Customer Reviews ROAN by Bed Stu Jill

I like these a lot, they are versatile and low heel trendy boot. I think they run true to size in the sense of how shoes should fit--if you like your shoes tight (life is too short, friends) you might say that they run a little on the larger size (1/4 size?). I like a thick sock with my boots, and that means even though I am an 8 (7.5 in sandals), I often get an 8.5 in boots to allow for them. An 8 was perfect in these, with a good amount of room in toe, and not super narrow like some boots this style. They seem well made in line with the price point (not like Frye boots or anything, but decent for a fashion boot). They are super cute and stylish, the perfect fall bootie IMHO. They have a bit of cowboy undertones with a basic black bootie execution. One thing I like is that they aren't too short in height, so the ankle is mostly covered. The opening isn't so wide that your pant leg just falls right in, either. My only complaint is that the texture of the sole is not very soft or supportive, so I may have to add an insole for long standing days. So, the fact that they maybe run a 1/4 size large will all come out in the wash with an insole. It would probably be a good idea to treat the suede portion with something like Scotchgard, but I hate chemicals so we shall see. Haven't worn out of the house yet so we will see how they hold up! All in all, I say go for it.

I really wanted to like these as the fit was really good and they were quite comfy. I am a true 7 and 7.5 in boots or athletic shoes and the 7.5 fit great. I didn’t love the design of the shoe tho! I loved the shape and lines of the suede and leather details! But the leather in the toe just looked like a clown or bowling shoe. I wish the two cap was suede and just the back cap was leather. Returning because they just weren’t my style.
