Customer Reviews Nisolo Classic Chelsea Boot

Loved the look of these online, but ... Tried them on, extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Quality not that great either. Returned.

These boots are no better than buying knock offs at H&M. I'm very disappointed to find that the quality is so poor. The leather is stiff and therefore leaves your ankles raw with rub marks if you do not wear socks that are higher than the boot. Even after several wears, I find that I cannot wear these boots without tall socks. The leather is easily scuffed with permanent scratches. This isn't a "nice patina" kind of effect either, it's more of an "that's an obvious scratch on your boot" kinda look. No amount of buffing will get those suckers out. The sole of the boot has no tread at the front. Did some designer just prototype this boot and then the manufacturers called it a day and create this boot from that???? It seems that no one at Nisolo invested in proper user testing because ANYONE would tell you that the moment you walk around in these boots it's like skating on ice. The sole is smooth and one finds herself slipping across any other smooth surface out in the world. I would warn any wearer to be careful in snow or ice. I myself had to additionally purchase traction stickers to place on the bottom to prevent slipping everywhere. Even with purchasing these boots on sale for $98 was not worth this kind of experience. I'm now left with an impression that Nisolo hides behind their Everlane-like aesthetic and nice marketing site but really the reality is a cheap knock off and poorly made product. Buyers beware.

I was gifted a pair of these boots in my normal size 8, they were a bit snug but I thought they would of course stretch a bit. Nope. I reached out to customer service and was very displeased with their "help" I was told to get them professionally stretched or sell them on a third party site.

I normally wear a 7.5. That size was too narrow and then I sized up to an 8. Still too narrow. I ended up giving them to my daughter.
