Customer Reviews Shoe The Bear Eli Chelsea Suede

This was the perfect shoe the only problem is they were too small for my foot

This boot actually looks awesome online. However, I had to return this item b/c it was a super tight fit for the usual size I get here on Zappos for boots. Additionally, one can barely fit their finger in the loop to advance the boot onto your foot.

These boots are perfect! I wish they came in other colors! Perfect fit, light weight, and perfect for any occasion.

Great boots! normally wear a mens 8 but ordered the 7 because of the pointed toe, didn't want my foot to look too long and narrow, and they fit perfectly. Awesome alternative to the YSL Wyatt Chelsea boots.

Normally wear a US9 shoe. Ordered this boot in a 42 but it was a little small. Zappos exceptional customer service swapped them out for a 43 without issue. Wore the size 43 yesterday. Great style, better fit, beautiful boots. Just keep In mind that they seem to run a bit small. Perhaps order the next size up from your normal size.

Handsome boot

Fit is similar to fellow Danish brand ECCO – very narrow for boots, with a sharp taper on the outside edge into the toe box. I'm normally a 9.5 US or 42.5 EU, noting that half sizes are not available for either ECCO or Shoe The Bear. Tried 42, returned for 43 (= 10 US); while my feet would be swimming in a Rockport 10M, these boots in 43 were just about perfect, though still slightly tight at the little toe – the suede seems supple, so hopefully this will stretch a tad with wear. The high shafts are very narrow, which makes for a very sleek look along with the low profile and pointed toes, but they're very hard to put on; fortunately, the gores stretch adequately, but you'll need to use your fingers as shoe horns since the loops are too small to hook your fingers into! Taupe suede looks great; a sleeker, dressier look versus, say, the Clark's Clarkdale Hall Chelsea boot – also a handsome shoe, BTW – although I anticipate less comfortable...
