So heavy!

posted by: Natalie G. posted on: Apr 19, 2012

These boots are ridiculously heavy! The toe is an odd round shape, versus the slightly almond-shaped toe it looks like. Also, no padding on the foot.. at all. It'd be like walking on wooden floors barefoot alllll day; no thank you!

The cute boot w/ flaws

posted by: CuteTeacher29 (Easley, SC) posted on: Mar 22, 2012

I really love these boots. I've been eyeballing them for a while and I finally bought them. They scuff easily and they wrinkle in the worst places but they are so cute. It doesn't matter though b/c I kept them. I absolutely love them. They look really cute with skiiny jeans. The shaft is not very fitted and these boots have to be next worn with really skinny jeans or next to nothing on your legs. Other than that, I have no complaints.

I love love love these

posted by: emgee (Nebraska) posted on: Mar 9, 2012

I bought these in September '11 and LOVE them. The shaft is a little wide, but I think it would look weird if they were tighter. I'm only 5'3" and so I was worried they would look too tall, but they are perfect. I wouldn't recommend wearing them in snow or through puddles since the toe part is so flat and would come in contact with water. I usually wear them when I dress up, but they look cute with just jeans and a casual shirt too! I get compliments all the time..would highly recommend these!

Poor/inconsistent leather quality

posted by: Niro (New York City) posted on: Dec 17, 2011

I wanted to love these boots because the wine color is unique but I had the same problem as a previous reviewer, with one boot very wrinkled. The leather on one boot looked cracked and made it seem very cheap. They looked like two completely different boots. I don't usually write reviews but I had to comment because I'm disappointed I have to return this purchase.

So sad,,,

posted by: littlemouse (california) posted on: Dec 1, 2011

I wanted these boots so badly, did a bunch of research and finally committed to purchasing them, so I was completely crushed when I tried them on and saw how terrible they looked...the boot shaft is so wide all the way down that it makes my ankles look super funky and ugly, they look four times wider than they are. For the price, I felt I couldn't just settle with them. But the wine color is so gorgeous and rich and they look so cute from the profile view...maybe they will work better for someone taller.

The Leather... CHEAP looking!

posted by: IsabelleD (Oakland, CA) posted on: Nov 19, 2011

These definitely run a half size too small. I ordered 7.5 and had to send them back. 8 fit better.

The problem I have, however, is the poor quality of the leather. One boot is WAY more wrinkly than the other. And the wrinkly-ness is not consistent throughout the boot, and much less from the left to the right foot. Also, the right shaft is about 1/2 in taller than the left. What the heck?

Anyway, I've already worn these one day so I don't think I can return them. (PS - The thin sole wore down noticeably after just a few hours of shopping).

I'm kind of mad at how poor these boots look for $150. If I wanted to look cheap I'd go get a $40 pair of fake leather boots from Target!

Love!!

posted by: shoe lover (Indianapolis) posted on: Nov 19, 2011

It's pretty hard to find boots that fit around my calf. These babies were perfect for my calfs. I bought the stone color and they are SUPER cute.I normally wear a size 7.5 but ordered up to an 8 so I can wear thick socks. I really didn't need to do that after I got them. It has a little room in there but it's fine. I'm keeping these. I now want another color. I'm thinking the wine color would be pretty cute.

Don't wear outside in rain or snow

posted by: Sassafras (Ithaca, NY) posted on: Nov 12, 2011

So so quality. Super thin sole...think ballet flats (excluding heel) so really not appropriate to wear in rain or snow...the leather will come in contact with the ground. Decided to return boots.

Favorite boots!

posted by: dn6482 (California) posted on: Nov 9, 2011

I've had these boots for 2 years and by they're my favorite! I love the leather. Highly recommended

Wanted to love them

posted by: are273 posted on: Nov 8, 2011

I really wanted to love these boots - they are a great color and have a nice little wedge. But, I found the boot a little too slouchy and the opening a little too wide for my calves. I also thought the area around the toes felt tight, and I have narrow feet. So, unfortunately, they are going back.

Nice boots

posted by: dee (Canada) posted on: Nov 5, 2011

Based on the reviews, most people got these boots in cognac so I decided to get the black ones to be different. Miley Cyrus was also spotted in these a few times so if you want to see how they look like on, you can google it.

When I took them out of the box, I was in love with them. The leather was nice and they looked really expensive. But when I tried them on, the shaft was way too big. I expected them to be a little wider because of some reviews, but even on the last hole, it was too wide. I don't think I'll be able to wear them with a dress but I think they look alright with jeans tucked in. I also like the height that the wedge gives. I got these a half size larger and they fit nicely.

Great everyday boot!

posted by: gc2884 (Washington, DC) posted on: Nov 5, 2011

I have wider calves and always have trouble finding boots that will fit. These have an adjustable strap so I can make the circumference bigger (~16in). There is also a little room in the ankle which is actually really helpful when trying to fit over jeans and socks- I like the slouchy look. The leather is also flexible so its easy to pull on and off. The wedge gives it a little lift without being difficult or uncomfortable to walk around in. Beware the heel is a little narrow so you have to be a little careful. I have to cognac and it goes with everything (jeans, brown, black)! I'm usually a true 7 in flats and heels and I ordered a 7.5 per the other reviews. I think it was a good choice and they fit great.

