I wear a size 11 and hoped for the best the size reviews were exaggerated but these boots do run small. I had to return them unfortunately because they fit like a 10. I wanted these to work out!

I absolutely love the look of the boot, but the fit was a bit too narrow. Having to return

these boots look right with long boot cut jeans or skinny jeans for casual wear

Can’t give a review for the shoe. So I left 3’s…
Sorry! Don’t let my low score for the shoes deter you. They may be absolutely fine to “owners.”
They said the boots were delivered and they weren’t. Really upset because these were a gift for my child for Christmas. Since the review is supposed to be about the product, I will end here…

I really wanted to love these! I am usually an 8 in footwear but after reading some reviews I got an 8.5. It ended up being too big. I exchanged for the 8 and it was too small. The footbed was pretty narrow and they just felt a bit too stiff to be comfy for the amount of walking around snowy/wet cities I was looking to do. Super cute though!

These are nice looking boots but the upper part of the boots with that knit collar is very stiff and therefore uncomfortable when walking. I returned it, so don't know if it loosens up after wearing/walking for awhile.

Just got these boots in. Ordered my usual size and they are entirely too small and narrow. Need at least a half size up!

Cute boot overall, however, my heel kept slipping no matter how tight I tied the laces. I’m not sure sizing down would have helped because the toe box was already snug. There also wasn’t much support for a hiking boot, especially compared to my old Merrels.

Mainly, buyer beware on the sizing. Nice looking boot tho.

I found these difficult to get on and awkward to wear, and I didn't feel confident in them.

This is a very stylish hiking boot, and they are waterproof, but the ankle is not reinforced, so their is no support in the ankle. This means that while they are higher for hiking, they are not functional.

I wanted to love this boot. In fact, I also ordered it in black. Initially, they appeared to fit but when I walked in the black ones they made my feet hurt. Therefore I am returning both.

This boot is very cute but, it is very hard to put on and very light weight which is not good for WI weather. The quality of the boot does not match the price you pay. I returned them.

Sizing is completely off. Normally size 5 but ordered a 5.5 and it was impossible to get my foot in even with the thinnest pair of socks I own. It is also extremely narrow. Overall, I returned it and didn't like it enough to order a size 6 and see if that works.

I usually never write reviews but I was really excited to receive these for Christmas and I am very disappointed in how extremely uncomfortable these boots are.

They came scratched as if they were tried on too many times and didnt have the crisp look they had in the picture. I have a feeling they were the floor model or something. It was my christmas gift too

I was super excited to wear these cute boots but noticed my feet are always cold and they have terrible grip on bottoms always slipping on ice. Would Not recommend
