There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The zippers are sturdy. I compared them to the ones on the boots these replaced and they were about the same quality. Considering that the ones being replaced were three years old and the zippers were still as good as when I first purchased them, I have a lot more confidence in these. And I will admit that I was a little suspicious of the low price of these. Not to worry on that count.
Other reasons why I gave these five stars are the fit (a little tight on width at first, but they wore in quickly. The no-slip sections or the soles and heels are beautifully matched to the leather (or whatever that material is). Plus the heel material is nailed in as well as bonded. Both the insole and seat fit my heel perfectly, and the outer material looks and smells like leather.
Time will tell with respect to how long these will last, but as of now I am not only thrilled with the purchase, but still in disbelief that I got them for such a low price. If issues do arise I'll update this review accordingly. The bottom line is if you are suspicious of the low price, don't be. While they are not Bally, they are decent boots and surprisingly nice.
I was worried about the smell, but I have no idea what everyone is talking about. I had that new leather smell, and that was it.
I guess the only thing about the sub $100 shoes are that the front soles wear out very quickly. The entire bottom is rubber, with brown coloring in few places to make it look like leather, but it's not. It's not designed to be replaced either.
So, basically, when these things wear out, you have to throw it out and get a new shoes.
The problem with sub $200 shoes are it costs way too much for the bottom soles to be replaced.
The problem with sub $300 shoes are that you're spending way too much for a shoes that will cost you about $60 to $120 to replace, and you really have to make sure you get something classic that won't go out of style in two weeks.
The problem with anything above $500 shoes are this. You have too much money, and you should send me some money!
EDIT:
I bought a second set. I bought it just to have it. It's good. But here is my feedback from wearing it for a while.
Pro
1. I don't know about this smell deal, but mine arrived, it didn't smell
2. Leather is good.
3. Inside is very warm, even during 30 degree weather here
4. It looks good, and is very comfortable right off
5. Zipper worked flawlessly so far
6. Not too tight, not too loose. I can run in it, which is saying a lot about a zipper shoes.
Con
1. Cheap soles. This is something you can't get away from. Short of buying a $500 shoes and paying $100 to replace the sole, this works.
2. It's not very comfortable to walk on. It's due to the lack of inner cushion, but it's $50.
Something else to note, they're slippery. Fine for working in an office or something like that, but even on carpet i was slipping a bit. Took a week or so to get used to that.
*Update* I've since purchased these shoes again - twice. I really wore these shoes every day for about a year and eventually they became unwearable (water would seep in on rainy days, for example). The 2nd pair didn't hold up as well as the first. Eventually after only 6 months or so of regular wear they were completely destroyed. The leather was chipping away, the sole was literally cracked in half on the bottom and the upper leather part was also detaching from the sole. I eventually had to glue the upper leather portion back onto the sole with crazy glue until I could go shoe shopping. I eventually bought these again because i really couldn't find this style in the local shoe stores (DSW, Belk, JC Penny, ect.) and i really didn't want to go back to lace up oxfords or something. Also, the price is right on these. Other dress shoes i liked were in the $80-$120 range and I really hate spending that much on a single pair of shoes. So, i bought these again. I hope the 3rd time's the charm and these last a while.