LOVE, but may be hit or miss

posted by: juliemarie posted on: Oct 31, 2011

I originally got these a couple years ago in the cognac and I loved those to death. I am normally a size 9, but because they didn't have my size in stock I tried a half size smaller. I kept the 8.5, even though they were a smidgeon tight, but I hoped the leather would stretch.
When I found the wine color, I just had to have them. I ordered my normal size 9 because the 8.5s never really stretched.
The 9s were too big in the calf, looked sloppy and slouchy. (I have smaller yet athletic calves).
Reordering a half size smaller, the pair was mismatched. I decided to reorder once again, but this pair was overly pebbled and creased. I ordered two more and the last ones I decided to keep because they finally met my expectations.
Because of the quality issues, beware you may need to order four different pairs before you find the perfect pair.

Trying to decide

posted by: ad2265 posted on: Oct 6, 2011

I am glad I read the reviews are order a 1/2 size up. You def should too if you decide to get these booty. The leather is very pebbled. That isn't really an issue for me. What is, however, is how slouchy the boots are. There is a lot of room in the ankle and shaft. If you have bigger legs, this is the boot for you. If you don't, you might think they are too wide. I am still trying to decide if I am going to keep them. They look good with jeans. But, they might be too wide for leggings.

Love it!

posted by: K. Burke (Oregon) posted on: Oct 3, 2011

Although I originally ordered these boots in my normal size, I had to exchange them up a 1/2 size. Other than that, I LOVE THEM! I have gotten tons of compliments in the few times I have worn them, and know that they will be a staple in my fall and winter wardrobe for years to come. I was pleasantly suprised by just how much they match! I ordered STONE and it is a very versatile color. I have already recommended these to several friends!

Finally- Boots that FIT!!!

posted by: gh27 posted on: Oct 1, 2011

I am so beyond excited! I have been on the hunt for stylish boots for a while now. Problem is I have larger calves (15" circumference). I love love LOVE these boots, they fit perfectly and are comfortable. I love the little wedge too. The leather is great, I know lots of reviewers don't like the pebbled look, but I love it. It gives the boot nice texture. I purchased these a half size larger (ordered a 7 but usually am 6.5) so that there would be room for socks in the in the winter time. I got these in black but think my next pair will be in cognac! My only gripe is the gold buckle, that is only because I don't care for anything gold. Otherwise, I can not get enough of these boots! SO AMAZING!

Great

posted by: B.E. (United States) posted on: Sep 19, 2011

Usually, with Steve Maddens, I have to buy a half size larger than usual, so I did the same with this boot. I wish I had gone with my regular size because they are slgihtly too large. However, I am not bothering to exchange for the correct size because I can just wear thicker socks during the winter with them. Otherwise, as expected.. the leather is a tad thin, but overall very nice/cute boot. I get compliments on them all the time.

I wanted to love it BUT...

posted by: gabbysmama posted on: Aug 24, 2011

The style is cute but that's about all this boot has going for it. The leather is overly pebbled so much so that it looks strange. On the pair I received, the stain was very uneven. There was a large blotch of dark color that wasn't worked into the boot well. It was very noticeable. The toe area already had a scuff on it. The leather on the foot part is very thin I think it would wear VERY fast. I doubt these would look good after one season of wear. They are going back tomorrow!!

Great boot

posted by: Kathryn posted on: Aug 13, 2011

This is a nice boot - the adjustable buckle at the top definitely saved it for me though. I can usually pull on Steve Madden boots, but these were a little tight. Hopefully they'll stretch out like all my others have. Very comfortable and I really like the wedge heel.

So good so far...

posted by: Bootsaremadeforwalking (Somerset, NJ) posted on: May 11, 2011

I've been looking for a nice pair of inexpensive cognac riding boots for a VERY long time! Initially I found these boots at Nordtroms, but quickly realized that I can get a better price at endless.com. The best part of all was the hassle-free transaction. It was quick and easy and I received my boots in two days plus got 20% off during their promo! I know that people have complained about the boots scuffing easily, but what boots won't if you wear them often? I gave four stars because I haven't worn them yet, but they looked great and felt comfortable when I tried them on. I can't wait to wear them!

Great boots!

posted by: ShoeCrazyGirl (New York City) posted on: Apr 16, 2011

These boots are great. They fit well and a super comfortable. Only complaint is that if you step wrong on the heel (because it is so narrow) you will slide if you are on a wood or tile floor. My co- worker and I both have them and it has happened to both of us!

Save yourself the pain...

posted by: southerngirl posted on: Mar 26, 2011

I cannot describe how bad the leather is on these boots. So I won't try. Cute design. Bad, bad execution.

Avocado peel!

posted by: Shoes 'R' Me (San Francisco) posted on: Feb 28, 2011

Yes, that's what the material reminded me of - an avocado peel (not too pretty). Plus, it was way too baggy around the ankles. Too bad, they looked cute on the web. My search continues for the cute flat black boot.

