Customer Reviews Bandolino Bellow

Perfect! Since I typically purchase Frye and LaCanadienne boots, I was worried about quality, but they are exactly what I was looking for. They may not last terribly long, but I didn't need to splurge. I saw several complain about circumference. Keep in mind that it varies with shoe size. I need a 16-16.5" boot if I am going to wear them with jeans tucked in. Since I wear a size 10, and the boot they measured was a 9.5, I felt confident that the boot would work for me. I have found that most boots vary at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch for each whole size you move up or down. It would be helpful to list circumference for each size. The manufacturer should provide that information.

Ive wanted a pair of cream boots for a long time. The heel is the perfect height. I have a wide calf and they can get zippered without trouble. Love!

Not wide calf! Super adorable shoes - they would be great heels, but they are not wide calf. My athletic (not overweight) calves are just able to zip up in leggings. Too bad because they look nice and I assume would be comfortable for heels. Must go back as I need jeans to fit in there.

The shaft circumference is actually 15 in not 16 in as advertised.

I have not worn them, but they are just as they appeared online. The leather is soft, supple, and the boot is very well made. They arrived exactly on time. They were well contained and wrapped beautifully, so they arrived without any damage to the outer packaging or the boot box. I can't wait to wear them; I haven't because they arrived when it was raining. They fit perfectly. I hope you get more so others can enjoy them because I got the last pair that you currently had!

Love the light weight, color, very comfy to walk in so far. They are beautifully made

Beautiful

These Bandolino Bellows are simply gorgeous boots, elegant, comfortable, and very sexy! Though I consider myself to be a true size 8, I found the 8's to be uncomfortably small and snug in the foot, though the shaft was a comfortable fit. They fit like a size 7.5 or even a size 7. I returned them for a size 8.5, which fits well, and which leaves enough room for slightly thicker socks, should the weather be cold enough. My calves measure 14.25" at their widest, and these boots zip smoothly and easily, look fantastic, and leave enough room to comfortably be worn over jeans or leggings. The shaft really is the perfect width for me, and looks slim and beautiful on my legs. I purchased the black suede, which is very rich, luxe and beautiful. I loved them so much that I went ahead and snapped up another pair in the beautiful grey suede as well. Of course, before wearing them, I will have to treat them with suede rain and stain protectant to preserve their gorgeous good looks. I'm even considering buying them in cream kid, if I can figure out what I'd wear with them! These were a great buy, and Zappos customer service deserves endless props. I'm a customer for life!

This boots were absolutely drop dead gorgeous, I had to return them almost in tears, I really didn't want to part with them. They are so soft, fit the foot area just right but they are too tall for my me. they hit past my knee and wrinkle down taking away from such a beauty. I wish they were 3 inches shorter from the ankle to the knee. Oh I wish!

Beautiful boot. I agree with many of the reviews where they indicate it is not really a wide calf boot.They zip up for me, but they are snug. Hopefully with time the leather will stretch out They are comfy and classy. And they are beautiful!!!

I am a runner so I have big calves. Beautiful boots but i can’t wear them since I can’t zip them up over my calves.

Loved the look. Was tight on my calf and thought I was going to send back. I tried a second time and zip lower on calf then pulled up to full height. It stretched enough to be comfortable and I can now zip it normally. I wore these to two day business conference and they were so comfortable! Wish they came in more colors! Navy or maroon would be great! The gray did look great with a navy dress though!

NOT WIDE CALF. This boot is not wide as advertised. I took a chance with mixed reviews, and with a slightly wide calf than the standard boot, this did not fit. It would not even zip up half way with leggings on. The boots are very cute and I've tried other boots in this brand that have worked perfectly. If you have even a slightly wide calf, do not buy.

Boot shaft is way too high, goes up to the crease of my knee. Not comfortable. I will be returning.

The height of the heel was very comfortable, which is why I chose this boot, but the length of the size 8 was a good inch or more long and if I had gone down a size I don't think the shaft would have fit, as the 8 was snug. I usually wear a 7.5 in a dress shoe and 8 in boots or tennis shoes. I think the suede would show dirt pretty bad, they seemed more like a crushed velvet than suede to me.

These were very attractive boots with a super soft leather. The shaft of the boot seemed much too wide, however, compared to other boots I have tried on this year. Because the leather is so soft they just slumped down ruining the dressy line

Stunning workmanship and quality. Did not want to return but the circumference is too narrow for my thick calves.

I purchased these because the description was for wide calf and these are far from it! The boot is great and my foot fit perfectly in but they would not zip. The dimensions listed in the details is not accurate. I wear a 16 cm calf circumference and these felt like half the size. Very disappointed as I already struggle to find boots and these seemed like an amazing find. Do not purchase if you require a wide calf fit.

These are so comfortable, but the shaft is very tall. I am 5'2 and they touch my knees. I am sad they have to go back.

Very very cute. I am a true size 11 but could not get these even on, much less zip up. Sadly, they will have to go back. Wish they made a larger size.

Shaft WAY too wide. Had to return them.

Beautiful boot, but the calf is so wide I could fit two legs inside. I wanted to keep this boot, but even if I tuck jeans in, there's a gap of about 2 inches. The shoe itself, on my foot, felt great. It's a shame I must return.

At $168 I wasn't expecting exceptional quality, but I was disappointed by the look of these (cheap). They also ran small, and the shaft circumference seems about an inch or so off. (My calf measures 16" but I couldn't zip these.)
