“I really like these but a few things to be aware of. People with large/muscular legs (like me), be aware- where the top of the boot sits on the thigh can cause your quads to create a "rollover" effect if laced too tightly at the top. The material does have a fair bit of shine. Despite having a zipper, if you want to wear these fitted, be aware that you may have to loosen the laces, put the shoe on, zip it up, and then retighten the laces or they'll be a bit slouchy. The laces themselves are rough and irritating on the fingers, so I wouldn't wear these anywhere I'd have to take on and off again. The sizing may seem too big until you lace them up to fit your leg/ankle. I'm an Aus women's 7 and the 8 is mostly a good fit (teensy bit big on one foot but fits perfectly on the other). Shipping was fast. Overall, these shoes are cuter in person- photos dont quite do them justice. They're not overly flattering but not unflattering either.”