Have this boot in brown and thats why I bought it in black

posted by: Posh posted on: Feb 28, 2011

I love this boot! I bought it in brown and now own it in black too. the only downside is that there are scuff marks which have been showing but I have been wearing them A LOT

good look, so-so wear

posted by: Helen posted on: Feb 21, 2011

This boot looks good and is versatile fashion-wise. Fits pretty true to size but a bit snug in the width. The problem I'm having is that the heel surface is very slick and narrow. The first two times I wore them I slipped (even though I pre-scuffed the soles) and almost fell when walking on slick surfaces. Also, the wedge is real narrow and not real stable when walking. The heel is low enough though that the wobbling isn't dangerous. I really wanted to "love" these boots - but just "so-so".

Great boot for winter

posted by: Sarala00 (Dallas) posted on: Feb 5, 2011

This is a great versatile boot that can be worn with leggings or a sweater dress. Can be casual as the leather is a bit pebbled and not too shiny, but with the buckle, slightly pointed toe and wedge heel it looks great with a dress too! My only complaint is that if i wear tights i need to use an insert because the shoe is a little too wide around the instep and heel. Several girls at my office have this boot. We are all different sizes/body shapes - this boot works for all of us!

Great boot!

posted by: Sleek and Stylish (Florida) posted on: Nov 30, 2010

I only gave these 4 stars because the scrunching it does by the ankles. But, other than that these boots are amazing. So comfortable and stylish. The cognac color is beautiful and a true cognac color. I felt these boots were a half size too small. The shaft is nice and roomy, but not too big.

Very large

posted by: Laura posted on: Nov 30, 2010

For me, this boot ran about a whole size too large. Not sure if anyone else has had this experience, so read the other reviews before ordering (maybe I got a pair that was missized?) They were also slouchy as another reviewer noted. I'll keep looking

Ohh boy...

posted by: Jen (Bedford, TX) posted on: Nov 28, 2010

I wanted to like...I really really did want to and I tried to make them work, but they were too small in the shaft for my calves.... and I do not have big calves at all. I have never had a problem with fit around my calves, in fact most are too big. But these, even after loosening them to the last hole, were too small with leggings and jeans. I was also very disappointed with the quality. For $100 I expected to not have all the black rub off on my hands as I tried them on, which made a brand new pair look like they've been around for a few seasons after 5 minutes. Unfortunately, Its back they go.

Slouchy

posted by: Lynn (Ohio) posted on: Nov 27, 2010

I ordered these boots a few weeks ago thinking they'd be the perfect camel-colored boots I'd been searching for. They were not. The color was great (not as shiny as the picture which I liked) but the shaft of the boot was very wide and bunched up around my ankles making them look 10 times larger. I have pretty athletic calves, so by no means are they skinny, and the boots still slouched. I returned them right after trying them on.

Made for people with wide feet!

posted by: Hungry Kitten (Boston, MA USA) posted on: Nov 25, 2010

This boot was too short for my foot, but when I tried walking in it my feet slipped out because they are so so so wide. I am returning these boots.

Very cute boot!!

posted by: EmiJu (Albuquerque, NM) posted on: Nov 13, 2010

This was my first order with Endless. I bought the wine boot for as my birthday gift. Yeah, I gift myself :)
I was so anxious to get the boots and try them on. Endless service is great by the way.
I love these boots. The wine color is very pretty. At night it looks kind brownish. Have got lots of compliments on it. Love the buckle that you can adjust the boot to your calf. It's comfortable to walk w/ it. Has that little heal that's gives the boot a touch. There is almost no arch support if you are looking for that on these boots.I usually wear 8 and for some boots I always get half size up. I ordered the single one they had 8 1/2 and it fits great. It is kinda hard (not that extremely)to put the boot on cause there is no ziper but this doesn't drive me crazy. I expected that. Endless has the best price. I definetely recommend these boots to anyone.

Pretty happy

posted by: Eileen posted on: Nov 8, 2010

This boot is basic and that's why I like it. It's comfortable enough to wear for the whole night, but definitely not the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.

The toe feels a little narrow and the stiff ankle is a little uncomfortable, but probably necessary in order to keep the boot from slouching down.

It's strange to the me that the heel is a slippery type of plastic when the rest of the sole is rubber. I can see why some people might have an issue if they hit the heel wrong on a slippery floor.

For the price, I think it's a great pair of boots.

UGLY & Cheap!!

posted by: bootsiebombshell (San Francisco) posted on: Nov 4, 2010

I should've gone with my gut and not purchased these. Fit is large in the shaft (for those with slim/small calves) and gapped a lot at the top. The tiny wedge is ridiculous (will probably completely wear down after a few days of walking around in them) and worst yet: the quality of the pleather is hideous! it's sort of shiny, saggy and super wrinkly! Really surprised because usually Steve Madden shoes are great.

TERRIBLE leather - and one boot slouches!

posted by: shoegal (Washington, DC) posted on: Nov 1, 2010

I bought these boots in black and wore them 2-3 times before I noticed that the right boot started to slouch really badly - it was noticeably lower than the left boot and looked uneven on my legs. Then I noticed that the right boot was way thinner than the left boot. I took them to a shoe maker and they are going to fix them for $45 by replacing the inner lining to try to stiffen it up. He said the problem is probably that the boots use leather from different parts of the cow (e.g., the shoulder skin creates firmer leather than the neck skin).

