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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 :\

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

I tried both colors on and I really like the look of the cognac. I was looking for a somewhat rugged looking rider boot and the texture of the leather shows up much better on the cognac than the black. The black may be more versatile but I don't think they look as special.

I was hoping to receive these boots and fall in love with the perfect high, black leather slip-on, wear with jeans or a skirt boot, but I was a little disappointed when I got them.
The toe was rounder than what the photo shows, and the quality was not up to par. For the price, I suppose I should have expected less, but I was giving Steve Madden the benefit of the doubt on this one. I sent them back, and will continue my search...

The boots were great although I usually wear an 8 1/2 and these were super narrow and tight so I sent them back for a 9 and I LOVE them, they go with everything and are super comfy. I would however order a half size up to ensure a good fit.

These shoes are great for the style, price, and fit. I have been looking for affordable, good quality, low wedge boots for a long time, so I was ecstatic when I found these! They fit really well, and I like the adjustable buckle on the sides which allows them to be flexible for different calf sizes. My only gripe is that sometimes they hurt the tops of my toes when I'm walking for longer periods of time, but overall, they are very comfortable.

I finally bought these boots in tan color after obsessing over them for a long time. Like most Steve Madden shoes, I had to order 1/2 size up, which wasn't surprising since I already know that SM shoes tend to run small. They fit very comfortably. Easy to put on, despite the lack of zipper. I wore them with my skinny jeans tucked in, and they are super comfy and look very stylish. People on the street asked me where I've gotten them several times. I walked around in them, and my feet only start hurting toward the very end of the day (probably after 6 hours of walking around!!). Love them!!

I don't think i would be able to wear these boots next year. Don't buy these boots for 200 dollers,,but since they have them on sale on this site............GO FOR IT

I recieved these shoes yesterday and was completly excited. I opened the box and they looked really cute. However, when I tried them on, I was extremly dissappointed. The leather is not very good quality and was very stiff around the ankle. When I walk in them, the leather bends at my ankle causing it to hurt. Not to mention, they are just not comfortable period. I am sad I have to return them. I suggest going to the Steve Madden store and trying them on BEFORE you buy so you wont be upset

Im not quite sure why people are giving these boots negative marks because they are fabulous. I read many people complaining that they slouch. Well...I am able to wear mine either straight up or wear them slouchy. Im not sure why other people are having problems with figuring this out. There is a buckle on the side so you can adjust to make them fitted or slouchy. I get compliments from these boots EVERY time I wear them. They are worth the price. My leather looks great and I've had them for months. They don't look cheap and both the black and the cognac are the perfect shade. I originally bought the boot by Loeffler Randall which are twice as much. I ended up returning them after I tried these on. I thought these were more comfortable, 1/2 the price and IDENTICAL to the originals. LOVE THEM! If I were you I would get them in both colors since they are on sale!

I have a pair of riding boots and those are much more stiff and are higher. These boots are a bit more slouchy and i dont think they looked like riding boots. i actually got them at a discount store and paid half the price. i didnt buy them as riding boots so maybe that is why i am so happy with them.

I agree with the previous reviewer. These boots are nice but definitely not worth the price. I bought the cognac leather and they are a lot more orange than I expected and the quality of the leather is really poor considering the very high price! They are also very loose and droopy looking around the ankle area. Not reccomended if you ask me but if they are 50 to 60% off then go for it anything more than that is just not worth the $.

I think this boot is nice, but a bit expensive. I tried the cognac color and didn't like the leather. I ordered the grey suede and at first it seemed to have discoloration issues but it might be the way the suede is brushed. I will have to play with it. I think it's best to wait until these go on sale as I am sure they will.
