Customer Reviews Coolway Alida

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these boots. Just funky enough without out-styling itself. They are comfortable right out of the box with soft leather and a malleable top edge if you want it to curl down or stand up. My buckles didn't stay buckled but a simple trick of fabric adhesive tacked under the soft leather did the trick. I can wear a heavier sock as these came in whole sizes so I went up to a 37 or 7 American. I'm a normal 6 1/2 but don't mind the extra room. I can't think of anything bad about these boots. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a little style without breaking the bank. :)

These boots are terrific....I'm not sure why this would ever be classified as a one star boot but I feel exactly the opposite. Bought in black - the color is flat black, no sheen, soft leather lining inside, not slouchy, great arch support. Definitely stylish, lots of compliments. I bought these for myself but my 13 year old daughter had to have them....she had lots of compliments too. I'm a true 8.5 but it was marked USA 8/Euro 39 - so if Coolway classifies 39 as USA 8, then I would say it runs big - because that Euro 39 fit perfectly...with room to spare for socks. (I have generally considered Euro 39 to be 8.5) These boots are awesome with tights, skinny jeans or skirts and definitely worth it. Uniquely styled....love it!

I've seen some reviews claiming that these boots run large, but I did not find that to be true. I normally wear an 8.5 in boots, occasionally a 9 depending on maker, and ordered the 39 here, but my toes are practically touching the end of the boot. If anything, that suggests to me that they lean true-to-slightly-small. Perhaps the broad rounded shape makes the toe box feel roomy for narrow-footed people? Other than the sizing, the boot is nice. It's a thick leather, in the way that Frye boots are thick- although the shaft is much more flexible than any Frye boot I own. I wish the heel was a little higher---even though it's shown as a 2" heel, it feels very flat, probably due to the sole thickness.

I love these boots! Super cute and stylish...I get a ton of compliments. I actually bought these in a size 39 from a different company at first. The 39 was listed as a size 8/8.5. However, if you are a true 8M, and you do not plan on doubling up on socks, you will find it slightly too big. I am a solid size 8 and in the 39, it was loose around the ankles, and my feet slipped back and forth a bit when walking. I came to zappos and found them in a size 38 (listed as 7/7.5) and it fits my solid size 8 foot perfectly. (7.5 is always too tight on my foot when I try them). They are comfortable and cute! The only complaint that I have is Zappos packaging. When they arrived, Zappos didn't have any support in the shaft of the boot. Therefore, it was crunched up from sliding back and forth in the box, and the wire support on the rim of the boot shaft (that helps keep its shape) was all bent up. I imagine that the style of the boot would kind of become "slouchy" a little bit anyway, just because of the way its made; however, the shipping/packaging made them come that way and I feel like I lost a little character because of it. Not a deal breaker, but a definite "shame on Zappos shippers". (the reason I know this isn't normal, is because the first pair that I bought from a different company had cardboard supports in the shaft of these boots, and they came to me fresh, crisp, and no crunched up leather).

Super stylish! Unfortunately, have only worn once and have had 2 weeks .... having trouble findining jeans to wear with them that diner bunch up at the top. Probably need to wear with a skinny jean. Boot is a distressed look, which is what I wanted. First pair came with right and left foot looking like completely different colors due to the way they were distressed. I called Zappos and they made it right! Really cute and looking forward to making these boots work.

There is plenty of room to add insoles or thick socks. They are interesting looking, but I also have the same issue where the leather end comes out of the buckles. The leather isn't stiff enough to stay put. They are easy off/on for travel

Overall I really like how these look, but there are some flaws. As I read from other reviews the buckles become unclipped when you wear them, this happened within a few minutes of my first wear, however I put some velcro under the bucket straps and they stay in place fine now. My other complaint is that the rim of the top of the boot has a wire in it to keep the shaft of the boot up but its not s really strong wire so it gets all squished down and has to be adjusted often. I wish the shaft of the boot had a thinker leather since it's pretty thin and looks a lot thicker in the photo. but overall I like this boot and hope it holds up

really cute boots, quite comfortable too, but on the very first day of wear, found that the buckle/straps do not stay fastened, nor does the strap stay under the strap loop. I repeatedly had to re-buckle and tuck the strap back under the metal hold. Looks like I am walking around with my boots unfastened.