They're cute, but so annoying to spend money on them and then have them slouch and have to pour more money into them. Think twice before buying

HAUTE Boots! I scored!

posted by: Glenis (Burbank, CA) posted on: Oct 23, 2010

I searched all over for these exact boots and saved at least $35 if not more by ordering from Endless - and I got them overnight for FREE! You can't beat Endless' service and quality.

Cute style but very poor quality leather

posted by: i*bella (Bay Area, CA) posted on: Oct 22, 2010

I bought these boots the first season they came out (approx. Winter 2008/Spring 2009?). While I love the style of the boot, the sliver wedge and the cognac color, I have one VERY big bone to pick with this boot. The leather SUCKS. The boots scuffed the first time I wore them, but unfortunately by then I couldn't return them because they weren't in resaleable condition. The boot tends to bunch and wrinkle right at the top of the foot at the ankle, creating creases across the top of the foot. Also, within a short time of wearing them the leather becamse crackly and scaly looking and it will NOT take leather polish very well, so this is something to think about further down the line. I wish someone had told me about the poor quality of the leather when I bought these boots. I definitely wouldn't have kept them if I knew they'd turn scaly and scuff so easily.

loving this boot

posted by: b.murphy (buffalo, ny) posted on: Oct 11, 2010

after reading more positive than negative reviews i gave these a try. the wine color is great and matches with blacks, browns and greys. i am 5'6" with skinny legs so i can never usually wear high boots. these were not too large around my legs and were adjustable allowing me to make them a little tighter. the heel height is perfect , the fit and look of them is great!

Good buy

posted by: ShoeLover (Canada) posted on: Sep 29, 2010

I purchased the Cognac color and I always wear a size 6, however, this boot was actually very tight and too small, so I highly recommend that you buy 1/2 size up! The heel portion of the boot is very firm, so I can see these boots becoming uncomfortable after a long walk. I am disappointed in the color of the boot. For the price I am expecting a uniform coloring process and not 4cm X 1-1.5cm blotches of light beige scattered across the boot.

The sole of the boot is a very thin cheap rubber and don't know how long they will last. The width of the calf is a bit wide to wear on its own and therefore I expect to mainly wear them with skinny jeans tucked in. I know some other reviewers commented on how the boot is slouchy, but I actually don’t mind the bit of slouching around the ankle area; it’s not that much of an eye sore.

Overall, I do like to the boot but I don't love them.

I really like the look of these boots, and they are comfortable. I decided to return them, just too pricey, didn't love them that much.

wanted to love!

posted by: mshoe posted on: Sep 17, 2010

i ordered the cognac in two different sizes. the 7.5 was too small and i could barely get it on and off, and the 8 was too big, both in the shoe and the boot shaft. i liked the color a lot, but the overall look of the 8 was a little sloppy.

Nice color

posted by: Bag lover (New York City) posted on: Aug 30, 2010

I bought the boot in Wine and its a very nice color like a burgundy/mahogany color. Very rich color. Anyway, endless has a tendency to send boots that are worn and have scratches. The first time i bought them the boot was terrible like it was scratched up and dented in. The second boot that came in there was minimal scratches but i will bring it to the shoe repair to fix/buff it up. The boot shaft is a bit wide. IT IS NOT 14inches. the real measurement is 15-15 1/2 inches around the shaft.

Most comfortable boots ever!

posted by: Design Addict (Washington, USA) posted on: Aug 23, 2010

I bought the gray last fall, and basically lived in them! The leather is so buttery soft and the whole boot is super comfortable. It's hard to find boots that will accommodate my high arch and wide calves, and these seem roomy enough to work on everyone. I just got the cognac color as well, and the pebbled leather is a little stiffer, and I think the toe is a little tighter. From the previous pair I'm confident they will break in fine though.

hoped they'd be perfect

posted by: Sally posted on: Jul 27, 2010

i was so excited for these but the shaft goes too high on me and the opening is so wide on top, wider than stated and they make my legs look so weirdly thin (a problem i have with a lot of boots actually). Also the leather is so dressy but the style seems more casual, no idea how to wear them. i'll continue my search.

LOVE these!!

posted by: C.D. (Concord, CA) posted on: May 3, 2010

I bought one pair...received them, and instantly fell in love with them...the color of the cognac boots is gorgeous! I wore them out the first night I got them and decided I loved them so much that I needed to purchase a second pair and store them for future wear. These boots are really comfortable...I even persuaded my mom to buy a pair! :)

Great boots!

posted by: Molly posted on: May 2, 2010

I love these boots. They are really comfortable and cute, and look great with jeans or dresses/skirts. They're also the perfect color that goes with everything. Great purchase, highly recommend!!

Very Versatile

Do not get!

posted by: Yvonne Blanco (Amarillo, TX USA) posted on: Mar 30, 2010

I am an avid buyer of Steve Madden, however, I am upset with this boot!! Where to start? Since there is no zipper you have to slide on the boot. Very difficult. It seems like your foot gets stuck. Nevermind about the trouble trying to get the boot off. Look great on - if you want to go through the pain!

Cute but not very comfortable.

posted by: rainyjewels posted on: Mar 27, 2010

I absolutely adored these when I first got them and walked around my apt. I probably would've given them a rave review then. But it was a different story after actually wearing them out. These felt very comfortable for the first half hour. Then increasingly with wear, every time I stepped I felt like my toes were hitting the top of the shoe. It really hurt the joints in my toes. There's apparently this really hard piece of cardboard or leather in the very front toe area of the boot which is what is probably causing the discomfort. I'm wearing them out for the second time today and hoping they feel more comfortable. BTW I got them half size larger than usual and they fit fine.

