Customer Reviews Sofft Sharnell II Waterproof

I loved the look of these boots but sooo uncomfortable. I tried walking around for a few days in the house but they were never going to work for me.

The boots are made for super skinny calves. Even with them fully unlaced they would not zip up.

This boot fit everywhere but the calves - I couldn’t make it work even with the ties in the back loosened a lot. I usually can wear sofft boots (I do have more muscular calves) but these were not workable.

Calves way too tight even with laces loosened

Too tight in calf area - sole didn’t appear to be well constructed for long term weat

So cute boots! But my feet hurt with these. So sadly I had to return. I'm not sure why they hurt, because there seems to be some padding in the footbed.

Overall nice boot but on me sagged at the ankle. Nice color and style but fit made it look a little funny.

Fit was perfect…leather stiff with lots of markings on it. Box was damaged.

I love this boot but it was still too tight on my calf. I would have to open the laces too much to fit and that would just scream...BIG CALVES. Beautiful leather. Quality boot.

NOT for wide calves!! I unlaced one boot almost to the ankle, thinking I’d zip it up and then lace it to fit. I couldn’t even zip them over my ankle. So disappointing, because they’re good quality boots!

Too narrow for me but the black suede is pretty

These boots were super cute and exactly what I was looking for, but so narrow. For a comfort brand, I was disappointed.

I wear a 10 all the time. And these didn’t even fit at a 11. The calf is very narrow.

I reeeeeally wanted to love these boots but the distressing isn’t right. The process they used made them look cheap. IMO Other than that they’re a great boot

I absolutely love the boots! The quality of the leather was great and felt so soft. It was beautiful! But in order for the boots to adjust the circumference from 13 inch to 17 inch, you need to adjust the lace in the back. I didn't have an issue adjusting the lace except, while the boots say it can be adjusted up to 17in, my calves are the circumference of 16 inches and it did not fit. I had to practically unlace it to make it fit with no room to tie the laces up. Anything after 15 inches, will not work. Anything after 15 inches, the laces stretch out so much and it didn't look pretty. In fact, it made my calves look even fatter. I wanted to love them, I really did. But they are beautiful.

the boots were narrow on me, adjusting the tight laces helped but then didn't look as good. to have them fit on calves, be sure to be super skinny or opt for wider calves. The look and style of the boots was great though.

The width of the boots was to narrow. I have been a medium width all my life. These boots ran narrow. I also saw scrapes on the boots and realized it must be the waterproofing.

too tight on my calves

Beautiful boots but... I wanted these boots bad! I love the grey color and the lace up shaft. The suede is nice and the inside has a beautiful leopard print material. Unfortunately for me, they are too tight across my foot. I would have to wear a knee high stocking and it’s still a bit tight. Sadly I have to return. Wish they came in a wide width.

I had been eyeing these boots in black suede for some time, and finally decided to make the purchase. I was so excited on the day of delivery, but as soon as I placed my foot inside the boot, the excitement faded. These are narrow in the toe box (unfortunately like too many shoes) and they were hard around the ankle area which seemed to rub in a bad way with each step. The calf was surprisingly snug, although if I was going to keep them, I'm sure I would have been able to adjust the laces for a more customized, comfort fit, but I didn't even bother since I knew they were going to be returned. I also did not like the pre-worn feature on the toe. For the price, I feel I can find something more comfortable and hopefully just as stylish.

Loved these boots, however, the calf was too small to zip up. I am 5’ 9”, 189 lbs, size 9.5-10, and have never needed a larger, or a “wide calf” boot. Well, not until now. Great feeling boot though. Hate it didn’t work out.

I loved the boot and would have kept them but the top of the toe had a funny worn appearance ....which I didnt care for

I have been searching for the PERFECT boots - these were ALMOST it... I have very skinny calves, and it is difficult to find a pair of boots that do not gape around my legs. The reviews were accurate - these boots are great for those of us with skinny legs, but would also work well for those that do not have chicken legs - you can just loosen the laces in the back. The fit was great. As much as I wanted to keep these boots, I just couldn't. The waterproofing made the leather feel almost rubbery - giving it a cheap feel. It was not a smooth leather, but more of a pebbled texture. I had also looked at the suede pair but did not like the distressed toes on the boots - it made them look dirty. Therefore, I have returned the boots and will continue my search~

These are beautiful boots that are warm and truly waterproof. The only negative is that that the shaft was very tight on my medium sized calves, even with letting the laces out. They did tend to stretch a little, as leather does so they do fit. But if anyone has wide calves, these are not going to fit. Otherwise, a beautiful boot.

The features of this boot appeared to be everything I was looking for, i.e. good arch support, adjustability of calf width with the use of laces so the boot could be worn over tights or pants, and waterproof. But when worn over basic thickness socks, these boots are too tight in the toes. While the cushioning in the arch and ball of the foot are good, there's very little in the heel, where the greatest impact is in walking. But the most unsatisfactory factor is the time it takes to loosen the laces when putting the boot on so that the zipper can be pulled up and than tightening and tying the laces for the proper snugness, all done without seeing the laces because they are on the back of the boot. Then the whole process has to be done in reverse to get out of the boot. Sadly, this boot is too much of a hassle to wear.
