Customer Reviews PIKOLINOS Brujas 801-8003

Waterproof, comfortable, soft, flexible, lightweight, and they look fantastic on (better in person) - I love these boots! I'd wanted a slightly higher heel but ordered these because they are waterproof, and they look and feel so great I'm perfectly happy. The downsides: The stitching is imperfect. Near the zipper, it is set back too far from the leather and the leather isn't cut fully evenly. It doesn't affect the look, but the zipper sometimes catches on on the leather, which is a terrible flaw and I think overtime will degrade the shoes too quickly. Also: I want to say they run true to size or even a teeny bit on the large side, but an odd thing happened. I ordered my size, they arrived and fit perfectly but were a bit scuffed - not worn outside, but not in mint condition. I called Zappos, they were amazing and sent me a new pair. The 2nd pair were new and stiff but very narrow - like a different size narrow. I decided to keep the first pair. So, even though someone might have worn them and "broken them in" I think the sizing is inconsistent. And judging by other Pikolinos I own, which are somewhat narrow on me (my feet are a bit wide in front), I think I got very lucky with the pair I kept. Again, I love them so much I kept them anyway. If they are one- or two- year disposable I'm good with that. But be aware of their inconsistencies of size and quality.

I absolutely love the feel, comfort, and style of these boots. I want one in every color except for the fact that, as others have commented, the heel is of such poor, plasticky construction that it boggles the mind. I fell hard walking to my class with an armload of books when I slipped on the tile floor and was lucky not to have broken a bone. I took the boots to my cobbler (yes, we still have one in a tiny, old fashioned store in my town) to see what could be done. She was astonished, pronouncing right away the heels to be "cheap plastic" that could "kill someone." She completely replaced the heels, which made the boots perfect. But to have to pay another 40 dollars (and I'm sure it would cost more elsewhere) to make an already expensive pair of boots safe to wear (the loud, clackety sound of the original heels was also unacceptable) means I will not be buying them in the grey, chocolate, and tan colors that I had wanted.

I wanted to love this boot. It looks great and is very well made, however there was way too much heel slippage for me to keep it.

I loved the look of these boots...really stylish...but the right foot boot fit really snug, like it was too narrow. The left one was fine. Back they go, but I really wanted them!

As many others have noted, these boots were comfortable right out of the box. I wore them to a party where I knew I'd be standing for several hours. They didn't disappoint--plus they are very cute with skinny jeans and perfect for the "dressy casual" party dress code. I will emphasize the point that the heel is made of a slick plastic rather than a rubber material and when I got home, one of my feet did almost slip out from under me, even though by then I'd been wearing them and walking around on a concrete alley and some other surfaces for several hours. I may take them to a shoe repair place and have a grippier heel put on. Odd since the sole of the foot itself seems to be rubber and grips better.

Arrived as expected. Is a little 'clicky' when walking. Not super supportive, but also didn't expect highest quality given the reasonable price. The brand name is on the back- not a huge fan of that. But I got what I was wanting!

This is a very cute boot however I almost sent it back. I have a narrow foot but can usually get by ordering a normal width shoe. This boot felt so tight that I discovered I could only wear it with my thinnest socks! I also tried polishing them with the small complimentary polish that came with them but it only made the leather look dull. I do love the look however, stylish with a small heel, so I'm keeping them.

I just received these boots - they are absolutely gorgeous! I am so sad that they are too small - the European sizes & my feet don't get along (wear a size 12), have the same issue with Danskos. If you are considering these - definitely order them! (Didn't give them a 5 star overall just since the zipper was not smooth (even without my big ol' foot in them). Had to choose a comfort rating even though I can't judge this b/c they are just too small).

I am so glad I purchased these boots. They are very comfortable. I love the size of heel. Yes, the heel bottom is very clicky, but mostly it is slippery. I'll probably have the cobbler swap out that piece. The shaft is a great height and diameter, I often have trouble with some being too wide. I can wear these under straight leg pants and they look great with skirts and dressed too. I think they are a bit narrow up front, but the leather is soft and is loosening up. I normally wear a 6.5 and I had to get the 37s. The leather is wonderful quality, but I'm wondering if it is too thin to last long-we'll see.

These are stylish boots. I have found that Pikolinos as much as I love the styles--are usually narrow in the toe box. I wear size 5.5/36, have a high arch, narrow heel, but need more width in the toe box. These fit perfectly. They have moderate support (I might try adding an insert) and they do make a clicking sound when walking (not really an issue for me).

