Customer Reviews
Not Bottega Veneta but.....
I wanted a nice pair of boots that could be worn to work and still look professional, with more of a riding look than pirate or elf.
My heart was set on the fantastic Bottega Veneta riding boots Gwyneth Paltrow gets to wear as a part of her "uniform",[...] but paying $1100 was just...fantasyland.
So these little boots are the stand-in and they try hard. Not the best leather, true. Wipe them down with some KIWI Express Shine and the leather looks a bit more expensive.
Excellent fit and comfort though. I wear them without socks and they're so comfy, I wish I could wear them everyday. (Note to self: buy more dresses for these boots so I can wear them everyday). No ugly zipper either.
Probably the best feature besides comfort, is the height. These boots reach nearly to the knee, instead of stopping mid-calf like so many others and making the leg look stumpy. These are much more flattering and lengthen the silhouette.
I do wish they came in a heavier leather (they'd be absolutely perfect then) but for 100 bucks, they work, and quite nicely at that.
Soft and comfortable
These boots are amazing. Stylish and easy to pull on. The leather is incredibly soft and can be pushed down to make a shorter version. I'm so happy I found these and would definitely recommend them. Also, have had complements galore.
As Comfortable as Slippers!!! And Gorgeous
OVERALL: If you want gorgeous, comfortable boots at a good price, THESE BOOTS ARE SUPER GREAT!
COMFORT: These are as comfortable as slippers! How many boots can you say that about?
SIZING: I was anxious about buying online, since you can't try these on first, but they have a lot of room for the toes. I wear a size 8, though my problem is that sometimes an 8 is too tight in the toes and if I go up a half size, they slip on the heel. But THESE BOOTS ARE THE PERFECT FIT! I ordered my normal size 8. The boots are really comfy in the toes, but don't slip on the heel. I can wiggle my toes in these! (But they look nice and narrow from the outside.)
LENGTH: If you want really long boots over your knees, these probably aren't for you. I am 5'4" and they come just below my knee. They are the perfect length for me, however, since I can wear any skirt with them. My last pair of black boots came up just over my calf, and that limited me to a longer skirt to cover them.
CALF ROOM: They have LOTS of room in the calf, and also have an elastic wedge in the back.
LEATHER: They are very soft, and look like good leather boots. They look like a boot I would buy at Nordstrom, but are a lot better deal for the $.
THANKS FELLOW AMAZON REVIEWERS! Reading all of the boot reviews helped me narrow my purchase to these winners. People who take the time to tell us of their experience (good, bad, and ugly) with Amazon products have great karma! So I am here to return the favor with my thoughts for you on my new gorgeous boots!
