Promising review: "These shoes are PERFECT for vacation! I wore them to the rice paddies in Bali and they survived mud and rain! I came in, rinsed them off with water, and they looked brand new. I'd recommend these to anyone traveling and doing a lot of activity. Warning: they are a little tight on the heel, so maybe go up a size." —ElleGee47

Promising review: "These are SO warm. I have not had any problems yet in the early stages of Chicago winter. Surprisingly, I feel okay wearing these out when it’s icy as well. Their tread is better than expected. It’s too bad they are not waterproof, but you can always supplement with your own spray or coating. I prefer wearing them with socks." —Priyanka P.

Promising review: "I ordered half a size up as most reviewers recommended. I would suggest this as well; they're a little big on me, but they're very comfortable and so cute. I wore them with jeans and got so many compliments. I plan on wearing them for New Year's. They're versatile, stylish, and can be dressed up or down. I wore them for about six hours and my feet felt great." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I got these boots four years ago and being from Texas I didn't think I'd have much need for a winter boot, but boy was I wrong. I have a pair of rain boots that cost a pretty penny that have sat in the back of my closet since I got these. They are perfect for the rain, snow, or cold. The leather upper has started to wear beautifully and I can say that without a doubt, these will be my go-to boots for the rest of my life." —TheTexan

Promising review: "I've been wearing these as my black dress shoes for almost a year. These have seen business meetings, the dance floor, snow, rain, broken glass, and just about any condition short of mountain hiking. They've held up very well and still look new after a polishing. Scuffs buff out very easily and the shoe doesn't have any creases from where my toe bends. It's a very high quality shoe." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love these boots! They are super comfy, the leather is soft and smooth, and they keep their form. I love them with dresses and I can fit a skinny jean in them perfectly. They do run a little big, I would order either your normal size or maybe a half size down, definitely don't size up for these ones." —Savannah L

Promising review: "I am so excited. I've been on the hunt for a pair of work appropriate sandals with a chunky heel because they are so much easier to walk in. As soon as I slipped the shoes on I knew the price was worth it. They are comfy and beyond well made. The suede is butter soft. I can tell the strap across the toe should not blister or bother me." —UAstudentn

Promising review: "I love them! The quality is great. They're very sturdy; I'd say a bit heavy, but not ridiculously so. I typically wear a 7.5 and got the 8. They're slightly bigger than expected, but not so much so that they're uncomfortable or cumbersome. They're actually really comfortable. The strap does well to keep your foot in place. They're the type of shoe that needs to be broken in, but doesn't take long to do so. These are obviously going to last a really long time." —Adrienne

Promising review: "I love these boots. I deliver packages for Amazon on the weekends and work 10–12 hour days. It's been a rainy, snowy, and cold mess last few weeks.

Promising review: "I have been wearing Birkenstock Arizona sandals for about 18 years. These are as delightful as any that have come before them.

Promising review: "I bought the gold pair as I wanted a little sparkle this holiday season and I can’t wear most of my heels pregnant.

Promising review: "These are cute boots and the western details make them stand out. The leather seems like good quality. They are very comfy in the foot bed and the heel height is perfect. I was a little concerned about the opening though – the zipper is very stiff and the opening was kind of tight on my lower calf. But, I'm glad to say that I wore them today with thick tights and they are just right. I can't feel the stiff zipper at all." —Librarie

Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews, but I am so happy with this product and my experience! I was unsure of the quality I would receive, but the pictures don't do them justice. These shoes are amazing and the quality is much better than expected. They are comfortable and didn't need any breaking in. I've received so many compliments (six in one day) from friends and strangers alike. One friend said 'They are so beautiful I just can't take my eyes off of them!' and a stranger whispered to her friend how beautiful my shoes were — I was lucky enough to hear! I am very pleased with this purchase and would absolutely buy from this seller again!" —Rachel Goldstein
