Fell in love with the look of Fly London Yip but not the price. I found Skechers Parallel with the same look for about a third the price. Wore them the day after I received them for 10 hours with a thin sock. I work in retail so the majority of the 10 hours was on my feet. Completely comfortable. They did stretch a little but I will wear them with thicker socks in the winter. I ordered my usual size 8. Fun, sassy and comfortable!

I rarely post reviews but these shoes earned one. Fabulous. I am a senior citizen and have rheumatoid arthrits. most all shoes, especially those with height, are too painful for me to wear. These boots are perfect. They are almost more comfortable than no shoes. And the soles are sturdy and provide me with winter condition safety. Easy on and off. A bit chunkier than my usual taste but this is far outweighed by the comfort. Very grateful to have found them.

These don't look as cute in person as they did online. The toe box is very round; the overall appearance seem somewhat geriatric to me. Thumbs down for me.

I have a hard time finding non-sneaker type shoes due to decades of arthritis, but these are super comfortable. I'm also a tall woman (5'10") who lives in flats, the platform on these shoes doesn't bother me at all. These shoes are the perfect blend of modern with a little edge for me.

I love these shoes. I am a server, I bought these shoes for the sole purpose of working. I have worn Dansko XP for years (and I still love them), this shoe is also great on the job. The air cushion soles have more give than a clog. These shoes are not certified non slip but they have, almost, as much traction as any shoe that is. I had no break in period, they were comfortable the moment I put them on. I had many servers recommend Fly London, but after trying both out, I prefer the sketchers because they're half the price (Fly London makes a nearly identical shoe). The wedge sole is narrow so I have to use caution when maneuvering with speed or I will roll my ankle. I will buy these again! I wear a 9 and have neither narrow or wide feet, these fit ideally.

my feet are quite wide and i've had good luck with the way skechers boots fit in the past-- these are no exception. they're very comfortable, no breaking in necessary, and super cute. i love the rubber wedge. like another reviewer mentioned, the toe is round, but not too bad. i find they just look more casual than some of my other boots.
the only thing i didn't love is that the zipper pull is a suede tassel that doesn't match the material of the upper. i wasn't expecting that, so i replaced it with some black leather that i had on hand and now the overall look is a bit more my style.

Adorable, comfortable, affordable. The platform is perfect for making my short legs look longer, but without the discomfort that high heels usually present.

I had to get these a half size larger than normal...I wear socks with boots and prefer a bit of "toe wiggle-room". Gave the 4 stars for comfort because I would like to see a little more arch support - but this was not a deal breaker for me. This is a great little everyday boot.

This is such a comfortable boot. It's the first time in years I could wear something other than my Danskos with my plantar fasciitis. They even put a little bounce in my step, which makes me look and feel more youthful. And so cute. They look good with everything. Liked them so much I got a black and a gray suede pair. With a little waterproofing they've held up beautifully in the Seattle weather.

These were very comfortable. I wore these straight for practically two weeks. One day I put them on at 6am & didn't get to take them off until 3am the next day. Granted, I would have loved to have taken off my shoes at some point. I'm glad I had these on & didn't need to take them off. Down-side, these really only look good with pants. I'm wasn't to keen on how these look with skinny pants, but I got past that.

These are my only work shoes. I work in restaurants - on my feet 8-10 hours a day, 4 days a week. I have bought probably 8 pairs of these exact shoes… whenever one pair starts to wear down, I buy a new pair of the same. They are lightweight, as comfortable as any work shoe I’ve ever worn, and take no time to break in. I don’t wear these anywhere other than work, but I don’t wear any other shoe to work that this one. Please never discontinue; I would have to retire!

A little snug at first. I always wore a 7.5 I wore them around the house a couple hours and they are perfect. I love this style and want to order more. I am 5'1 and love and need the platform. I do not like the suede ones, but would like other leather uppers in navy, brown and burgundy.

I was looking at Fly London $200, when I came across these-under $100.

These are adorable and super comfy, but I'm looking for something a tad less casual. So I consulted with Zappos, have ordered another pair, and I'm sending these back. These would look so cool with jeans or leggings, but less so with dresses.

I love these boots - super comfortable, rubber sole, memory insole and a decent height. I was on my feet all day and they felt great. Highly recommended

These are so comfy...you can't beat Sketchers for that...and they have a really cute floral lining inside that just makes you smile. But they looked HUGE on me - just too much. I'm only 5'4" and have short legs, so maybe they are just overwhelming for a short gal. Something I thought was odd and didn't care for is that the zippers are on the outside of the bootie. They had to go back, but luckily Zappos has lots more to choose from.

I have serious problems with my feet. they are pancake flat and I have heel spurs and plantar fasciitis in both feet. My podiatrist recommends shoes with a wedge and these fit my Dr's orders. They fit like a glove. So comfortable, they did not need to be broken in. I love them. I'm so happy with my purchase.

I took these boots out of the box and thought they seemed a little "utilitarian" ... kind of wider toe box, but they are SO, SO comfortable and the heel is high enough for a little height but easy to walk around/hike around on the street. Also heels are rubber so no slipping in the ice. They have been the perfect winter boot for me and I leave them in the laundry to grab them and put them on when I am leaving. I highly recommend them!

Love, love, love how cushy theses soles are. These are cute booties at a great price. Alas, they are also a bit too tight for my wide feed. Sadly returning. Thanks Zappos for the great return policy.

These are very comfortable. Cushy memory foam insole. Good traction on sole. I typically wear 9 medium (slightly wide) and the 9 medium in this shoe fit great.

This shoe was just a bit more "clunky" looking on my foot. No issues with construction or comfort though.

These were a cheaper version of more expensive and a little cuter boots that I really liked. These were a good purchase however! Although I think they look kind of bulky (and my legs are not super skinny) they were perfect for a winter trip to Spain and Italy . I bought my usual size and they are a bit roomy but fit well with thicker socks. I have a bunion and I did quite a bit of walking and they were super comfy!
