These boots were incredibly comfortable from the moment I put them on. The arch support is superior. Great casual look. I have ordered a black pair as well and I am not one that buys the same thing in a variety of colors.

These shoes are beautiful. However, the rum-cognac color, while it appears to be a dark grey in the online picture (which is what I was looking for) it is actually a red brown. I’m keeping them though because I like them anyway.

These arrived smaller than my usual size 7. However, I bought the same style in a different color in the same order, and the other color was normal size. After a while I was able to stretch them out with thick socks here and there. Not very comfortable. My feet hurt wearing these after a full day of work. I work on my feet all day on concrete and I have a higher arch than these are made to support. However, there is no room to add a support. Flat footed people, here’s your shoe.
The hard material sole makes noise when I walk. I hate that. And after a couple years, the pull loop to assist on putting them on, on the other color shoe came off. It’s weird because that’s the show that actually fit. The material on the top of the shoe has held up great though!

Beautiful shoe and would be very cozy but the toe box was too narrow for me

Nice boots. As with so many shoes in size 11 they were way too wide. Wish they came in narrow.

I have had a pair of leather Velma boots for 2 or 3 years. They have worn extremely well and are reasonably comfortable. There is no padding but the shoe fits well so it is comfortable all day.
I ordered both the 6.5 and 7 Velma in gray suede. The boot is very nice looking. However, for some reason the 6.5 was just too tight and the 7 slipped in the heel. I would have tried to made the 7 fit if the insole has been removable, but it is not. I know from experience that if you put foam cushioning on the top of a boot insole, you have a very difficult time keeping it from wrinkling up.
Note to shoe manufacturers--make insoles removable so that customers can "custom fit" your shoes. You might have more sales. I had the same problem with some very nice Soffit boots as their insole was not removable.
I'd also recommend:

I purchased the gray suede in this style and love them. I am impressed with the look and quality of these reasonably priced bootie. They are the perfect update to my cold weather wardrobe!

I usually wear a 10M but ordered this in a 10W, and I'm glad that I did. the toe box in a medium would have felt too restrictive with a sock on. I like the color and the suppleness of the suede, i think this will be a favorite this winder. I really like the sole, this feels like the kind of shoes I used to buy good construction, good style and decent price. I like the natural materials a lot.

I’ve been looking for black leather bootie for a while now. They were far more expensive than I wanted to spend BUT I love the boots so far! I’ve only worn them once but they were comfortable right out of the box. Hoping the leather will stretch the more I wear them as they are a bit tight across the top of my foot, but that’s normal for me. If they hold up, will likely look at buying another pair in brown leather.

These are very pretty boots in brown. I liked everything about them except they rubbed on my ankle bones. I have to walk a decent amount at work so I know they would make little blisters. I am returning them but other than the ankle rub they seemed to be very comfortable when I walked around my house in them upon delivery.

Attractive and comfortable, but not sure if they would be comfortable for standing all day long. Hard to justify the price as I was comparing with a similar style from Sperry that cost much less.

I bought these in the red color and they were gorgeous. Unfortunately, they are narrow across the upper foot and didn't have quite enough support. Was sad to send them back. If you don't have any foot problems they will probably be fine, though.

I've owned these boots for over a year and they are my go-to boot. Out of the box, they felt a tad snug, but within 20 mins of walking, they stretched and molded to my feet. They are so comfortable and I can wear them for hours! The only issues I had were the small tab on the back pull off about a month or so in. I think I pulled too hard. I got it repaired and it's been fins every since. The sole is started to gap ever so slightly, but I'm not surprised. I wear these boots (and other pair from Work Ease - Ryder) ALL the time from fall until spring. I love these boots so much, I will take them so the sole can be repaired. Seriously you won't regret buying these boots.

I love these boot. They pair with everything and I love the color. Without a zipper to get in and out of the boot, be prepared to have your heel slip a bit, this is why I said a half size too large. I’m usually a 9. I ordered a 9, and exchanged it for the 8.5. I wore them all over Europe this Fall.

This is a really cute shoe. My only issue is that the heal is slippery on hard surfaces. If it had a rubber heal with more traction (and quieter), I would keep them.

This fit like a dream. The leather was soft right out of the box, and the slight tightness on my pinky toes eased up within an hour of wearing around the house. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough cushion to wear these for 8 hours of standing while working or for any extensive walking. I'd love to keep them, but I can't justify that price tag for 4 hours of wear a day.

Beautiful color and leather - but they fit a little too narrow. I have to return them.

Loved the color but the boot has a pointed toe and cramped my little toes. Sorry to have to return.

I love love love these boots! Depending on the brand, I wear anywhere from a size 5 to 6 shoe. I was a little worried that the smallest size these come in is a 6, but they fit perfectly! They are by are one of the most comfortable pair of boots that I have. I ordered the black and I think I’ll order another pair in brown.

Nice leather and good design but runs small. Definitely will be ordering a size up.

Was disappointed initially in the quality. When I went to put them on for the first time the pull tab in the back broke. They were still easy to put on without it but it would've been nice to not have that break before I even had them on my feet. I ended up just cutting the pull tab off both and they're fine. Will take some wearing in, but all in all they are good looking and comfy. Will be very versatile boots.

They take some time to get to where they're comfortable, but they are cute right away! I like the wood soles and the fabric is really soft. They're very cute for everyday use booties.
