Customer Reviews Pikolinos Brujas 801-8003

Loved the style, but the ankles were too wide for me and made it uncomfortable to walk around. I have other Pikolinos in the same size, so think this is unique to the Bruja. Alas, back to Zappos it goes.

I looked at all the reviews, when I ordered these boots...I have several pairs of Pikolinos sandals I will wear to the end of time...was looking for comfortable boots, with some buckle/swash. They just didn't look that good, for the price, in my humble opinion. I would probably pay whatever for the ideal boot, so that is relative. Maybe I'll end up buying a pair of Fryes or? and spend more. I just didn't get the raves..of course, think I spent full price, not current sale price. And they didn't have any in black...so, they went back, and I wore my Rockport lug soled rainboots, raining or not.

I have these and loved them initially, but after worn approximately. 10 times noted intense heel pain. The heel is very loud when walking which annoys me. I purchased gel heel inserts-that does not help with the pain. I am going to take this pair to my shoe repair person to see if the loud heels can be remedied. Also the wooden/stacked heel is not real wood -rubbed off to a light yellow plastic after driving my car.I have never spent this much on a pair of boots- which I thought would last several years (since I have 3 other pairs of leather boots that I rotate with). Except for the uncushioned heel and loud clicking sound with every step (and bottom of shoe looks practically brand new). This is a nice boot. Pikolinos needs to redesign the support on this model. LOVED the shoe cleaning kit that is included. Am off to pikolinos.com to purchase additional silicone-based cleaner!

Loved the style of this boot, and it was very comfortable. The leather was slightly grayed, a more rugged look than I wanted, so I picked a different black boot to keep. The stitching was coming out in one place, so I was concerned about the quality. It was so comfortable, though, that if I had decided on this leather, I would have returned and tried a different pair for better quality.

I just received and tried on one boot.First it runs narrow and second it felt like my toe was jammed right up to the toe. European sizing does not work for me.When I saw the size 38 was 7 1/2-8 I thought I was in luck. Also whatever the heel was made of, it made a clicking sound when walking. The style was so classic and cute but the fit did not work for me. I guess I'll just keep looking. Thank goodness Zappos has such any easy return!

Well, this just didn't rate. I was disappointed with the quality and overall look of this boot. Also, I should have opted for a higher heel. My feet are narrow and this was just swimming on me. Also, the person who noted the clicky heel was correct. They are going back--don't know what I'll do next. I really like Born shoes and boots, so perhaps I'll find a nice one in brown!

I love the look of these shoes and they would be very comfortable and a keeper except for the narrow toe box. I have narrow to medium feet, size 8.5, ordered the 39, and the shoes are uncomfortably narrow and a bit short.

These boots fit what I was looking for, comfortable enough to walk 1+ miles to campus, chic, good heel height, fit me perfectly (size 10 medium). But the first time I wore them I kept slipping on the heel. I thought something had spilled on my floor. Then I slipped and fell getting out of the car. The heels and soles are plastic! C'mon Pikolinos, this price for a pair of boots with cheap, chintzy heels?! I am very disappointed. Looking for another pair of boots so I can return these surprisingly cheaply made, expensive boots.

This boot had so much promise and just failed in every way. The leather feels cheap and the heel is plastic so I sound like a horse when I'm walking. Limited arch support and my foot feels super stiff inside the boot. It also has a slippery sole which isn't helpful. Returned these boots as they were not made for walking or wearing.

Comfortable and stylish, but dangerous. I agree with other reviewers who talked about how slippery the bottoms are. I hated to send them back, but it seemed silly to pay this much for boots and then have to put new heels on the bottom. The plastic heel is just too slick.

Why did I think it would be different for me? I must agree sadly with the many, many reviewers who commented that the plastic heel cap is loud, slippery, and cheap-looking. I might have been tempted to have the heel cap replaced with a rubber one, but the *entire* heel just looks like plastic. The heel is quite out of keeping with the rest of the bootie, which uses soft leather and is otherwise nicely designed.

These did not look at all like I expected them to. The toe box is much more square than it appears in the pictures, and the stitching on the shaft makes it look like cheap, fake leather. Not enough room to tuck in anything but my skinniest jeans, and I've got pretty slim ankles.

The shoes are such poor quality. The heel is plastic and I sound so very loud when I walk. The sole is slippery and I almost fell twice wearing these. The leather isn't good quality at all and feels stiff and like plastic. Not a shoe I would recommend. I have sent them back and will be continuing my search for a great boot because this is not it.

These were my favorite boots until March 27, 2015. Sadly, everything people have said about the heel is true. I was walking on a paved driveway when the right heel hit just so and skidded like an ice skate. I flew, heard a snap and felt a sensation in my left ankle. My ankle was broken. Surgery on April 1 requiring one plate and six screws. It is June and I have finally started physical therapy. Needless to say, my husband put these boots into the trash can. I am sad as they were super cute.

These boots are really cute and fairly comfortable, BUT...they are not well-made. After 5 months of wear, the very thin piece of leather that covers the foot bed has come unglued and slipped to the side, creating a giant wrinkle. I have tried unsuccessfully to re-glue it, but it continues to slip. And there is already a hole in the same thin piece of leather, right under my big toe. The very hard plastic on the heel is ridiculously slippery and causes your heel to unexpectedly go sliding out from under you. I've almost wiped out countless times. Really? What WERE they thinking putting this material on the heel? And in spite of how hard the plastic is, it's already wearing down at an angle...pathetic really when compared to my Clarks which have a nice hard rubber heel pad and after 3 years of constant wear (including lots of dancing) are still in perfect shape! One reviewer mentioned she was glad the boots were not made in China BUT...I have two pairs of these boots, one was made in Spain, the other in China. The 2nd pair I bought were made in China and are supposedly the same style and size but strangely have a much more pointed toe. I assumed they just needed breaking in. No...even after painfully wearing them AND getting them professionally stretched, they are still uncomfortable and I'm stuck with them. Pikolinos are expensive and have a good reputation...now I wonder why. Poor design, no quality control. Overall...very, very disappointed! Don't fall for these! Just another pretty face.

These boots were so comfortable out of the box and I thought they would be a winner. Great quality, great Zappos service. But I rolled my ankle three times in the first day that I wore them. The heel angle is tapered way too narrow for the boots, they topple over and roll to the side. I am sitting here tonight returning with a black and blue ankle. If the heel were wider and more in proportion to the boot these would be an amazing pair of boots.

Those boots are made in China, very bad leather, dull and stiff. Not like my 2 other pairs from Pikolinos. No comfort at all. Very disappointed, will send it back.
