Customer Reviews Vagabond Shoemakers Tara Patent Leather Boot

I’m so glad I ordered these. The fit and quality are great. They have trendy thick soles without being too heavy or clunky. They look great on and I love the color. Highly recommend

Just a bit tight across the top. I am a 7 1/2 - bought the 8 and they are small but doable. So well made and great style!

Love these! The material nicks easily though and reveals the white underneath, and the color isn't easy to match so left with the mark.

The foot part of the boot fits well on me but the top part of the boot above the ankle is too narrow. I couldn't even try to put my very thin pants hem in it. Otherwise beautiful! I'm returning.

The next of the bit is too narrow to even tuck very thin pants in it.

Absolutely loved this look of this boot, but it is too small. I ordered a full size up per others reviews, but I believe sizing is off. I wear a size 10 / 41 EU. This boot says 41 is an 11. I trusted it, but I believe it fit like a true 41 / 10. Hoping to find it in a 42.

Top of the foot was more narrow in depth and width so not comfortable at all. Love the look ; just didnt work for my wide feet.

Shoes felt fine. True to size fit. They are a darker white...more of a bone white or almost tan in color, which is why I'm returning. Also, the platform fit just isn't for me.

These are beautiful boots, but the sizing was problematic so I ended up returning them (which I'm sad about). I'm normally an 8.5-9. The 9 were much to tight and short, and the 10 were too large--my heels were slipping up too much and I was afraid they'd cause blisters. I wish the sizing was better, as the cream color is amazing, the style is generally comfortable, and the boots look terrific with black clothing.

Heavy and narrow. Got my usual size 38 and feels okay with thin socks. I like the narrow shaft but people with wide feet may have issues with this. These will be good for outings that don't involve much walking or standing. They do look great, though! I will be keeping them.

too small, had to size up

Normally I wear an 8, and based on reviews I ordered a 9. STILL way too small.

very cute - a bit too small - uncomfortable and stiff to walk in

I ordered the patent leather finish. On both boots, the gloss finish was spotty, streaked, and noticeably uneven.

I am usually a size 7 and got a 7 but they are way too small. The ankle part is super slender and stiff (and I have thick ankles as it is). The leather feels nice, and will probably take a few times to wear it in. The sole/platform of the shoe feels high quality, and the boot itself looks cool as heck. I am going to exchange for a size up and hope it fits.

Disappointed! Love the look but the inside feels like cardboard and they are very narrow through the top of the foot.

This is a beautiful shoe that is narrow at the ankle and tight by half size.

I couldn't get my foot into these. the sides are quite stiff, and although they may stretch over time, I don't want the time investment. They are lovely overall, just couldn't get them on.

I wanted to love these , but I had to return. They were too large for me - I am most usually a size 5.5 so ordered a 6 as suggested, but lately it seems shoes are running even larger than normal for me! There is no arch support, and yes-they are a little hard to get on even as they were big otherwise. The quality does seems quite good and a big plus that the uppers are real leather.

I have wide feet so I always go a half size up on boots that don’t offer wide width. These felt narrow at the shaft. Tight at the heel. Spacious in front. I’d get at least a half size up or a full size for wide feet. I’m just gonna return and look for something different.

Very cool but narrow and hard to get on- the pull tape isn't large enough to get your finger through

The right shoe felt smaller and more narrow than the left shoe.

The most stiff and uncomfortable boots, unfortunately returning

These have absolutely 0 support whatsoever. You’d think for the price they’d be like walking on clouds. Nope! They are a hard insole no support they feel like a cheap shoe inside Returing. If you have any foot issues these are not the shoe for you. Also no zipper makes these hard as heck to put on

I was excited about the style of these shoes and could have overcome the fact that they run small (by ordering up a 1/2 size), however, the soles of these boots will NEVER allow me to walk safely in any icy/wet/snowy conditions as they are nearly SMOOTH. Ridiculous. Sending back. Even a wet floor would swiftly and deftly take you out if you were wearing these, let alone inclement weather outdoors.
