Not a big fan of these booties. They were tight in the toe box and not very flattering - I felt like they looked a bit like clown shoes on my feet. Back they went.

Beautiful boot. Well made, but it runs small and narrow. Regretfully, I had to return them.

I am a size 10 with a narrow foot. This shoe is adorable so a 5 for style. The toe bed was comfortable but Unfortunately for me the heel slips quite a bit. Also the zippers are nearly impossible to unzip. So the shoe must go back.

I really wanted to love these booties. I read ALL reviews for every Dolce Vita bootie because I did not want to get into a situation where the booties ran small. Of all the Dolce Vita booties in my size the reviews on the Sutton showed they ran truest to size where the other brand's booties had less stellar reviews because the shoes ran small. Sadly, these too run small.
I do not often have an issue buying shoes online and am religious to my shoe size. My toe is touching the front just slightly and they are narrow. This causes my big toe to arch a bit which creates rubbing and discomfort at the "knuckle" from the top of the show. They are narrow everywhere, surprisingly, also in the heel. Particular discomfort on the outer side of foot despite the toe being quite rounded. Also no support and ZERO PADDING. I would add insoles, but they are just too tight. They cannot even be worn with ankle socks.
If you have any doubts and your foot is of narrow to standard width, I may purchase a half size up. That way you can also slip in a padded insole.
I purchased these as a cute alternative to sneakers or flip-flops when going out shopping in trendy West Hollywood. I consistently felt underdressed while running errands in town and thought these booties would be the answer. They look great with a pair of cut-off shorts and can be dressed up as well.
Unfortunately they are NOT for WALKING for MODERATE TO EXTENDED PERIODS. They are perfect, however, to sit all day or take a nap in. ;b
I've been using a shoe stretching spray to try and help the breaking-in process. It's helped a bit only in that it's softened the shoe but more than anything it's stained the suede from the inside out (if you are going to try the same, wear very thin socks with the bootie, since that's all that will fit, and spray the stretching product on your socks until nearly soaked through, then promptly slide your foot into the bootie carefully to avoid the suede.
Otherwise a great style and I love the Dark Taupe Suede as the neutral colored bootie elongates my already long legs and makes it a bit less jarring transitioning from a long bare leg (if wearing shorts or a sun dress) to a blocky bootie like this one.
I kept them because I was desperate, but I ordered 2 more pairs from another retailer with a wider selection in my size. Once those arrive I doubt these will see much action. Sadly a waste of money and I will not be rolling the dice on Dolce Vita again.

The shoe is cute, but not for me. I need a bit more of a heel. Will be returning.

Such cute booties but don't fit my wider feet. Going up 1/2 a size might solve the problem but they're sold out so unfortunately I have to return them. They are so cute and I love the double zipper and the dark gray distressed color.

I'm so sad that I'm not keeping these. I love the style, the tassel, the brown sole and heel. Unfortunately, the right foot in size 10 was just too tight in the toe box. My left foot fit perfectly. I tried an 11 and they were way too big. Wish they made 10.5 :(

I truly wanted to love these... The style and color are just perfect. And the suede is so soft.
Sadly, they don't fit well on me. I have narrow heels, but I still felt that I would be rubbed raw all the way from the back of my ankle to my heel. And my toes were a little cramped in the front. I believe suede would stretch, but I didn't want to take a chance, especially with the issue in the heel.
But if you have narrow feet - these would be perfect!

Super cute bootie...but way too small. I usually wear an 8 1/2, but couldn't fit into a size 9. Back they go...

Exactly what I was looking for but too narrow for my foot and painful at my big toe joint where it creased. The zippers also were tricky sticky. Very sad.

These booties are super cute but very heavy . The heel is thick and heavy and sound clunky when you walk. I sent them back unfortunately.

I had to unzip both zippers to get my foot in. Soft suede material, but not an easy to get in to design. Hard footbed and not much support.

The leather is super soft and the boots seemed very comfortable. However, there the soles are so smooth with almost no traction that they felt unsafe to wear!

These boots are super cute if they fit you right. Unfortunately I'm between a 8.5 and a 9 due to the molded footbed. The ball of my foot did not hit right on my normal size. I went up a 1/2 size and they were almost perfect. I sadly have to return as the color I want is not in stock for the 1/2 size larger I'm looking for. If you are looking at this shoe try both sizes out for fit.

Not as cute in person as it looked online. The suede looked like it would get scuffed up easily, and it wasn't as comfortable as I needed it to be.

Loved the look of these shoes, but was disappointed with the material. For a bootie, the material was very flimsy - and it didn't hold its shape. They almost looked baggy. Am sadly returning.

These boots were cute but they were too large around the ankle area which made them rub on my ankle bones while walking. Unfortunately, they are going back.

I really was hoping that I was going to love these boots, but I do not like them at all. They're suede and even though the boots looked new and had no wear marks on the sole, the front toe of both shoes seemed like they had been worn. The front was scuffed on both shoes...maybe from rubbing from inside the box. I also didn't like the tassles on either side of the shoes. Both sides zip up and were easy to put on and off, but the tassles banging on the sides would bother me. I had to return them and the search continues.

I don't always buy a wide, but when I do, I expect it to be actually wide. I got an 8W....SO NARROW. Cute styling for sure, but not true to size.

These booties are definitely cute, but are very uncomfortable. They feel small and narrow (and I have pretty small feet). They were also really tight at the top. I ended up going with the Blondo Liam Bootie instead. The style is very similar and way more comfy.

I signed up to be notified when this color and style was back in stock, so I was really excited when I received the email. However, when I received these shoes in the mail, I was really disappointed. They are WAY too narrow and feel almost a size and a half smaller than marked. I love the style - they're just poorly made/designed.