These are fabulous. I have a wide foot and a high instep, and these were perfect. No need to break in because they felt extremely comfortable right from the start. Lots of toe room, and the heel is just high enough to make them feel dressy without too much pressure on the ball of my foot. The grey has a hint of taupe but still a beautiful color, seems to go with lots of things.

Pros: Very cute. The heel is lower than it looks in the picture so you get the nice look without the height. Boot height is great and looked good with both skirt and jeans. Cons: Considering the price, the leather is not nearly as soft as you would expect. No arch support and very little padding inside. I'm pretty solid 9.5 and the 40 was not big enough. So size up.

These are beautiful boots, but the left boot was too narrow and the heels were slick and seemed unwise for the Midwest winters, so I have to return them.

Runs small. I ordered 1/2 size up and had to use a stretcher to make them wearable. I agree about the plastic clicky heel - it sounds cheap. I will be adding a rubber cap or changing to rubber heels altogether to deal with it. But cool boots with a low heel, which can be hard to find.

This is a nice comfortable boot. I tend to wear very trendy boots and this style is a bit conservative for me. Great quality and a low heel make this a very functional boot for wearing day to day, just doesn't have that "where did you get those?" factor. I'm keeping them for my day to day wear.

I like these boots a lot fit true and are very comfortable and also bought the higher version one of my favorites. I have narrow feet and they work with a little thicker sock.

They are so awesome. I didn't give them a five, but it may be because I'm pretty spoiled by clogs. I'm narrow in the heel and was concerned because this is a bit loose that it may rub but this has not been the case for me. Most boots that are made for style aren't particularly comfortable to me, but this is a nice pair. I wouldn't walk miles in this by any stretch of the imagination, but to get out and mall-walk or strolling this is a nice pair of boots.

Another Pikolinos boot that I wanted to love. It just ran a bit too small for me. I had read all the reviews and I wanted to believe the fit would be terrific. It just wasn't the case for me and the boots I recieved. They are a gorgeous boot. The style is fantastic. The stacked angled heel is flattering on the foot and provides a stable base for walking. The biggest and really only problem I had was the boot was too tight and my foot was asleep, numb and tingling, withing minutes. I thought they might loosen up enough to be comfortable, but I didn't want to chance it so back it had to go.

I love the boots but beware they do run small. I normally wear a 9 and had to return the 39's for size 40. I have only worn them around the house but so far they are pretty comfortable.

What beautiful boots! But I find myself slipping on the heel, on our hardwood floors. The heel slips sideways. Maybe it is just how I walk. I am not sure, but I do not feel secure in them, so I am returning them. These are gorgeous boots, that are definitely high quality.

I typically wear a 38 but am a size 7 with wider feet, and a pretty high arch. This boot was nice but was too narrow in the footbed and too tight across the top of my foot. At the same time, my heel was slipping around in the boot when I walked. This style just does not work for my feet. These are nice boots but I had to send them back.

I absolutely agree with Bobbie B! This boot looks wonderful and feels good as soon as you put your foot in BUT THE MATERIAL COVERING THE HEEL IS A CHEAP PLASTIC! As soon as the boots arrived, I put them on, and just as I put my foot down to walk on my wooden floors, I slipped. Also, since the heel covering is a cheap plastic, they are really noisy. I have to send these back.

I did not find these to be comfortable. I agree with another review that mentioned the boot has very little cushioning. You can feel the hardness of the ground right through the footbed, especially in the ball of the foot. A definite no no if you have Mortons neuroma. Only slight arch support and I have moderate arches. It does not have a removable footbed either. Just not the boot for me.

I really thought these were nice looking and hoped they would be comfy for my problem feet based on the reviews. They were not. They ran a tad big, no removable insole for orthotics, and virtually no cushioning in the ball of the foot. I felt like I was walking on concrete on my carpeted floor. Very strange and disappointing. They are going back.

I wish I could keep these beautiful boots. They fit nicely and feel good, I love the look of them. The deal breaker is the heel. As other reviewers mentioned, it is slick and noisy. It feels hollow and loud. The plastic heel piece would not be so bad for my use, as I walk on concrete mostly--I wear boots outside, walking on streets or sidewalks--but these just didn't pass the stealth test. Alas. I'll try again with other Pikolinos styles because they seem to make a high-quality boot.
