Stylish boots...still slightly too small

Rating:****
I usually wear 8.5-9 M and per the recommendation to buy 1/2 size up, purchased a 9.5. Overall, they fit but weren't the immediately comfortable boots that I had hoped for. There are a few areas that will require a bit of stretching. The calves are a bit tight. They have gores that allow a bit of stretch to the calves so I could fully zip the but it's still tight. I expect this should loosen with wear. I also have a hot spot on my right heel. Not sure why as it's not a problem on my left heel....it might just be my feet. Although it feels as if my toes have plenty of space, I don't quite feel that the balls of my feet are fully planted in the shoe when I step. This might be because I have a high instep. In any case, they look really nice and are really well constructed. I'm hoping they will be more comfortable with a litte breaking-in.

Beautiful boot

Rating:****
Normally I only buy shoes in which I could walk several miles. I make an exception for these boots because they are waterproof, and beautiful in silhouette, and I am weak. I will wear them with padded wool or Coolmax running socks as the footbed is very hard. Owing to the long, narrow toe, I ordered them in an 8.5 instead of the usual 7M. (Thanks to previous shoppers for suggesting this.) They don't seem to pinch and the footfall feels stable. I just hope I don't end up with shin splints from the impact on concrete. For those endowed with muscular calves, the secret to getting this boot on is to pull the shaft down a bit so it bunches over the ankle. A slouchier look but it works.

Nice boots

Rating:*****
I have issues with most boots: I have a 15 inch calf...and some boots I can zip up, and some I cant: these I couldnt. The leather is great on these boots: and they are well insulated. Even with the heel: they felt very comfortable, and very stable. I wanted these as a substitute for regular rain boots for when I wanted to look cute in the city. I thought they looked better in person than in the pictures. I was unable to zip them past the 3/4th the way mark. Because of the padded insulation: I am not sure if these are really "stretchable". I would buy a Blondo product again.

Stylish but more practical

Rating:****
These are very nice dress boots, but also very warm and practical. They are more difficult to get into, and can only be worn with the thinnest of socks or nylons, as they are very snug in the foot. They were marked as running small, so I bought 1/2 size larger, which was very necessary. I have narrow feet, so they fit me well but would not fit someone with wide feet. They are so snug that I did get a blister the first time I wore them. I believe that they will stretch and loosen up with time.

Narrow, runs small.

Rating:****
I tried ordering a half size up from what I normally wear, but the boot was so narrow I could not get it on my foot. So I ordered a full size up from that (so, 1.5 size up from normal). The new size fits fine with socks the thickness of tights. Aside from the sizing issue, I love the boots. They are simple and stylish and you can tell they are well-made. They're a bit stiff, but I'm sure they will break in eventually.

Love them!

Rating:*****
I wore these for a walk to the grocery store (one mile, round trip) the hour I got them. I don't wear a lot of heels, but these were wide and stable, and still cute! The leather is substantial. I walked through snowy grass and the waterproofing works. They zip over my calves, which some boot don't. I ordered a half size up as recommended and still had just enough room for my warm socks.

Great boots!

Rating:*****
I just received these boots and have worn them twice, once at work and once in a casual atmosphere. Both times, I wore them all day. I was amazed how comfortable they are. I received many compliments and inquiries on where I got them. I read that they run small, so I ordered a size up and they fit perfectly!

lovely, basic boot

Rating:****
Do follow the half size larger recommendation. The calves of the boots are a little bit snug for me, but I hope some leather stretcher will adjust that. My calves are more muscular than most women. The foot part is perfect with the half size larger. I like the wide toe. These are well made boots, and fairly comfortable.

Beautiful Boot

Rating:****
These were so beautiful and well made. But I think they run a full size small.They are tight in the instep and hard to get foot into, and way too narrow. I usually wear a 6-6.5 and wound up with a 7.5 that fit really well. But they are gorgeous!

The Fashionable Winter Boot

Rating:****
When purchasing this boot make sure to go a half size up. I have narrow feet and this boot in a regular width works well. This boot seems very durable. It is fashionable yet seems like it will hold up well during tough Northeast Ohio winters.

Negative Reviews:

Not satisfied - I am returning the boots

Rating:**
I should have paid more attention to the reviews stating buying a full size larger was best. I ordered a half-size larger and I have a fairly narrow foot, but the boots were still too tight. The heel was so stiff that just getting into them was a challenge. They were of a lesser quality than the last pair of water-proof leather boots I purchased in the same price range.

Disappointing

Rating:*
I bought these a 1/2 size larger than I wear. They were at least an additional 1 size too small and narrow. No properly sized. At the same time, from a competitor I bought a pair of Frye boots my regular size. They are a little roomy and feel like a dream.

Sadly, quality boot's cut incorrect

Rating:*
These boots display good workmanship, quality and styling, HOWEVER, their cut is way way too small. I normally wear a 7.5 shoe. I ordered size 8.5 boot. The fit was so snug, I had to return them. Too bad. They would be perfect if the manufacturer would size them properly.

Very disappointed customer

Rating:*
I ordered these boots 1/2 size larger only to find that my foot would not even go into the boot. [...] I will try to find something else [...] Very disappointed with sizing chart.

Very Narrow

Rating:*
Not great to look at but needed a serviceable boot for rainy weather - ordered 1/2 size bigger as noted, but so narrow I couldn't get my foot into it at all.

Snug Fit

Rating:***
These boots are beautiful, but you have to have VERY skinny feet. I am 5'2 and 110lb. I never thought I had wide feet, but these boots are very snug. Ordering a size larger will not help with the width. I had to return them.
sassygirl at Sierra Trading Post on 12/26/2008

No thanks

Rating:***
These boots were so small I couldn't even get them on--very plain, too. I opted for a different boot with lower heel and more details.

Decent Boot

Rating:***
These boots are plenty stylish, but not the noted width either in the foot or calf. Good quality leather but poor fit, returned them.