Uncomfortable

posted by: Jessica (NYC) posted on: Feb 25, 2010

I really like the style and color of the boot, but in the end they are painful to wear.
1. They are difficult to put on and take off.
2. The problem area is the ankle and achilles- the material is not flexible and they rub against my feet.
3. I should have returned them but I thought I could break them in.
I still havent.

It's OK

posted by: shoolover (Houston, TX) posted on: Feb 20, 2010

I usually wear a 8.5 in Steve madden shoes and that is what i ordered. The boot fits good but is narrow in the toe area. I was thinking it would be a good fit since it is not pointy toed but almond toe. Secondly,while the shaft may be too big for people with normal calves, it was a good fit for my wide calves, however, the ankle opening is too narrow and it started hurting that part of my leg after abt an hr of wearing.Looks great with skinny jeans tucked in or tights.I got it in the cognac color and it is truly gorgeous. I have worn it about 10 times now and I don't have a single scuff on it.I don't think it is going to last more then 2 seasons, but for the price it was a good purchase. Overall comfort was just ok too if you are not walking around in them all day long. I am ok with this purchase.

Great boot with a reasonable price

I love this boot. They simple and versatile. I can wear them with skirts or with jeans tucked in. The low wedge heel also gives a more polished feel than a traditional riding boot. And, I've received a lot of compliments!

eh...

posted by: Chloe Roth (Los Angeles, CA) posted on: Feb 15, 2010

Just two things to be aware of... the leather is very porous and not smooth. The picture here does it justice to the look and feel of the leather, however on the steve maddan site, it looks completely different.

The other thing is that it bunched at the ankle.
If you are looking for a tight fitting structured classic riding boot, this isn't what you want to buy.

Very nice-looking boots but not very comfortable

posted by: SeonMi posted on: Feb 11, 2010

I've had a hard time trying to find a nice pair of flat knee-high boots. These fit the bill nicely but they aren't very comfortable. I went up half a size to wear a thick pair of socks and there is barely enough room for my toes. On the plus side, these are not too shiny at all like I was afraid of. Also, there is a buckle to adjust for more or less room for your calves.

very loose shaft, but great feel of leather

posted by: tlb (texas) posted on: Feb 8, 2010

i wished these could have worked. the quality leather was so soft. i have a wider than usual calf. what made me return these, was the very loose shaft around the heel and ankle area. please rethink if you have slim calves and ankle area.

loooooove it

posted by: Kimberly posted on: Feb 5, 2010

i absolutely love these. true to size. they are gorgeous, good quality leather. the only thing is that the heel is kinda tight, but im hoping i can stretch it out over time. love em!

Pretty, but just not right.

posted by: RubySlipper2 (Nebraska) posted on: Jan 30, 2010

A great looking boot, if I saw in a store, would have tried it on. But... seemed right fit but right boot felt too tight. Loved the pebble leather and buckle, but agree with others, the poochiness at anterior ankle was not attractive. Sadly, had to return.

Heel was Tight

posted by: Lisa C. Mowry posted on: Jan 27, 2010

Ordered an 8.5 but was too small. Not sure if that is what caused the heel to be almost impossible to get my foot into the boot. Will not order a larger size.

Love this shoe!

posted by: Erika W posted on: Jan 17, 2010

Everything is perfect about this shoe. I ordered 1/2 a size bigger than my normal size (9) for when I wear thick socks/tights. Comfortable and stylish!

Love my boots!

posted by: kelso115 (austin) posted on: Jan 9, 2010

I've already received lots of compliments on these and I've only worn them a handful of times. They are comfortable, stylish and go with everything. Great purchase!

Awesome boots!

posted by: CityCutie (New York City) posted on: Jan 6, 2010

These boots are exactly what I have been looking for. There is more than enough room for my wide foot and fits perfectly over my "athletic" calves. I was even able to tuck my jeans into them which has been the main problem with other boots I've tried. So excited for this purchase!

Great Boots!

posted by: LCooper588 (Athens, Ga) posted on: Dec 26, 2009

These shoes are comfortable and gorgeous. I wore them brand new for about 10 hours straight, and had only minimal discomfort at the end of a shopping spree. SO wearable and nice. I usually wear a 7.5 in shoes, but had to go up to an 8 in these, but they fit really well everywhere else. In general, the quality of the boot is great, as well as the fit. A great look to tuck jeans into, or to wear with leggings and a dress/skirt.

Cute boot, good price!

posted by: noemi (Ann Arbor) posted on: Dec 24, 2009

I wanted to buy these boots for weeks before I finally decided to take the plunge. I'm 5'1ish and the shaft is pretty high on me but it still looks good. Cute shoes and a good deal for the price.

The leather scuffs kind of easily but it doesn't look bad, plus you can always polish the shoes. I like the adjustable strap on the top of the shaft. It is kind of hard to wear them with socks but I've mostly been wearing tights with them.

