These are cute boots. They fit well overall but they are little tight on the big toes and the seam in the middle front creates a small knot inside that is unpleasant. Both issues may fade with break in as it is good quality suede leather. The look is nice but a little odd looking in the shape of the back - solid wedge, curved heel to sloped tight ankle. I have seen this in a lot of boots this season so it is on trend, just odd. With the look I will wear them with skinny jeans over the shaft, ankle pants, boot/wide leg pants and maybe a long skirt. This looks wrong with a shorter skirt or pant that does not meet or go past the top edge of the boot. Easy to get on, pretty comfortable overall and a good buy for this style.

I really like the look of these wedges and wanted to love them, but ultimately decided that I needed to return them. My first complaint was the suede. I have had much softer suede at a comparable price. This suede felt a little rough to the touch and I did not feel that it was worth the price. My next complaint was the fit. While I love the look of the diagonal seam across the top of the wedge, on the left boot that seam hit the knuckle of my big toe in an uncomfortable way. I kept popping these on after work to wear them around my home (thinking they might loosen up a bit being suede), but even mostly sitting on the couch with them all night my feet were happy to get out of them. I ordered both a 6 and 6½ since I never know which size will fit best with a given brand or style. Sizing up to the 6½ did not solve the fit problem as they were too big and slid at the heel. I so wanted to love these, but ultimately, for this price, I could not justify keeping them. They did look really cute with my jeans, though. These boots probably work well for those with feet more on the narrow end of the spectrum. I do not wear wide width shoes, but my feet are definitely more wide than narrow. Now the hunt is on to find something similar...

Love this boot! The heel height is perfect - not too high, but not too short. Pretty comfortable too. Overall very happy with my purchase.

These are the cutest suede booties. I wore these on trip to Nashville, Tn and even on the plane. I normally wear a 8.5 or a size 9. After I read the other reviews about toe box being too narrow, I ordered a 9.5. I wore thicker socks, and they worked out great. I could have gotten away with a size 9, but I feel after walking the toe box would have felt small, so going a whole size up and wearing thicker socks works out great. I so many compliments on these dark grey Toms. You will love them.
I always keep extra "Foot Petals" which are shoe cushions that you put inside the shoe. They are a must for all women. For sure for High heels. Zappos sells them. Keep them handy I buy all shapes. My daughters are always using mine. They make a difference in heels.

Love these shoes - I can easily dress them up or down. Went up a size for comfort but I do not think it was a fault of the show.

These are a nice pair of boots to wear for a short period of time--I'm most definitely NOT a heel wearer any longer! But they were actually more comfortable, all things considered, than I thought they would be. I had no issues with the zipper or any problem with the cut or fit. I don't wear heels much, but these will definitely be used again.

Years ago I purchased these boots in Burgundy and they have really served me well -- so much so that I purchased them in grey and in black. Unfortunately, I've had to return the black ones more than once, as the shoes Zappo's had sent were damaged (scuffed suede)
Turns out that this style is discounted and I cannot find them anywhere else... so I reordered them from Zappo's and decided to dye them myself to repair the scuffs, yeah, that's how comfortable and versatile they are. If your size and color choice are available, BUY THESE BOOTIES!
PS - go half a size up if you have wide feet/your feet swell after wearing heels.

After buying the desert wedge and loving them, I bought these in the grey color. They are super comfy and run true to size.

I currently have a pair of size 8.5 in green, love them, so I ordered another pair in black, size 8.5. They are too short. I need to exchange for a size 9. Bummer.

Super cute boot!!! Quality made, but they do need to stretch & then they are comfy. I have the lace-up boots like these in the lower heel as well. I found the lower heel version is a bit more comfortable sense I'm in my feet all day. These boots are a little higher in the heel, versatile in style-- can wear with just about anything! I've got thin ankles and they don't gape, they fit nicely--my shoe size is 7M. They hit above the ankle bone and come up on the ankle a bit. Comfy footbed but a higher heel. Overall I LOVE these boots!

I LOVE THESE! I have been on the hunt for a quality pair of wedges for a long time and these are by far the best. They do take a day of wear to break in, but after that you're good to go. I am buying my second pair in another color today. My feet don't ache after a full day of wear, the arch support is great, and they are STYLISH. They go with quite possibly everything! Love them so much. You won't be disappointed!

These are SO COMFORTABLE. I tell women who compliment them that they feel like sneakers because they are so comfortable. After years of wearing heels for work - and going home to sore feet and cramped toes, I found these shoes and all that discomfort is gone! In the winter, I wear thick black sports socks inside, so my feet are comfortable and warm. They're also very cute with the wedge and the little zipper tassle. I've converted many of my female coworkers to wearing these shoes. Some women find them too high, so they opt for the lower tie version of these shoes, but I find the height to be just right. They also look cute dressed down with skinny jeans.

I always buy Toms a half size bigger, and these were no exception. But they're very comfortable for the height and look great with pants or tights! Highly recommend.

These boots are really cute and SO COMFORTABLE!! I'd bought the same pair with laces due to the comfort level but I hated the way the laces looked. But they were so comfortable, I just completely covered the boots up with loooong pants.
These boots solved the problem with the zipper instead of laces so I now have cute AND comfortable boots

Bought these shoes to wear to work as a school nurse and they're great! My mom also wears these to work as a teacher. Comfortable to wear all day and very versatile. Can wear these to work or running errands on the weekend. I've gotten lots of compliments on them. They feel a bit tight at the back of the heel but since they are suede they will stretch. Highly recommend!

So comfortable!! I have been looking for a pair of wedges and these are so comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis so I need good arch support and these Toms are great. The look good with jeans and leggings and the heel height is perfect.

My daughter loved this shoe but it seemed to run more true to size than other Tom's, ordering a half size smaller than she usually orders from Tom's was too small...

This is my first pair of Toms and I love them! I wore it for the first time yesterday for over 10 hours. It was stiff at first around the ankles but not uncomfortable. I went with my normal size of 7.5 in shoes and this fit just fine. If you do have wider feet/ankles, you may want to go up half a size though. I like them so much, I might even buy these in black!

Great boot - love the styling and very comfortable! I found that they run a little small. I had to go up 1/2 size from my usual Tom's size.

These are some really nice booties, they are fairly comfortable but don't expect to walk a dozen city blocks without feeling it. The sued covers the entire bootie including the heel which gives it a stylish, sleek, modern twist.
