Customer Reviews Dolce Vita Arlete

I really liked these. They were comfy out of the box and would have been great for all day wear. I am a 10 or a 10.5 but these were definitely a little too big in a 10 even with a thicker sock. For reference the Frye Melissa chelsea boots are a style where you have to order down at least 1/2 a size sometimes more. These would have been fine for me in just a 9.5 as they are only slightly large. If you’re truly a 10.5 instead of in between like me, they probably would be just fine in a 10. Also if you have slightly wider feet, the 10 would likely work well too. My feet aren’t narrow but they slid around in the heel. The toe box is a little narrow so they don’t look too clunky even with the creeper-style sole. The interior arch support isn’t terribly high but there is some and they aren’t flat like Doc Martens. All in all, I really did like them and they only went back because of the size issue.

I loved the style and look of the boot. The toe box was nice and accommodating for my foot but the heel was way too loose so I practically stepped out of the boot when walking so they went back.
