Customer Reviews Lucky Brand Basel

I loved the look online but very cheap in person (esp. for the price). The leather feels fake and they fit very small. I don’t have narrow feet but never need to order wide. Unfortunately have to send them back :(

Cute boot, but way too narrow. I have never had to order wide shoes or boots. So disappointed.

Not true to width. Could not get my foot in.

Was very disappointed that this pair did not fit. I have several other Lucky Brand shoes in size 12 that fit beautifully. Why wouldn't this fit as well?

terribly uncomfortable..flet like my toes were in a vice grip..

Overall 1 star because the fake, stacked leather heels scuffed and peeled off within first two weeks of wearing these boots. SO disappointing. I tried to carefully glue the material back down but the material ended up peeling away further and looks terrible. So now I have a $129 pair of boots that look great everywhere else (and are pretty comfortable!) but the plastic (cork?) heel under the fake "stacked leather" wrapping shows and looks terrible. :(

I was so disappointed in these boots because of the quality. The style and fit were great, but within a couple of weeks they showed significant scuffs, scrapes and fading. Any little nick would tear the leather, leaving a noticeable white scrape. The stitching fell out. These boots are only a few months old and I'll be throwing them away. Such a bummer!

WARNING FULL LEATHER WEARS TERRIBLY- Perforated leather is great! I have the basel in the grey perforated suede- they fit really well and I get tons of compliments. They are awesome. I ordered in the black full leather and am so sad. They fit just as well but the leather got torn upon the insides and peeled up where my heel or the zipper scuffed the inside of the other shoe. Its like they were not real leather, just bonded leather or something. I have many other leather boots and have never had a pair wear out like this, the leather peeled up. For reference I have a wide forefoot and wear a 9.5 or 10. The 10 fit well were a bit long, but comfy enough and I can walk for miles in there. Get the perforated, they are great, but beware the others. PS Zappos is awesome and helped me get something else. love their customer service

Very uncomfortable and very narrow.

Four-In-One Ankle Boot Review I was looking for a black ankle boot for fall that would look good with both jeans and a dress with tights. I ordered four different pairs for comparison: the Lucky Brand Basel, the Teva Foxy Leather, the Born Trinculo, and the CARLOS by Carlos Santana Lynn. 1) I tried on the Lucky Basel first and was shocked at how cheaply made and uncomfortable it was. It looked and felt like something from PayLess. Don't get me wrong, PayLess has its place, but for a Lucky boot for $130 to feel like that? I don't think so. I boxed it right back up without even comparing it to the others. 2) Next I tried on the Teva Foxy Leather - nice boot! Beautifully made with thick (but not too stiff) leather. Like others reviewers mentioned, it was a little hard to get on, but only very slightly, at least for me. It was comfortable and gave my foot a nice "lifted" feeling. I was not totally convinced on the styling (loved the heel though), but still, a quality boot. 3) Next up was the Born Trinculo - also a beautiful boot, and very nicely made. 100% comfortable, easy to put on. I could tell it would be something I would reach for every day. My only concern was that it was the most casual of the group. If only the heel was a *little* higher, even a quarter inch...I tried it on with a skirt and tights though and it was fine. 4) And finally the CARLOS. This boot was a bit more lightweight than the previous two, but it did not feel cheap at all, just different. I liked the style a lot - clean and a bit sleeker than the others, slightly pointier toe. Very comfortable and definitely looked good with tights. No zipper which made me happy. Plus it was a full $50 less than the other boots. In the end it came down to the Born and the CARLOS. If I could have, I would've purchased them both. I finally opted for the Born because I thought it was more flattering to my particular my leg shape, which is short and curvy. Also, of the two, the Born looked great with socks on top of tights (with a dress), and since I live in a cold area that's a plus. I am very happy with my purchase of the Borns, but I still *highly* recommend the CARLOS - a really nice boot and definitely a great value.
