Cute....when barely laced up. (PICTURES)
I usually never write reviews but I relied on reviews to purchase these shoes so I wanted to write one of my own.** I took the note about sizing into consideration and ordered a size up - I'm a 7.5 and ordered an 8.5. I probably could have gotten away with only going half a size up but I'm fine with a little room too for the most part.Good things first: I really love the look of these shoes. They're nice and slim but still have a hearty look to them. Of course the materials aren't as high-quality as the original Duck Boot from LL Bean, but they do a good enough job of representing a nice product. I also love that the toes are lined! My toes get so cold in the winter months (even in Texas) and I didn't find many knock off duck boot options with anything more than the exposed rubber, so these are awesome in that department. The laces and eyelets are also great! Often times, with cheaper boots, the eyelets are usually weak or misplaced, but I have no complaints here. There is little arch support but with ordering a size up, I could easily insert an insole to fix that. They're super cozy otherwise.Bad things: the bottoms of the shoes have been a little squeaky against most surfaces, which isn't a huge deal, but it is important to note. They're not completely flat either which is usually well known for these shoes, but something to keep in mind for those who are less steady on their feet. My biggest complaint and the reason for the 3-star-rating is buckling of the "leather." I like to lace my boots tight to both keep my pants tucked in, and also to keep them secure on my feet, but when tightly laced, the sides start to buckle. There seems to be too much fabric where the laces pull tighter together because even with a moderately tight lace, the sides touch. For one, this doesn't allow me to lace them as tight as I'd want, but it also causes the excess fabric to pinch outward. If you are okay with lacing them loosely (a slip on type of arrangement) then these would be okay, but I'm not 100% into that idea so I'm still deciding if I will even keep them at this point - I won't be wearing them during that decision period, don't worry.I attached photos of the "tight" lacing where the fabric folds, and the loose lacing option that works aesthetically.

Size: 11Color: BrownVerified Purchase
I normally wear a 10 and absolutely had to size up to an 11. The boots are comfortable and warm. I will say they are a little narrow so if your feet tend to be on the wider side you may find them uncomfortable. They were packaged great, no plastic smell, shipping was two days and the company emailed me to tell me when they had left the building.