Ankle opening too wide

posted by: simipleshoes (atlanta) posted on: Dec 19, 2009

This book ran small, but also the boot shaft is large around the ankle, so it looks funny really loose there and then a bit tighter up higher. I had to tighten the buckle up top all the way, but it still was not as tight as I would like. I really wanted a low heal boot in this color, but I could not make this work.

As Expected

posted by: Ritzz (San Fernando, CA) posted on: Dec 19, 2009

These boots are VERY comfortable. Even after wearing them all day and walking around in them all day they did not make my feet hurt. They are pretty wide in the shaft area; jeans fit pretty well tucked in. Would probably be too wide on someone with thin calves, but on me they are perfect. The leather does scuff easily so you have to be careful with taking care of them. The color is exactly as it looks in the picture. I did not like that they are very slippery. You have to walk very carefully and that is why they did not get five stars.

Beautiful Boots!!!

posted by: mnf4ever (Los Angeles) posted on: Dec 19, 2009

I had originally ordered these in Cognac from Nordstrom, but then found out about endless.com's free overnight shipping PLUS they had a lower price through a code offer that Nordies refused to price match. May I add that the Intyces from Nordstrom (although they were the same size as the ones I ordered from endless) were too big around the ankle, making it look like a rainboot! I immediately returned. I will forever order my shoes from endless.com! Great service, and great product. The Intyces I received from them looked exactly like the picture and fit me like a dream...as if they were made for me!

Tight Fit

posted by: sheem (LA) posted on: Dec 17, 2009

I really love these shoes, but when they arrived and I tried them on with socks, I couldn't get my foot in near the ankle part.(I had bought my true size). When I finally did, they fit comfortably, but getting them off was a pain. I thought I was going to rip my ankle off! I don't really want to return them for another size, cuz they fit fine, but I just hope it stretches out so my foot can slide in easily.

great look but hurts

posted by: Charmaine Santos posted on: Dec 13, 2009

I love the way the boot looks but it hurts the top (knuckles) of my toes shortly after putting them on. Wearing thin socks doesn't help and I even ordered a half size larger as recommended. The boot has a distressed look and scuffs easily. I have thick calves and they fit easily into the shaft even with jeans. They hurt a lot but I like how they look so I'll keep wearing them :\

Great Boots!!

posted by: crazyforshoes posted on: Dec 12, 2009

I really like these boots. They were just what I was looking for, but the only problem is that the ankle part of the boot is really loose. It kind of makes your foot wobble all over the place in there. Otherwise great casual boot. Keeping them!!

Great Boots!

posted by: mkehl (Arvada, Co.) posted on: Dec 12, 2009

I love these boots. The leather is high quality and feels nice on the foot and calf. Because these boots are true to size, you may want to purchase a 1/2 size larger if you plan to wear socks with them. I don't plan on wearing thick socks, but maybe nylons or thin dress socks. They look really cute with leggings and skinny jeans. Very classy!!! A boot that can be timeless and not fade away with other trends.

love them!

posted by: shoesbagsobsessed posted on: Dec 9, 2009

I love these boots! I have wanted them for a while. I have a different brand of riding boots that i paid alot more for but they are not adjustable around the calf. I like this feature because it helps with keeping your jeans in place when they are tucked into the boot. I wore them out the first night i got them and had them on walking from bar to bar and did some dancing, I wore them for a total of 6 hours with no pain! FABULOUS!

tight fit

posted by: georgia peach (GA) posted on: Dec 7, 2009

The look of the boot is nice however I have slender feet I got this boot 1/2 size larger than what i usually wear and it was super snug hurt as soon as I put them on.... the heel hurt me as well not too comfortable overall...I have to return them.
I suggest go a whole size up that may help

Great boots!!!

posted by: Christine (New York City) posted on: Dec 7, 2009

I ordered the 7, which ran a little small and I was hardly able to get my foot in around the ankle part. I returned that pair and got the 7.5 and I'm happy. They're comfortable and stylish. I can't wait to wear them with more things! I might even need to splurge and get the cognac color as well.

ORDER HALF A SIZE UP!!!!

posted by: She (Rhode Island) posted on: Dec 2, 2009

I love these boots, they are adorable, and despite what everyone says, they do not look or feel cheap at all. They are well-made, which is what is expected from Steve Madden. However, they definitly run half a size small. I am usually a 9.5, and sometimes I wear a 9. I ordered a 9.5 and they are still quite snug in the toes. I hope they stretch because they are so cute!

Perfect boot, perfect price!

posted by: DallasShoeLover posted on: Dec 2, 2009

I have wanted this pair of boots for awhile and when the retailer sent me an email, it still wasn't a decent price. I searched online and found Endless.com - a SIGNIFICANT discount and free overnight shipping? The boot is perfect for skinny jeans and running errands or a casual dinner out. LOVE THEM and Endless.com!!!!

Yuck

posted by: JennHeartsBoots (Arkansas) posted on: Nov 29, 2009

This boot fits way too small and is very uncomfortable. The leather is a dark reddish brown and looks VERY cheap. This boot is way to expensive to look as cheap as it does. I ordered a boot that looks identical to this one from a retail store and the FAKE leather of it looks better than the REAL leather of this boot. I do NOT recommend it!!!!!!!!!!

