Customer Reviews Trotters Ankle Boots and Booties - DELETED

The Good first: The shoes are well made, the arch support is better than average, the leather is soft, the heel is just the right height. I can actually get my feet into the shoes. This is the first pair of something like five pairs I've had shipped to me and had to return because of my foot problems, that I've been able to keep. The not so good: I wore the shoes only around the house, to make sure I could break them in and they would work for me. Unfortunately, cleaning up the kitchen, evidently a couple drops of olive oil dropped on the right shoe, and there was a very bad, visible stain! I've never had that happen with leather shoes. Research showed only very expensive leather cleaner that MIGHT work, to be shipped from England! And of course I didn't feel I could send them back. However, with some trial and error, I have pretty much covered up the big oil spots. I found some expensive brown boot creme from years ago when I had some "oxblood" brown boots, and have spent three sessions covering the shoes with the creme, letting them sit all night, then buffing. You can hardly see the stain unless you know to look for it. Now, what I considered the "bad and ugly" and that is the color of the boots before I started the polishing regime. They were nothing like the color on the screen, and not what I think of as "dark red" or a dark reddish brown color. They were actually sort of a pinkish purple. I felt as if I were wearing a clown costume! I thought of having them died, but that's expensive. However, if I keep on using the polish -- probably every single night, it covers up the purple and they look more like the photo, and more neutral. If you look up close, where the polish gets thin, the pinkish color peeps through, but really isn't that visible. I found the original color to be very delicate. After only one day of very careful, indoor wearing and no chance to rub against anything, around the back seam, the color was already wearing. That shouldn't happen without a lot of wear, and no polish! I am a little worried that the nice tricot lining will keep the leather from stretching as I need it to for the boots to become really comfortable. I am stretching them, and am going to try the alcohol and water trick, but don't know if it will work through the tricot. Let's hope! I really want these to be comfortable. I couldn't find a style of bootie I really liked in my size, which has to be WW, and not too long in the toes, so these are a compromise, but I'm giving them a chance and all the help I can!

I really wanted this boot to fit. So pretty the dark red. I wear a Wide. But it is narrower than what Wides run. The WW fit, but too loose in the heel. Just need some tweeking. As I said, beautiful boot.

want to try a wider and bigger size

I ordered the dark "red." It was a hideous dark pink (and I like pink, but this is really not dark red and ugly). Wait until the red goes on clearance, then get it. Good fit, cute style/

My heels just about lift out with every step. Would probably lead to blisters and is definitely annoying.

Much too wide. I liked the shoe, but it was a lot wider than a narrow.

The wide isn’t wide all the way through. The toe box is still narrow. I was able to get them on, but my toes were crunched in there. The shoe seems to be well made. I had to return mine.

I had to return these because they were a half size too short. They are very pretty and felt comfortable.

I have high arches and bought this boot because I thought the double zipper would allow my foot past the bend in the boot. Unfortunately, only one zipper is functional. The other is just decorative, so I couldn't get my foot in the inside.

UGH!!! Right out of the box I hated these boots. The brown boots look like they are made of plastic! I honestly cannot tell if they are made of leather or microfiber material. I ordered a size 8N and they are very tight with a sock, felt like a whole size too small. For the price of these boots I do NOT recommend them.

Fake Zipper! Only the inside zipper actually opens the other is for looks only. I wear a 10.5W but have a high instep with issues getting my foot into many boots, so when I saw a boot style with 2 zippers I thought this SHOULD be perfect allowing me to get my foot into the boot. A huge disappointment when I opened the box and realized only 1 of the zippers actually opened and I couldn't get my foot into the boot due to the sharp angle. Since I can't submit a review without a rating for every category, it seemed fair to I gave the boot a medium comfort rating for something I couldn't even get my foot into. Luckily I also ordered Softwalk Wesley which had a zipper and an elastic gore that allowed my foot into the boot.

I bought 3 pairs of boots at the same time. I kept the Rockports and the Dr. Scholls but had to return these. I got both shoes on, however, could only zip one of them up! Not a good look. For a wide shoes, makes sense if the ankle is a bit wider as well. just a thought....

This is a very stylish and comfortable flat boot, but I paid full price for them and st well over $100 bucks they should be lasting much longer! I have only been wearing them a few months and the runner bottom is pulling away at the toe and the chunky heel is wearing down. I am not at all hard on shoes and often keep them for years. I felt like I was purchasing a quality boot but I am very disappointed in how they are wearing! Too bad cuz they are exactly what I wanted!

Purchased 9M in Black Smooth Leather and in Dark Red. Returned both pairs. Could not get my right foot in corresponding boot for either pair and it was a struggle to put on the left ones. My feet are narrow, especially the heels. Tried them on wearing thin dress socks. What a shame because, fit aside, the boots appear to be well-constructed; beautiful leather; quality seen in more upscale products and what I had come to expect from Trotters. So disappointed because I need a boot with a very low heel. I could have ordered a larger size, but the boot would look too long and weird- the pointed toe already adds length. From what I could tell the medium width fit was true to size for the left ankle.

The comfort is so-so at best...I have a narrow foot so I need narrow shoes, and in my opinion the lack of comfort doesn't come from the shoe being narrow but rather it because it's cheaply made. After only the second use I could feel the inner sole falling apart. I recently ordered Trotters for my daughter as well and they gave her blisters. For a brand that's supposed to be known for comfort this is pretty disappointing, I think we'll move on from it.

Too Big

Shoes returned due to poor fit.

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the fit or size because I couldn't even put them on! I ordered a size 10 (extra wide width) to accommodate my left foot swelling and when I saw the description of this shoe/boot, it said "zippered closure at each side", which suits me perfect. When the shoes arrived, I found out that one side zipper is "real" and the other side zipper is "fake"!!! Do not believe the description for this shoe!!! Very disappointed, because I thought the quality of the shoe looked very good.

Ordered these in double wide but even though they were marked double wide I could not even get my foot inside at all.

Very hard to put these boots on as they sit so low. They have 2 zippers but only one opens why? They would be much easier to put on if both zippers opened. I found these boots very uncomfortable to walk in also. These are being returned.

I could not try on both shoes. The zippers on the sides are extremely difficult, in fact, I could not even unzip both sides to get the shoe on! Extremely disappointed about the quality since they cost over $100. I wish Zappos had a better selection of wide shoes for the younger generation!

This was a nice looking boot; however, the opening was so tight I couldn't get my foot into the boot. Very disappointed with Trotters with regard to this boot. Have to return.
