In case you are someone like me with forefoot issues (in my case Morton's neuroma) that require shoes with roomy forefoot/toeboxes, I am sorry to inform you these boots are probably not for you. Even going up half a size was not helpful. My feet are not especially wide but they do need a shoe that is respectful of their natural shape and spread, and sadly these are not those shoes. That being said, they are beautiful boots, and a great height to pair with skinny jeans, and seem to be very good quality. If you have non-problem feet, they don't seem to be egregiously narrow. But since this brand talks a lot about comfort, I was hoping that their idea of comfort would extend to a roomy forefoot.

I loved these boots, but after wearing them only 5-6 times, the sides of the heel began to peel off. What looks like a stacked leather heel is actually probably plastic, covered with fabric meant to look like stacked leather.

Got these in the brown. Going to order in black. Look great with black jeggings for work and skinny jeans for casual. I am petite, and don’t have particularly thick calf muscles or legs, and these fit just right around my calves but I can see people with thicker calves could struggle with the diameter of the opening. I don’t like my pants to blouse at the top and these don’t do that very much (maybe a little with skinny jeans).
Falls perfectly in my mid calf which, anyone with short legs, knows is a struggle!
Also, I have bunions and these don’t bother them at all.

I love these boots. I live in NYC, and I walk a great deal in all types of weather. I received these boots a couple of weeks ago, and I've worn them almost every day since. There was no break in period, they look great with jeans, and they are super comfortable. I'm 5'8" tall, and I'm over 50, and I usually have achy feet at the end of the day. I don't with these. This boot supplies enough padding on the foot bed and traction on the soles to make for a very comfortable easy experience.

These boots look expensive, the grey suede is a real true grey - theres no brown or beige in it. The leather trim IS brown, but somehow it works. These boots fit very well......when I first put them on they were slightly snug around my ankle, but after wearing them all day they loosened up just a bit and are now perfect. They are extremely comfortable, and what's really nice is the outer sole, it's a rugged type sole and you will not be slipping on slick or smooth surfaces. I bought my usual size and the length and width were perfect - I do not have narrow feet, but they are not wide either......I was on the fence with these but am so glad I bought them. They are very well made and they will last for years. Get them, you won't be sorry! I wish they made them in a nice taupe suede too!

I am disappointed in the quality of this boot. First of all, the leather has worn differently on both boots. The right boot has maintained a smooth appearance while the left boot is much more wrinkled. They also scuff very easily. But, the worst part is the sole of the boot is scuffing the toe of the boot. The sole seems very sharp and has really marked up the inside toe of both boots.

Mehhhhh .... It seems I received the same pair that previous costumer bought and returned since each boot has different grain of leather : (. I ordered the second pair and although both boots now have the same grain, they have different folds and fit differently on my feet (the right one is narrower that the left one) AND both feel like 1/2 size smaller that the first pair ! Now I am contemplating to return second pair also. I LOVE the style though and the fact that they are waterproof, but again - for this price one expects more, MUCH more.

I hate shoes. I never wear shoes in the house - not ever. But these boots are now my daily house slippers. My feet don’t hurt at the end of the day anymore. I look forward to putting them on at 9 am and I don’t want to take them off at 10pm.

These boots are as fab as they look in the pics. Absolutely amazing style, and Sofft shoes/boots are awesome if you need support. I work retail, 5+ hours per shift on cement and tile. I put these boots on as soon as they arrived, and wore them all day. They felt great, and (to repeat myself) the style on these boots is just awesome. I love, love, love wearing them. If you like the pics, you will NOT be disappointed.

I really like these boots! Nice taupe color, and love the contrasting leather straps. I usually wear size 8.5. I ordered both 8.5 and 9. I have high arches, so going up 1/2 size helps with getting my foot in the boot. 8.5 was a no go....I could get into the 9, but it was a little tight in the front of the boot. I'm considering trying the 9.5...

Great basic biker boot. Roomy enough for chunky socks or inserts but not so much that the boot is loose while walking. Not super comfy foot bed but not uncomfortable either. Love the height; it covers the hem of my shorter jeans very nicely. Can't comment on the waterproof aspect because I will not be keeping them (fell in love with another boot).

These are very nice boots. I usually wear a size 9 but I had to return them for a size 9.5. Now they fit perfect. They are quite comfortable as the first time I wore them i wore them all day without a problem. I own 2 other pairs of this brand and they are the same way also. So for all day comfort these are great.

These are the most comfortable boots. I can wear them all day walking and they feel great. I get lots of compliments on my cute boots. I look forward to taking them to Europe with me.

These might run just 1/4 size big. Super comfortable, love the zip entry. Easy on and off and all day comfort walking.

I love these so much I bought them in black as well. The leather looks amazing and the fit is generous. I have a high arch and it's hard to get into a lot of boots, but these fit snuggly, with enough room for my orthotics. They are good for casual wear - especially great with dresses and skirts. They are very comfortable and feel of good quality.

Like these boots a lot. This is my second pair from Sofft. My first ones like these lasted 3years so when it was time, I just had to get them again. My calves are a little big and these zipped up fine. They might fit tight with thicker socks but they do eventually stretch out. Looks great with leggings.

These boots are amazing. I wore them all day straight out of the box with no trouble. I have foot neuropathy so that is HUGE!

I tried these boots in 3 sizes, 7.5, 7 and 6.5, they never fit just right, and for the price i'm paying I wanted them to be perfect. The toe of the boot felt too loose and there wasn't enough arch support. Since they don't have removable insoles anything I put in them made them tighter and less comfortable. They are cute though!

I love this boot! Feels true to size, and very comfortable. I am a teacher on my feet most of the day, and find them supportive, comfortable and stylish! My only concern is that the brown leather marks up rather easily. I'm still considering purchasing them in black, despite this.

Really like the lines and style, but wasn't a fan of the fit. They were stiff and the footbed wasn't very supportive.

True to the other reviews, the toe box was too small and squeezed my toes so I had to return them which is a shame because otherwise I would have loved to keep them as they are a good-looking boot. I am a true size 7, not narrow nor wide and don't usually have this problem.

I liked the look of this boot but the sole felt very stiff; it was not comfortable to walk in for even a few steps.

These are beautiful boots. I love how the the already look slightly worn. Unfortunately these were too tight across my foot. I have wider feet but don't typically order a wide shoe.

Too large...and the color is disappointing. It looks nothing like the photo nor customer’s photos. Unfortunately they don’t have the next size down, thus I don’t get to see if the color changes.

I love the look of these boots and usually love Sofft products. The packaging says “waterproof leather” but they do not look or feel like leather. They do not look like $190 boots. Also, where the crossed straps intersect with the zipper is very uncomfortable on the ankle.