Disappointment

posted by: ~Soul Diva~ (The E in PA) posted on: Nov 28, 2009

I'm a solid size 6.5, but this boot runs a half size small. My toes were bunched in front, with the top of the boot smashing down on them. The boot wasn't the quality I would have preferred, but for the price I would've lived with it if they had fit. I considered returning them for a 7, but then the shaft would have been much too wide for my leg, so I just returned them for a refund. I also wasn't crazy about the gold hardware, since most of my bags and belts are rustic or silver hardware.

super cute, but worried about how the leather will wear

posted by: kate (san francisco) posted on: Nov 28, 2009

i've been wearing these nonstop since they arived. the shaft fits perfectly, and i've gotten a ton of compliments on them. i have a few friends who own them and have found that the leather doesn't age well--it scuffs up pretty easily and shows wear. so far (a few weeks later) mine still look beautiful, but i do have that concern.

Great looking boot

posted by: Karen Luk posted on: Nov 28, 2009

The boot fits great and can be worn slouched down or pulled up. I do find that the leather has stretched out a bit.

It's a bit baggy at the ankle and if you have skinnier calves, this boot is probably not for you. This will definitely work for those with larger calves.

The pebbled leather can make the boot look more casual than other boots I've looked at but I still like the boot nonetheless. Very comfortable and looks great with leggings, jeans, skirts etc.

A MUST have!

posted by: target fan posted on: Nov 26, 2009

Wow! My first order with Endless.com and the shipping was super fast. So glad b/c I was able to wear my new boots today for Thanksgiving. They are super cute and stylish. I can see these being my staple boot through the winter season. I live in the South so these are perfect! I love the distressed look and I think the gold buckle looks great even if you wear mostly silver/white gold. Got lots of compliments. GET THESE! My regular size was out so I went up a 1/2 size. They are too big without socks, but with bulky tube socks they fit perfect. I will mostly wear them with tube socks b/c I like to tuck my skinny jeans in the sock.

BOOTiful!

posted by: lltwo (san francisco) posted on: Nov 23, 2009

This is a pretty nice boot. I purchased this boot a half size larger in the cognac color. I normally wear a 6.5 and i purchased this boot in a 7 and fits perfect! Although in retrospect, i should've gotten a 7.5 The ankle part of the boot is a little tight and hurts a bit when i wear them with my jeans tucked in. Overall, these boots are pretty comfortable and I'm thinking about getting these in black!

Better Leather Always Best!

posted by: shopaholic (NYC) posted on: Nov 22, 2009

I have these in both Cognac and now Black (thanks to Endless's AWESOME price and free shipping)...having bought these in Cognac, I should've known to buy a 1/2 size bigger...yes they will give bcs it's leather but why go through the torture if you don't have to...I ended up having my shoe man stretch them..but other than the lack of attention to my size - these boots ROCK! When buying boots or pumps~a size bigger or 1/2 always better!! Take my word! You won't regret buying these!!!

these boots are beyond perfect! i bought them in cognac (beautiful color) & am considering getting them in black as well. i wore them all day at work last friday, out that night & then shopping all day saturday with no pain at all. they are so comfortable! i bought my normal size 7 & they fit perfectly. the calves would probably be a bit wide for some people, but i think they're perfect. these look great with skinny jeans! buy them!

Cute!

posted by: ShoeFan (NYC) posted on: Nov 16, 2009

I really do like these boots, but after reading all the reviews I bought the boots a half of size bigger but I would not necessarily recommend. I think they are more true to size then some of the descriptions. Also if you do decide to get them a half of size bigger I would recommend buying inserts because the they do not have wonderful arch support but other than that they are adorable!!!

MUST HAVE BOOTS

posted by: shoe lover (Birmingham, AL USA) posted on: Nov 16, 2009

I LOOOOOOOOVVVEEEE these boots!!! my roommate and sister have already ordered a pair for themselves. this is by far the best price i have seen for them so definitely grabbed them as soon as i could! my calves are a bit thick, but these still fit on them (slightly snug, but works). i wear tights under them or just bare skin and each looks great with a dress. my sister who is thinner has worn them with jeans and a cute top and they are just awesome!!! these boots are so fabulous and i have gotten so many compliments. if you are debating about them, BUY!!!

Looks good but felt cheap

posted by: wwjd (CA, USA) posted on: Nov 16, 2009

The price at Endless is great especially with the free overnight shipping. I loved this boots when I saw it especially the color, but I didn't like the fit and it felt cheap to me. The ankle area kept bunching and it just didn't work out for me.

a bit off

posted by: KaliPorter (Omaha, NE) posted on: Nov 14, 2009

I thought it fit true to size and it was quite comfortable, but I returned them. The color was a bit too orange instead of tan and the quality of the leather wasn't what I expected. Also, and I should have noticed this before, the buckles are bright gold - which isn't really my style. The comfortable fit almost made up for the negative points.

I love these boots!

posted by: Brianna Neal posted on: Nov 14, 2009

I have been wanting these boots for two years, but I never broke down and bought them at Nordstrom because they were too expensive. So, when I saw the great sale at Endless.com, I finally made the purchase and I couldn't be happier.