These are my every day boots for the fall and winter. The leather is the nicest quality and they have the perfect amount of slouch. I have muscular calves and these pull on easily and aren't tight at all! Love these!! I normally wear a 39 (US 8) and the 38 (US 7) fits perfectly- as others stated, these run big.

Nice looking boot and very comfortable.

Love these boots! Bought them last fall, and they are still my favorite. High quality durable suede, easy to clean, super comfortable.

Comfy, stylish, I LOVE them! The brown is muted enough to go with all kinds of outfits, and the shoes are easy to slip on and off even with the zipper closed. I added a padded insole to make them a little more comfy, and it makes the toe box area a little snug, but after having them on for 5 minutes you don't notice anymore. These are SO comfortable, I wish they came in more colors.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots!!! Go up rather than down when sizing if your a half size

The leather is very nice quality: thick and substantial. It's not hard leather like Frye boots, but it's not thin and floppy. The opening to the boot has a thin piece of wire threaded through it---I guess you can manipulate it to fit the shape of your calf. It hits mid-calf for me and I'm 5'6". It's comfortable, but not over-the-top comfortable---I think I may have to add a comfort insole for better padding. Also, there's something about the design that drags my socks down so that they bunch under my foot. In spite of those 2 points, I think they're great. I do wish the heel was a little higher though, it's a very flat boot, and the lack of padding makes this boot a little tiring for me, since I'm normally in higher heels. Plenty of room in the toe box, and almost too much room in the heel, but an insole may help with that. Unlike other reviewers I didn't find them to be a 1/2 size large. I'm normally 8.5-9 in boots, and I initially tried the 39, but they were too small, so I had to go with the 40, and they are fine, but slightly roomy (in the heel.) I liked them enough to keep them, and will keep my eye out for new styles from this brand.

Love these boots! They are so comfortable and look great with skinny jeans, skirts or dresses. They run a little on the big side as I typically wear a 7 and the size 6 I ordered fit perfectly.

I was obsessed with the photo of the brown ones and was so happy that they were even better in person! Perfect mix of rugged / modern Moto style - look awesome with skinny jeans. Comfy even with my wide foot. I haven't had any issues with the buckles like some of the other reviewers - shaftvis comfortably stiff and sturdy. Thinking about getting these in black!

These boots are made of really nice leather and they're very comfortable. I tried a size 37 and it was too big so I had to return them. The buckles do not stay buckled.

This boot fit nearly perfectly, right out of the box. When I say nearly, I mean about a 98% fit. The width is *just* barely too narrow for my wide feet. I'm not concerned about it because the upper is very soft and pliable, yet not flimsy. I love the look of this boot, not flashy different but different enough. It's a trendy style which I will feel fine wearing once the trend passes.

I love these boots. They are real leather so be sure to protect them with leather spray. They seem to run a tad bit large. I'm a 7.5 normally and can sometimes wear an 8, but I did opt for the 7.5 and am perfectly comfortable in them. They are stylish for skinny jeans, leggings or a cute little dress. They add a badass vibe to your look. Overall, I'm super pleased with them.

Versatile boot that looks good with jeans or dressed up.

Look great but not very comfortable. Very little arch support.

Live the boots. They fit perfect. The only issue is that the side rippers open sometimes as you walk.

These are very cute boots! Very comfortable as well! The only thing is, and I read this from other reviewers before I purchased (so I knew what I was getting into), is the buckles come undone. Not sure what I am going to do to remedy that, right now I am just dealing with it and checking them constantly. Small price to pay for these super stylish boots!

These shoes are very cute, fit well and are comfortable right out of the box.I hesitated to send them back but I needed something that would be able to keep snow out. Utility is high on my list and I noticed that the foldover leather wrap that is the front of the boot is only one layer of leather and not two coming together as I had imagined. Please add a picture of the boot unbuckled and open. Granted, the idea to double the fabric might make the boot look a little bulkier on, with the thin quality of the leather used on these, I think it would really make a huge difference quality and durability-wise. I wear a size 9 and accidentally ordered EU size 41 (which are actually a 9.5). Oddly enough, I wasn't swimming in them and actually tried them on with 2 pairs of thick socks and still felt no discomfort/tightness. I'll keep checking back for more from Coolway!

Loved the look of these boots right out of the box but the comfort level just isn't there. Very stiff sole. I have a solid 8 foot and the fit was there but the back pinched my heel slightly. Just didn't find comfortable.
