Customer Reviews Nine West Deleted

I bought these boots about a month ago and love them so much that I wear them every day. It took a few days to break them in, and I used an insole to provide some arch support because they are F-L-A-T. After eight hours on my feet, the boots are not so comfortable, but with normal wear they are a treat. With an insole. I didn't even mess around with breaking them in without an insole because I could see that I would need a little extra padding if these were to be shoes I wear to work. As for the style, I have huge calves and usually can't zip boots up unless they are extra wide. These little guys stop below my calves and flare out at the top -- they aren't meant to hug your leg -- thus making my calves look almost dainty. They look great with dresses. I love these boots, which is why I was so very sad when less than a month after I bought them, the sole of the right boot started to come off. Suddenly, the toe was no longer connected to the sole because it had just been glued on. Rather than return the boots to Zappos and miss out on wearing the boots for even a day, I took them to the shoe repair shop where they were made good as new -- or even better than new, because there seems to be no chance that the soles will ever unstick again. They never got to the flapping stage because I nipped the sole-peel in the bud, but the dude at the shoe repair shop also did some work on the left sole because it felt "loose." I would unreservedly give these boots five stars in all categories were it not for the almost immediate need for repair. I know, I know, I wear them every day, which may not be how they were intended to be worn. But less than thirty wearings later and they're losing their soles? That seems a little shoddy to me.

So disappointing. I was really excited about these until I opened the box. The leather is cheap, the inside lining is cheap, the craftsmanship is poor. What happened to Nine West? They used to make nice shoes. The leather looks nice and shiny on the photo but it's totally different in person. It doesn't even look like leather. They look like $15 Walmart shoes. The area around the heel is very stiff and uncomfortable. Back they go.

Had these boots for about 3 weeks now. I got an 8 and wish I had returned them for a smaller size. With thick socks, however, the fit is better but I would have preferred a more snug fit, especially in the toe. I walked through a little bit of rain and the color of the leather seemed to fade which was kind of upsetting but I polished them with shoe polish and they look better than when I bought them. They don't have a lot of arch support but they are not uncomfortable. I added an insole to make them more comfortable since I tend to be on my feet all day. Great boot for everyday, I hope they are durable (I wear through shoes so fast it's unbelievable).

I love these boots! I was going to return them though because of the lack of cushioning in the footbed. Then I went and bout a pair of padded insoles and now I can wear them comfortably! They look and feel awesome and at a great price! The people at Zappos were very nice when I thought I may need to return the boots. I would buy from Zappos again in a minute!

The Takotae boots were adorable, fit great (ran fairly narrow, which was perfect for me), and would be really cute with either a short skirt and leggings or a longer skirt. The dark grey color just happened to bit lighter than what I was hoping for so had to return them.

These are very comfortable boots, notwithstanding lack of arch support easily remedied with store bought supports. I can walk in these for 8 to 10 hours. I am a nurse, on my feet for at least half a shift, if not more. These are highly recommended.

Beautiful boot, rugged yet still feminine. I have sent many a boot back because I wear a larger size and they usually appear huge and very unbecoming. But these are perfect! I have worn them 2 times, they were comfortable from the start, no need to break them in!

The first day I wore these I wore them all day. Put them on at 7 in the morning. and took them off at 9 at night. They were unbelievably comfortable. I'm thinking of getting another pair, they're so wonderful. The black suede looks good with jeans or something more dressy. Great boots!

I love these boots! I ordered them a half-size up because I have wide feet and they fit perfectly. Very comfortable, love the black suede and the zipper makes for easy on and off! I like that the toe is half-round, half-squarish, gives it great style.

Love these! They are very cute and stylish, but also super comfortable with the low heel. Also, not overly narrow like a lot of booties and oxfords out there... perfect!

Been looking for a good/comfy pair of lace-up combat-styled boots for some time. My last ones were also Nine West (over 10 yrs. ago). These are much different and have convenient zipper. Typical of Nine West (for me), I find them to be a bit narrow, but the toe is nice and roomy, so I'm happy.

