Customer Reviews Swedish Hasbeens Zip It Emy

I love these. Classic, comfortable and stylish. I have to admit that you do have to break them in a little because of the thicker leather but it is well worth it. This is my fourth pair of Hasbeens and the first bootie I've ever owned. They're worth the investment and will last for years if you take care of them. I got the tan pair so make sure to spray them with a waterproofing spray to preserve them even more.

I love these booties! I normally wear a 39 in Danskos and Sanitas, but needed a 40 in these. The wooden sole takes some getting used to. I put in a sheepskin insole and they are super cozy. The front part that hits the lower shin is stiff and taking a bit to break in. Still, these are so delightful!

Gorgeous booties, but way too narrow for me. The leather is quite stiff, but I'm sure would age beautifully with wear like my other Hasbeens.

These are great shoes! They are super sturdy. I can tell that I will have these for years to come! I like wearing mine with ankle socks, as without them it can be a bit stiff. They go great with both jeans and dresses!

Swedish Hasbeens are the best - have wanted a pair of navy boots for years - these are perfect!! A great hip look with leggings or office pants. Hasbeens are stiff at first and are best suited to narrow feet - size up if needed. I got my usual 37 in these.

I love these boots. They are super comfortable and look awesome. They are the kind of shoes that I love so much that I do not want to wear them too often because I want them to last forever. But they look like they may anyways, even my non-shoe savvy boyfriend noticed that they looked like high-quality shoes. If I could afford it I would buy every color.

I am not sure if there is a leather batch issue or a monitor issue, but the "green" I received is the exact shade of gray-green I see on screen. I decided to diverge from my usual black-brown and get this interesting color. I have tried SH sandals, which did not fit my wide foot at all, but these are fantastic, with enough room in the toe box for someone who often wears wide shoes. The support from the wooden sole feels great, but I have not worn them for long walks yet. Ideally, the opening would be more narrow, but I can live with these, as they look and feel great. I rarely pay this much for shoes, but the quality of these is worth it. I just wish I could afford all colors! One zipper is a little sticky, but I am going to give it a go, because I know I can always contact Zappos later if it does not work itself out.

Absolutely gorgeous boot but awkward sizing. I am an 8.5 and the 9 felt like an 8. I am going to try the 10 to see if I have any luck!

Fit a bit small.

These run small. I normally wear an 8/12-9, but I had to get size 10. I find that is the case with many European shoes. The soles are comfortable and at the end of the day, my feet felt great. One unexpected discomfort is that the inside of the zipper pinches a bit, so you have to where long socks or tights. Also, the leather is pretty stiff. The front of the boot digs into the skin/front of the ankle a bit when walking and especially when walking down stairs. I have to walk at an angle when going down stairs to avoid the discomfort. I am hoping they will break in quickly.

Too clunky for my taste. Going back.

I had seen these on other people and thought I would love them. Due to the price, though, I hoped I would not! And...I didn't. The leather was very stiff and it felt like it would be a painful break-in period. Plus it didn't go with as many clothes as I would have hoped.

I love the Zip it Emy - I lived in my black pair last year. I saw the Khaki Nubuck Green on sale and ordered it. Although the boots are beautiful and I'm sure would be very comfortable - the green was much greener than the video or picture on the site show. I was expecting a faded army green but they were grass green. Still a beautiful boot but the color is not what is shown.

I ordered woman's US 7, which Zappos translated into an EU 37. This translation doesn't match any other chart I've seen elsewhere, and, as expected, the boots were way too tight/small. I had to go back and order an EU 38, and that's the right size.

Runs in full sizes so 7 was too small and 8 was too big

Cute boots, but very stiff and uncomfortable around the ankles. Quality material. Would likely become more flexible with use, but will probably give me blisters in the process.

I have two other pair of Hasbeens in size 41 and I love them - but for some reason this pair in my usual size was definitely too small - toe jammed up in the front. Oh well, back it goes.

these are super cute, but really tight- the length is good, but the sides and top are really tight. My foot is normal width. I like them enough to take them in to have them stretched

Thought I would love these boots but after just wearing them twice my ankle is killing me. Not sure what is? Not tight around my ankle just from the very stiff leather hitting into my ankle. So weird! I am so disappointed because I love the way they look.

Cute shoe, but very narrow across the bridge of the foot and I do not have what is considered a wide foot. Too bad, as the wood footbed seemed very comfortable and navy clog style boots/dress shoes are hard to find! I wear a 36 in Danskos, but the 37 in these were too tight for comfort!

I love the look and wear of the Swedish Hasbeens Zip It Emy in cognac nubuck. Unfortunately, after only a few wears, I noticed that the staples are loose on both shoes. I'm not sure if they arrived that way or it happened after wearing them. On one side of one shoe, the nubuck is almost completely separated from the wood sole. I would be willing to try another pair, but my size (39) in this style and color is sold out at Zappos and Swedish Hasbeens. I contacted SHB directly about this and they just responded with "what a shame" and told me to return the shoes back to the original retailer. They did offer me 15% off my next purchase directly from their website, but I must admit that I am skeptical to do so considering their lame response to the faulty clogs.

This bootie is adorable! HOWEVER, I think that Swedish Hasbeens either fit you or they don't. After trying both 37 and 38- I'm a narrowish 7. I'm sad to admit that inbetween sizes. Although I've heard these shoes run narrow, I've found that the heel is so wide that my foot slides forward. In the 37, my toes jam up against the tip of the boot. In the 38 - even with think socks and an extra insole - my foot swims inside the boot. I've found this to be the case with other SH shoes. I love the styles, but I don't think they are sized very well, so I'm finally giving up. Another side note, this pair of shoes had a rather yucky fishy odor, which I have never noticed with the other pairs I've ordered!

The search for the clog boot continues. I almost loved these, but they were too expensive for an "almost love" shoe. Also the green color is just a little...weird.

I seriously tried to love these boots they were so cute. I even took them to a shoemaker to see if they could be stretched to fit, but sadly they cannot. I do not have a wide food, but the width, upper part and length were all too small and they were seriously beyond tight. For $300 I refused to keep a boot I wouldn't be able to wear all the time, as I knew they wouldn't end of comfortable. I wish Dansko made something in pink and I would buy it immediately. For $300 you can find something more comfortable, unless you have a super narrow foot, then these are probably great for you.
