My 14 year old daughter absolutely loves these boots! She said they're very comfortable. She gets many compliments. Only one downfall, they bled all over the bottom of her white leggings. Ordering and shipping was great, they arrived in one day! Thanks Zappos VIP! My daughter's words: You're awesome!

They were true to size, unfortunately they weren't wide enough for my feet! They were adorable, I wish I didn't have to return them!

I ordered a size up after reading everyone's reviews and really wish I hadn't. I think anyone that is a half size should possibly go up one higher, but otherwise stay your natural size and let them stretch out. The boot felt floppy and too loose. Also, the brown suede has a little bit more of a red undertone than I expected, but they're still a good color.

Cute and comfortable! Fit around my calf nicely. I typically wear a size 8 and ordered a size 8 but the size seemed to be a little big. I could have gone a half size down but decided just to keep these. The shoe was slightly narrow but not uncomfortable for me.

These boots are adorable I've had them for a couple of years. They are so so on comfort no arch support, etc. But great fashionable boots. Very cute!

These boots are so cute! I love the color, although it does flake off a bit onto your clothing. It washed off when I washed my pants.

Not the most comfortable boots I've owned but love the style. They run a bit small which is strange because I have minnetonka moccasins and I feel they run a bit big. I find it hard to get them on if I wear high socks and skinny jeans. However Minnetonka is great quality and I love how they look.

I gave these four stars overall, because I have not found a good way to keep these boots up! I love them, but the rubber band under the fringe idea cuts off my circulation. I originally ordered a 6, even though I wear a 6 or 6.5 for most shoes. My mistake. Order up, since these only come in whole sizes.

Very cute boots! Bought in the wine color, tons of compliments. They are a bit narrow, but with a few wears have molded to my feet.

Love these boots! They make any outfit. The only thing that bothered me was when my jeans were tucked in the boots, there was some friction between the jeans and my ankle.

I have these in brown suede, and I absolutely love them. There is no arch support, so I had to add an orthopedic insert. The boots are a bit on the big side by half a size. I typically wear a size nine, and size nine has a little wiggle room in these Minnetonkas. I wear these with skinny jeans or leggings and consider them an Ugg alternative without the extra warmth. I get compliments on them all the time, usually from little girls. My kids love the sound the fringe makes when I walk. Zappos is absolutely fabulous to work with. Easy ordering. Prices are competitive. Easy returns if they don't fit.

These boots look great, are a bit narrow, but are fun. Sealed them to waterproof and now wear them anytime.

Great looking boots but they run very small. I ordered for my daughter 2 sizes up like some recommended and still was too small. She wears a 4.5 and a 7 in womens was too small. Very narrow as well.

Love these! Super comfortable and fun to wear! They do lack any kind of support...since they are moccasins, but if you buy a simple boot/arch support insert, you are all set! Comfort + Style, how could you go wrong?

These run very narrow and a half to a whole size smaller than marked. I have the ankle zip up Minnetonka's in an 8 1/2 which I love but these 3-layer fringe ones in a 9 are much smaller than those are! The sole is much narrower in comparison. Another thing to note, I tried these same shoes on in the brown, also in a size 9, and they were huge, way too big, whereas the 'brick' ones feel snug. So I have concluded that within this style the sizing is inconsistent. I'm hoping mine will stretch out in the suede part. They are very cute in person, but I noticed some quality concerns on mine that my other Minnetonka's don't have, some bare spots in the suede. I have mixed feelings about them but I'm going to try to make them work.

I returned these because the height looked awkward with my calves, but they'd be cute on a lot of girls. Zappos customer service is unbeatable. I'm planning on getting the lace front hard sole knee hi boots to replace them as soon as the larger sizes are restocked.

I bought these for my daughter who wears a 7 and they fit fine in the foot; however they were so tight in the calf she couldn't wear them over jeans and I had to take them back to the store I got them from. I was hoping that by ordering a different lot from Zappos we may get a slightly looser calf fit.

Super cute pull on boots, more olive than evergreen in color. Not much foot support, but pretty comfortable nonetheless.

I found that these fit shorter than the pair I tried on in a store one day! They had told me at the store that their sizes were sort of random. I am going to have to return and hope for a "bigger" 9 this next time.

They are really cute, unique, and versatile. However, they are more narrow & fit smaller than I expected. I'm hoping the reviews I read indicating they stretch with wear will apply because I don't want to return & await a reorder. I guess I'll wear them fitted! A girl just can't bear to not wear new shoes!

Boots worked out great. Were a birthday present for my daughter. She loves them! Recommend a size larger than what you wear as they seem to run small. Also, an intersole works great since there is not much to cushion the foot. They are like slippers.

The best thing about these boots is the style. The red color is gorgeous. Blood red, not too orange, not too bright. The fringe is adorable and the instep tailoring is reminiscent of cowboy boots. The bad? Comfort. There is very little padding in the insole. The rigid sole isn't comfortable at all compared to soft sole shoes. There is suede lining on the inside, but also a lot of exposed stitching all along the edge of your foot, which is highly irritating. Combine that with a rigidly narrow styling, and that makes for pain in my sensitive skin. The narrowness of the shoe would eventually stretch out because this is genuine leather, but even after that, my foot would overhang both the insole and the outsole, both of which are very narrow. The shoe is also about an inch longer than my toes. I have double-wide feet. The calf is narrow enough that on me, it forces the boot to be scrunchy, which isn't what it should be. There is no zipper or other way to open the calf, but it's easy to just slide your feet in and out. So, to summarize, if you're skinny and have long, narrow feet, you'll find the fit to be good right out of the box. You still won't be comfy, though, because the boots are hard-soled with almost no padding whatsoever.

I love these boots! At first they are snug but after a few wears they fit great. I Have pretty narrow feet and these were snug in the width.
