Customer Reviews Stuart Weitzman The 5050 Boot

I couldn't get these on! So much for wide boots!

These boots get such rave reviews, I broke down and purchased, but I am almost certainly returning these. They look kind of cool from the front, but the big elastic stretch in the back simply looks like a goofy knee high stocking!? It looks really dumb with skirts but even more so pulling the stupid elastic up over jeans. I saw a short girl wearing these and her legs looked like Popeye's, and not in a good way. Sure the elastic can fit over your um "athletic" (read: big/fat/huge) calves. But the elastic is also very unforgiving, kind of like spandex, do you really want the whole world to see just how "athletic" your calves are? Another thing to consider with these boots is how ubiquitous they are now. I walked into the Stuart Weitzman store to try these on prior to purchasing them online. The sales person was really helpful and friendly but probably inadvertently talked me out of these boots by describing all the people she knew who had them and just "love, love, loved" them, including herself. Personally, I would prefer not to drop this much on a boot that every chick in town owns, from the saleslady to the mail-lady. I'd rather invest that much in some really hard-to-find boot that no one else is rocking. 50/50 - no, thank you.

The foot of the boot was fine, but man, the shaft was so narrow that I could not even pull the boots up on my leg. Possibly, this just means that I have fat calves, but I have other "stretch" boots, like a Munro stretch leather boot and a Cole Haan half leather half stretch fabric boot, that I can pull up with no problem. I ordered a narrow because of my narrow feet, but having narrow feet does not necessarily mean skinny calves.

Because the back of these is that stretchy material, there is a small plastic piece that holds the heel backing "up". This teeny tiny piece of plastic caused the most horrific blister... such a shame, had to return. The look of the boots are great, the only other thing I didn't like was the height. It comes up high enough to constantly mess with/get caught in the hem of your skirt. So unless you are wearing a super high mini, it will be something you are constantly fixing. Dissapointing!

These boots were supposed to be over the knee. They did not even come close to hitting my knee. Very disappointed. Perhaps they sent the wrong boots. They are supposed to be 21" and they are 17"....

I will need hip or knee surgery from tryion g to pull these off, NO zipper...BAD DESIGN

I have enjoyed this same boot for several years but could no longer get them on. I ordered a larger, wider size and still can't get them on. I think my very favorite boots are not working for my old feet and hands.

Half of boot stretchy fabric and not leather. Leather didn’t look like it would hold up for very long. Seemed cheaply made for such a high priced item. Box was broken upon arrival as well.

I order the Narrow and the wide and they both didn’t fit. I’m so sad.

Like most people here, I was very excited about these boots when I got them. First knee-high boots that worked well for my muscular calves. Now it's been a year since I bought them. The side covering of the heels is scratched and torn! White plastic inside of the heel is showing through a big hole in heel cover! Cobbler cannot do anything. They look terrible. Wore them less than 10 (!) times. Only used them to walk from parking lot to building, in dry weather, on paved surface. All my shoes and boots are much cheaper and look much better! I know it's not a fair comparison, but just to give you an idea, Uggs look like new after year of daily wear in similar conditions (dry pavement, car-to-home). These may have been great boots in the past, but the quality seems to have gone down a lot. This price for white plastic heel with superthin cover?