Nine West makes the most comfortable and wearable boots. I live in NYC and have broken one of my feet before so it's always shaky ground when I shoe shop. I want comfortable, supportive and wearable for lots of walking but I don't want to wear big sneakers. Nine West boots never let me down. They never rub and can really take some heavy wearing! I get a pair every fall and wear them near daily all winter.

Finally the perfect boot. For at least two years I have found it close to impossible to find a good, simple yet elegant, comfortable, real leather (as opposed to the man made materials that predominate these days) boot with enough heel to provide a little lift but not so much as to be uncomfortable. I live in New York and walk at least 2 miles a day. With foot and ankle problems, I'm generally bound to what's comfortable and not necessarily what looks good. These boots accomplish both. I can't speak to the durability of these boots as I have only had them 3 weeks but so far so good.

This is a stylish and quite comfortable boot! The zipper is super convenient too. No messing with laces every time you put them on. They're casual with jeans and super cute with leggings, get nothing but compliments on them.

This is an excellent boot. Looks and feels great. It is true to size. It goes with skirts, dresses and pants. Previously I have order at least 6 or 7 pairs of boots from various companies but returned all of them. This boot is perfect, not too heavy not cheaply made and not too expensive. Great quality and styling.

Loved this boot. I thought it was made well for the price and I could walk in it all day. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the toe box was so wide it felt too big. I gave them to my 14 year old who wears a half size larger and she was thrilled. They're not too young for a 40+ Mom and also appealed to my teenager. Great boot.

I wear these all the time. They look good under or over skinny pants. They are feminine combat boots, made on a narrow last, and they are very lightweight, not clunky. The inside zip is very convenient. Like other Nine West shoes I have, they have a nice roomy toe box. My only complaint would be the sole/ heel material which is fading on the edges.

Comfortable, but come with some reservations. The leather these boots are made with feels kind of cheap to me. My biggest disappointment is that the soles seem to be painted black and now that I've worn them for a few days the edges of the soles and the bottoms of the soles are turning to a natural rubber color. I've never seen painted black rubber on a pair of shoes. I'm considering returning these because of this and only this reason. Otherwise, the fit is great, the style is great, but be warned.

Cute boots, however, they seem very long. I usually wear a 6.5 in Nine West shoes but I had a lot of extra room in the front of the toebox. It made my feet look huge. I tried to size down but they were a bit tight everywhere except the front of the shoe. So sorry these did not work for my foot.

These boots are great looking & super comfortable, but the calf is really wide. Even with a thick sock and laced as tight as possible there is still a large gap between my leg and the boot. I usually wear an 11, ordered an 11 and they fit well everywhere else. Might be a good choice if you're looking to tuck your trousers into them.

I recently ordered these and was very satisfied at first. The fit was very comfortable and they were so warm. The leather is not quite as shiny as the picture makes them look. The leather looks more matte and a lot cheaper than the picture. I was okay with the leather because the fit was so good, but then I walked a few blocks in them and the top of the shoe just cracked! The leather broke and split and cracked. Totally not what I expected from "genuine leather" so I am returning them. Such as shame because they were so cute and I expected so much more from Nine West. They are going back.

These looked so great online, but when I received them, the quality was just too bad to keep them -- the leather seemed cheap and already cracking. Very disappointed!

These boots are really comfortable and I really like the style and for that I'll give them high marks. Unfortunately they are holding up very poorly. The soles and heel around the edges have lost most of their color (so all you see is cheap clearish plastic). The finish is rubbing off in areas like the ball of my foot and the toe to reveal a worn stained blue. I expect this of boots I've worn for years and have put through the ringer, however I work at home, go to the store and drop off kids at school and it looks like I've hiked 20 miles in rough terrain. Not good- especially for the price.

I am so disappointed! I got these in black. The rubber soles had a faint layer of black paint on them which was peeling badly by the second time I wore the boots. The materials and construction overall were very cheap. I was hoping that they would replace a 15 year old pair of awesome combat boots that were also 9 West. I am was very sad that they did not work out and that I had to return. Zappos was awesome about the return!
