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.

I have high arches and a moderately wide fore-foot so I was not sure these would work for me. I normally wear a size 9 but ordered these in 9.5 based on other reviews. When I first put them on, they felt narrow in the front and loose on the heel. But I've worn them about 5 times and I think the front will stretch adequately and I've gotten used to the looseness around the heel. I find them easy to get on. I won't wear them for long walks but I enjoy wearing them and have gotten compliments several times.

These are super cute and both the leather and the heel are high quality. I returned them because the top of the boot just rubbed a bit too much. I think I would have kept them if the boot came up just another inch to overcome that problem for me. I returned them and kept a different pair of Kork-Ease. I also have a slightly wider foot and these pinched a bit because the toe box is somewhat tapered. They do have nice arch support, which is part of why I kept the other ones that I purchased. If you're looking for arch support, this is a great brand and definitely worth trying.

I loved, loved these boots and desperately wanted to keep them. The style is gorgeous, the sole is incredibly comfortable, but they're just too narrow for me. I often wear a wide shoe but can fit in many brands that lean toward a wider fit. These, however, are for narrow-footed people. Too bad for me.

These boots are beautiful. Soft leather and surprisingly easy to get on given the narrow opening. However they were very narrow on my foot (size 8M) and the toe box was a crusher. I was comparing them to the Naot Helm bootie which is so instantly comfortable that they didn't stand a chance. They are going back.

These are really great looking: lovely leather and a refined shape. They had a bit of arch support and I suspect they would be comfortable to wear after a break-in. But I felt like they ran a tad narrow and on the smallish-side so - back they go unfortunately! ;-/

I bought this neutral-colored bootie to pair with jeans, cotton dresses, and leggings. So far, I've found them to be a durable pair of shoes. I do find the foot bed a bit narrower than advertised. Putting these shoes on can be a challenge as the shaft is missing zippers.

I have one other pair of Kork-ease shoes (platform sandals I bought a few summers ago) -- and while I love those, I was a little hesitant to try their boots. I was pleasantly surprised! They're really stylish and cute -- I'm complimented on them all the time, which is so fun. They don't offer much by way of arch support or even a cushioned insole, but in general I'd still describe them as comfortable and "walkable".

Very Nice boot, but length seemed about a half size longer than stated. Had to return.

Great looking shoe. Comfortable, too. Only concern is that after a week the soles are showing noticeable signs of wear. Hoping they will last more than a season.

Love the style. Little stiff on the first wear. After that, felt good. No issues.

I really wanted to keep these stylish boots, but the 11 was too small. I'm usually a 10 or 11, so if the 11 was too small for me I think the brand runs small.

Nice boots, but too narrow even on my very narrow feet! And just small overall. Haven't tried a larger size -- anticipate they would be comfortable if the sizing was right.

Totally bummed. I've worn Kork-Ease for years without problems, but this fit minimum a full size smaller and narrower. And I have narrow feet. I wear an 11 and have no option to order larger to fit.

Super cute, narrow. Comfortable but compared to the comfort brands (or as the reviews will lead you to believe.)

Very plain, as shown, and kind of narrow. I had a hard time pulling them on and felt very squeezed across the widest part of my foot (below my toes). If your feet and ankles are both on the narrow side, these might work well for you.

It was a real struggle to find a simple ankle boot with a flat heel and leather lining- this one fits the bill quite nicely. It's a little stiff but I'm hoping that it will soften with some wearing. The gores along the sides make it pretty easy to get on and off.

I like that these are simple and "clean" looking. My pair (color cruz/tan) was more camel/tan than the medium brown I saw in the photo. Comfortable and pretty true to size, but I would recommend sizing up if between sizes. Liked them but ultimately did not love them compared to some other ones I've been looking into, plus the irregularities in the leather of one of them looked too brushed/streaked/scraped for me, far more than the other boot. So, returned.

I am so sorry to have to return these,but the toe box is too narrow. My little toes are squished. Otherwise, they are very cushiony and I'm sure they would be comfy.

This was my first pair of Kork Ease shoes/boots/sandals. They are very pretty, just too simple for me. I'd prefer some stitching or something on the long toe area. That said, they fit true to size. I'm a 9.5 narrow to medium and the 41 fit perfectly. Could wear light or medium socks. Getting the boot on was a challenge with no zipper but I could. (I have a high instep and high arch.) The boots were comfortable, ran a bit narrow -- tho for me, nearly perfect. If you're a true medium or wider, you might find them too snug across the ball of the foot. Pretty good padding and very good arch support built in. I prefer a leather lining and this was synthetic and might be hot without socks (which I like to do).