Good for the money

posted by: ShoeShopper (NYC) posted on: Nov 14, 2009

The price was right on Endless.com, but I would not pay full price for this boot. I have had the boots for about two weeks now, and the boots already look worn. Steve Madden's quality is not that great, but the boots are cute and I have been getting a lot of compliments. I first ordered an 8.5, but had to exchange my boots for a 9 because the 8.5 was much to small. (I never a wear a size 9. 8.5 is my true size. I have very skinny legs and the boot shaft is quite wide, but i am okay with it since the boots are more casual. Also, be aware tht the boots do tend to slouch quite a bit after you wear them a few times.

I get so many compliments on these boots!

posted by: Fashionblondie (Chicago) posted on: Nov 14, 2009

I love these boots! They are perfect with skinny jeans or leggings. I was surprised at how nice the leather was when I got them. They look much more expensive than they are. Definitely recommend these boots.

great casual boot

posted by: estuare (Seattle) posted on: Nov 9, 2009

These boots are pretty much exactly what I expected. The micro-wedge is great - it gives you a little height, but it feels like you're wearing flats. I could walk in these boots all day. I think I could go out dancing in these boots. The buckle at the top of the shaft does allow for a bit of customization to the the calf width, which is great for those of us born with smaller or larger than "average" calves. I personally have a slightly wider calf and most boots don't fit me. These ones fit great with no stretching required; I could probably even wear them over jeans. Also, I live in Seattle and it has been really rainy here this week. I've worn these boots out in the rain several times and not only did my feet stay dry, but the leather didn't stain at all. My one critique is that the cognac colored leather is not as nice looking as I would ideally hope - it's a bit grainy - but overall, this is a great boot.

Adorable and comfortable

posted by: Hilary B (Cincinnati, OH) posted on: Nov 9, 2009

These boots are just as cute in person as they are online. They look great with skinny leg jeans. The only complaint I have is they are an inch or two below my knee, but that could just be me (I'm 5'8" if that helps). The wedge heel is great and comfortable.

Saggy ankles

posted by: target lover posted on: Nov 9, 2009

I have thin calves (13") and despite the fact that the shaft had a buckle at the top to adjust the boot opening, it was way too saggy in the ankle and just ended up bunching up and looking bad. With the buckle on the last hole, it made the shaft sort of puff out, since all that leather still needs to go somewhere. All in all, a disappointing look.

cute boots, funny fit

posted by: chicago posted on: Nov 9, 2009

I like these boots a lot, but the fit is a little funny. I ordered my regular size but received it and it was a little snug. I then ordered 1/2 size up and it was much too big. I decided to keep the smaller ones and hope they will stretch a little. I have worn them a few times and it seems to be working - they feel much better.

Just what I wanted

posted by: Jennn (Boston) posted on: Nov 9, 2009

I spent a lot of time looking for classy, but fun black riding boots. This was my third attempt at finding these boots and I'm very happy with them. I get lots of compliments and they're appropriate for work, casual weekends, and going out. They're very comfortable and go great with jeans as well as skirts and dresses. The buckle adjusts so tucking in pants is not a problem. The only issue I have is that there is absolutely no traction, but I've found that this is pretty much the case with most riding boots. Definitely worth the price and should last me a few good seasons if i treat them well!

little small, but they will stretch!

posted by: LABootLover (Los Angeles) posted on: Nov 8, 2009

At first try these boots felt way to small in botht the length and the width, but I risked it and wore them out anyway. Sure enough within a week they stretched and softened and they feel great now. The leather and color are both amazing and they are very comfortable once I broke them in.

Cuter in life than online!

posted by: Katiekicks posted on: Nov 3, 2009

I was so excited when I got these boots- they are so much cuter that they look online. I absolutely love them. Here's why I knock a star: 1)First day I wore the boot the little piece of leather that holds the buckle down broke. I didn't want to send the whole thing back, so I'm just taking them to a local shoe doctore. 2) They scuff super easy.
SO cute though!

Thank you Endless for the price!

posted by: Pokey (Michigan) posted on: Oct 24, 2009

I've been in love with these boots since I saw them on my cousin 2 years ago, but I was never willing to pay the $200 price tag. Thank goodness that endless had them on sale- definitely worth the $104. These boots are cute with skinny jeans or tights w/ a skirt or dress. It's the perfect "it" boot this season. The wedge makes it very comfortable. I'm usually a size 8, but I always order a 8.5 in boots for extra room and for thick socks. I have good size calves and these boots fit perfectly. I get tons of compliments and I love that I no longer have to look for cognac boots this season. Definitely worth the money!

Nice Basic Black Boots

posted by: LuvShooz (San Diego, Ca.) posted on: Oct 23, 2009

I originally bought these boots in cognac, but exchanged them for the blacks ones instead. The black ones are more versatile and look more "money" than the cognac. Some of my girlfriends have the cognac colored ones and I can tell you first hand that they all have scuff marks and scratches on their boots after just a few weeks of owning the boots. As for the fit, I usually wear a 7 or 7.5. I originally got these in a size 7, but I ended up exchanging for a 7.5 and it fits perfectly--since I like to wear socks. Also, the toe box is a bit narrow so I'd go up half a size just for that alone. For those that wonder if the ankle area slouches, it does slouch a bit. However, it's not sloppy slouchy. FYI... There is a buckle on the top of the boot that you can adjust. Since my calves are small, I have mine on the last hole to keep my boots up instead of sagging. It still does sag a bit around the ankle, but that's to be expected.
