Customer Reviews Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole Emma Stretch Boot

I love these boots. I’m 64 but am fashion conscious so wanted some taller boots this year but not over the knee since I obviously wouldn’t be wearing a mini skirt. These come to the bottom of my knee which has a longer look for more mature person. They are at least 2 inches taller than the boots I have.

These boots are extremely comfortable right out of the box, and fit perfectly (size 8.5 M). A couple of drawbacks style wise - the zipper pull is light brown leather, which stands out sharply against the black suede, and takes away from the overall look. Also, they are truly flat heeled, with almost no arch support. In general I prefer a small chunky heel. Despite all of that, they are truly comfortable, and look great overall, so I am keeping them.

These boots are the best, smartest purchase I have made in a while. Beautiful soft upper, truly knee high shaft (important for me because I am tall- boots tend to hit me several inches below the knee). Additionally, the shaft's fit is snug (for once) which creates a sophisticated, streamlined look. Finally, you cannot beat the price of these boots! I am used to paying twice as much, for much less satisfaction with the product. I am a size 8 and the 8 fits perfectly. Love them!

Beautiful suede boots! They are very comfortable for people with neuromas who need round toe and low heel, plus very sleek shaft make it classy. Love these!

Very comfortable boot. It's made out of cloth and I believe it would be great for travel, as you can fold it up and fit it in a small area.

Fabulous, fabulous fit, fabulous feel, fabulous color. Thank you Zappos. I'm 5'2 and 115lbs and 76 yo and very happy.

Everything was beautiful, they are very comfortable, nice, the right height. The only thing I didn't like is that they roll down and I want them to stay up.

The materials and construction did not seem in line with the pricetag. They didn't fit me well- too crampt in the toe box and there was too much of a gap between my calf and the shaft.

I buy one pair (maybe 2) new boots every fall but often can't find the perfect one. These are very good and very comfortable. I am covering the brown leather zipper pull with black sharpie as it distracts the eye, but all in all I am pleased.

These boots arrived during a triple digit heat wave. I won’t be wearing them for several months but they fit perfectly and they are another reason to look forward to cooler weather.

SIZE: I typically wear a 7, although 7.5 is not uncommon. The 7 was too small; 7.5 a little loose in the heel, however, with a thin shoe pad, it's great. STYLE: Love the stretchy boot upper. The 7 upper part of the boot fit perfect, the 7.5 upper is a little loose and I'll probably have to take it to the local shoe repair so they can make it a little more snug. I love the boots enough to do this. COLOR: Black is the only color I could find...anywhere. Kenneth Cole, please make them in some more neutral, basic colors brown, olive/taupe! COMFORT: Yep; as the name says, "Gentle Souls."

These boots were super comfortable and very cute. I feel like they might run a 1/2 size small. They are a little plain, with no stitching, but if you want a nice boot with a smooth finish then this is the right boot! Very very soft!

These look like knee-high socks with soles! They are very soft fabric without shape and I can't imagine how they would be if they ever got wet.

very comfortable. Because there is no heel they are more casual but would be great for work.

It fits like it should, I only wish it came in narrow and had a small heel. I just wore it in NYC in the rain and it was water repellent, no water spots.

These are the softest and most comfortable boots. I have had them for a year now, they are still in great shape. They look very good with dresses.

These are a gift so I cannot attest to size and fit but they are beautiful and I know my daughter will love them. The picture on the site does not do justice as all you can see is black. I went off the short video.

yay. was looking for stretchy boots with a low heel and didn’t want to spend a small fortune. loving these boots! i sized up 1/2 size to accommodate boot socks. they look great with jeans, skirts.

These boots are very comfortable right out of the box. The “suede” is a stretch material that looks good on and makes it easier to pull them up. I am 5’4” and they are about an inch too high, so they hit my knee in front but bend behind the knee. Not really a problem. I ordered a size 7 and a size 7 1/2, and went with a size 7 1/2 to facilitate the wearing of thicker socks, as the weather turns cold.

I really liked this boot, especially the suede like fabric. Very comfortable and fit true to size.

These are perfect for my needs. The calf area stretches to fit. Wish they came in brown too.

These boots are very comfortable and flattering. I am very happy with my purchase.

The stretchy legs were comfortable for my calves which measure 17". They fit nicely around both ankles and calves and look very slim.

I am almost always a 6 or 6.5 across brands, so it's weird that the 6.5 in these boots was so very small. I would say buy a full size bigger, though I can't actually vouch that that's true, because they were sold out in 7 and 7.5 so I had to look elsewhere. Too bad bc they seemed nice!

SO many compliments on my mineral ones … so ,of course I ordered black ! Comfortable and chic and reasonably priced, love them.
