the knee but on me were just under for me and my first knee high boots I had ever had that actually come up to my knees. I wear a 37 inseam in jeans. This pair actually cover m knee cap.

I recently bought two pairs of the 50/50 boots -- one in Black Nappa leather and the other in Cola Nappa leather. I am extremely pleased with my purchase despite the price. I am an Ugg girl -- but felt the need to get these boots since they seem like a classic boot. I normally wear either a size 6 or 6.5 and called Zappos before my purchase to see what a staffer would recommend. The representative recommended that I go with my usual size and not to size down since the majority of those who purchased the boot before felt that they were true to size. I am glad that I did -- the size 6 feels great with some room to breathe. These boots are a fashion statement, but high end and I would not wear them in slushy, snowy weather. They are definitely designed for the Fall months and if you want to show them off, do so in dry conditions. I would recommend them to women and say, "treat yourself, you deserve them!" Great style, not so great price, but as we all know -- you can't have everything.

These are definitely a size too big! I ordered an 8 - my go to boot size - and I am returning them for a smaller size, I am not sure if a 7½ will fit but I think that I am going for a 7 as the foot part was just way too long. Otherwise, these are beautiful and flattering boots. I always wear heels and never find flat boots that are flattering. These are them!

The boot definitely runs large. My foot was swimming in a 7.5 which is the size I would typically wear. The boot looks nice on the outside, but I was surprised by what seems to be a very thin sole. I think the boot could be really comfortable, but the thin sole makes me hesitate to wear it.
