Customer Reviews David Tate Simplicity

I ordered the 11 and the toe box was too narrow for my foot. Too many years of yoga! I wanted the boots to work, but alas they did not!

Excellent boot. I love its clean lines. They feel tight in the toes but stretch out after a few days of wearing.

I received these and kept them in the box for a week or so because I wasn't sure. They seemed really comfortable, but I wasn't sure about the style. Well, I was invited to spend the day shopping in the NYC and thought they would be perfect to walk in all day. I decided to keep them as they would be comfortable but nicer than a sneaker. I'm so glad that I did, they were extremely comfortable, and the look grew on me.

These are great boots. The leather is as "soft as butter", the fit is perfect for my narrow foot, and the boots are very well made. I am extremely particular about fit, so if you have a narrow foot, these are the boots for you. And you can't beat the price!

These shoe boots are dreams on the feet and look very handsome. I'm pleased with the quality of leather and the fit.

Love these booties - my second pair from David Tate. Beautifully made, quality materials. Super comfortable. And in EE width. The foot bed provides good arch support or removes for a custom orthotic.

These are a great pair of versatile black boots - can dress up or down. They run narrow, but I decided to live with it because I like the way they look.

Beautiful, sleek boot and the leather is very soft. I ordered a WW and I still cannot get my foot down into the boot. I will have to send them back.

Cute enough to wear with tights and a casual pencil skirt, comfortable for all-day tourist walking but the toe box is much narrower than other ankle boots I've tried. I bought these to wear with skirts and pants as a walking shoe that would transition from day to night - tourist walking around cities during the day and then dinner at night - but the way my toes are compressed is uncomfortable and I can't imagine walking around a city all day in these so I'm returning them. They are much less stylish than other ankle boots but if they fit your foot well, e.g., if you have a very narrow foot, they would probably be a great option for a vacation or casual weekend boot. These are the boots I ordered all at once and were used as the comparison boots in this review: ECCO Saunter GTX Zip Bootie, Keen Bern Ankle, Born Mairead, David Tate Simplicity, SoftWalk Hanover.

I have bunions, and these shoes, even in wide, were too narrow at the toe box. The quality is fantastic and I love the simple style - hate to be sending them back.

These boots are comfortable but they have so much room in the ankle that the boot collaspes around the andle. They are not flattering at all!

I tried so hard to fit these shoes. My feet run a little wide (once gymnast) and I couldn't comfortably fit into the M or the W. I did notice that the W was wider in the ankle moreso than the foot which led to a strange gap that folded the leather when I walked. Wanted to love them, had to return them.

Can't decide. I normally wear 9W and bought this in 9WW. The toe box is narrow so the WW was too narrow for me but the ankle was too wide. Weird fit. Like the simple style and love the luggage leather color, but sadly I could not make the fit work.

I really wanted to like these boots. I ordered specifically for a trip planned to London in winter to replace the ballet flats I normally trapse around in. They are very nice looking with clean simple lines. I ordered 3 different sizes...none worked. my main complaint would be with the leather at the front of the boot which cut into my lower calf with any bending of the ankle such as stairs.
