I am pleased with my recent purchase --it is true to size--the quality of leather is soft--the sole is leather --just a greatly crafted boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful boots
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2016

I ordered 9 1/2 W (in black) to be able to wear with medium-weight socks and to be sure they were comfortable. Perfect. The leather is supple and of excellent quality, but the best thing is (and also why I ordered): I can stuff jeans (and not skinny jeans or tights) into them with very little bulge at the knee. The reason is that the boots are constructed to rise straight up from the ankle, instead of being curved in or form-fitting at the ankle; this allows the jeans to stay down at the ankle when zipped in, instead of being bunched up above the ankle (and thus up the leg to the knee) if the boot ankle fitted tightly. The boots are also tall, hitting me just below the knee (I'm 5'7" barefoot), so this "hides" some of the jeans bulge. The boot circumference is wide enough to accommodate the jeans fabric, and the small elastic gores at the top (almost unnoticeable) both grip the jeans fabric and allow the boot to expand to accommodate it. Zipping up the back instead of the side also allows a much more comfortable fold of the jeans inside the boot. The only possible downside (at least for me) is that the boots are hard soled instead of crepe or rubber soled, but I don't really mind this. Heel is a reasonable height (about 1 1/4") to be able to walk all day. They need a little breaking in at the ankle above the foot form construction, particularly at the zipper in back, since a little stiff and rubs, but this will be accomplished. I've looked everywhere for a combination of quality leather, attractive style, reasonable price, wider width, large-enough size, and enough circumference for jeans. These are all that.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little loose, but Awesome, Sexy boots!
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2015

I actually ordered four different boots from Amazon prime to try, and I choose these boots over the other three. I like the tall shaft for my long legs and the cognac color is exactly what I wanted. These boots look sexy with jeans or skirts/dresses. They do feel a little bigger than a few of the other narrow boots I tried, however, I intended to use orthotic inserts before I even purchased any boots. With the orthotics, these boots fit me nicely, however, without the orthotics, they felt a little wider and looser than I would have liked. I technically have a super-slim foot (AAA), so if you have a regular narrow foot, these might work perfectly for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great looking boot ! Zipper at heel , not so great.

I have about 10 pair of Bella Vita shoes they make great quality comfortable shoes and I am never disappointed. These boots are gorgeous. Obvious quality in every detail, great leather and no sloppy stitching. I never really thought my calves were fat , but I guess they are , because many of the boots I wear are just too tight once I zip them up. These were no issue , just right. Wore these boots for the first time standing and walking all day long. No problems with comfort and my feet did not even bother me by end of day. My one compliant is the zipper in the back. OMG , who would design a zipper that goes clear down the heel of a boot? No reason I can see for them to have done this . The zipper is incredibly hard to zip. I had to wax the zipper and get my husband to zip them for me. He had to use pliers to get the zipper over the heel to finish zipping them up. Once you get the zipper over the heel area your good . I have worn these about 5 times and it still takes getting my husband to help get the zipper over the heel. I hope that will loosen up over time. You can not take them off without taking the zipper clear down to heel, leaving no way to avoid this next time you wear them. The other issue with the zipper at the back of the heel is your sock gets caught in it , then you have to spend time trying to get it un stuck! Why did I keep these boots? Because they are gorgeous, I am going to live with needing help with the zipper. I can tell you this, you need to take a candle and wax the zipper as soon as you get them! As far as how they look ...like a very expensive pair of boots , and super comfy! If you can live with zipper issue get them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Stylish and Comfortable Boot

Love these boots!

I've had them about a month and waited before writing the review.

They are stylish and people always comment on how cute they are. They are snug on my calves, but not overly tight. Love how soft the leather is.

The only thing I've noticed is because the soles are not rubber (like my last boots) they click when you walk and they have already started to wear down a little where my foot strikes oddly on the ground. I would assume after this winter I will need to take them to a cobbler, worth it for the quality!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice boot, poor return service!
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017

Would have given the boot great rating. It was well made. The description of 9W was not clear. Usually this means the foot area is wider. I did NOT order wide width calf area boot. They are usually listed on boot description. There was NO measurement of calf in the boot description. My calf is normal-14" circumference. This boot calf area fit like I was wearing rain boots, over 16" calf measurement. But is good leather & I would like to reorder in correct size, but I have been waiting for a refund several weeks now. Winter will be over before I get the credit. I have made 2 phone calls to Shoebuy. First woman I spoke to said she would take care of return. I gave her the order number. No refund. Week and half later, I spoke to man who said they are working on refund and that they had received the return, but it takes 3-4 more days! They still haven't notified Amazon. Hate to write a bad review......Help!

These boots are made from buttery rich leather. They are well made and look wonderful. You just want to pet them. Unfortunately for me, these boots were too deep in the arch for my flat foot and I had to return them. The width was great for my narrow foot, they were just too deep. I really, really wanted to keep them because they are fabulous boots.

These boots are just what I was looking for! I really like them. They fit me true to size & width. They are a bit larger in the calf area than I expected, but that's ok. I'm very happy with the quality of these leather boots. I expect them to last for years.
