Side by Side Comparison of: Twisted vs Madden Girl

Perfect! I love these boots. Some complain they are slippery on the bottom, but mine have plenty of traction. They are the perfect color and go with any thing ... and with any color outfit. I'm 5'10" and these hit just a few inches under my knee. I have fairly muscular calves and these fit fine. Not to big around the calf and not too small.

My daughter loved them

I love these boots, they did run a bit small for a size 7, but nothing that I can't live with and allow to stretch.

She loved them.

Love these shoes! The price was right for me and I love wearing them. I haven't sprayed them to be waterproof yet, so we'll see if that helps. I do not suggest wearing them if you're going to be outside with heavy rain.

love these boots but they are a bit darker then expected but the color is so beautiful :)

Excellent buy! I couldn't get over how cute they were when they first arrived! I have actually had these for a few months now and have had no problems with them. I had read reviews about the zippers breaking if you zip all the way down so I have avoided doing that and they are still holding up well. I wear them almost everyday because they are so comfortable. I also like how they are loose enough around the calves but at the same time they don't have big gaps in between your calves and the sides of the boots. I got them in black and have absolutely no complaints on them.

I think these boots really worth the money. I ordered half size up and they fit well. Since they are a little bigger than my usual size, they would not rub my heel much. The toe area is narrow, so a little bigger definitely is more comfortable. The shaft of the boots are roomy for me, because I have thin calves. The boots are tall for me. I walked whole day today, I felt these boots are very comfortable and warm. Overall, this is a great shopping experience.

I ordered these boots as a gift for my sister and for my mother in law. They were actually stolen off of my porch in the first order but were promptly replaced at no charge to me. They are gorgeous boots, and I know both ladies will be super happy with them. I also already have a pair for myself that I bought at Journey's, but I paid more so I'm very happy with this purchase.

Love these boots! I have athletic calves and have had a hard time finding boots that zip all the way. These were hard at first, but with a little help from my husband we got them zipped. After wearing them for a couple hours, the boots stretched a bit allowing me to easily zip them up without squeezing or discomfort. On top of all that they are very cute boots and seem like them will hold up well. Definitely recommend :)

I've ordered Madden girl boots before and I absolutely loved them! I recently ordered this pair thinking I would have no issues. However these boots ran way too small. I could barely get them on and then I could barely get them to zip! I order a size 7 and that is the size I always ordered with no problems. The boots themselves are beautiful and I'm sad I could not wear them as soon as I got them. If they had for I would give them 5 stars! I am going to order a larger size.** Update: After I sent them back, I ordered the next size up and they fit perfect. I get so many compliments on them!

My boots were delivered yesterday, and I love them! They are true to the picture, and the cognac colour is as shown. I'm 5'1" and the boots come just under my knee. The zipper on the back seems to work smoothly and the buckles are well attached. The quality of the material seems good right off the bat - but I don't plan to wear these once it starts to snow heavily, since they likely wouldn't stand up well to salt. The widest part of my calf is about 13", and there's room for me to tuck in pants/jeans and knee high socks. With the lovely Canadian weather, I tend to wear out a pair of riding boots every year - so for the price, these are absolutely perfect.A few things to keep in mind about these boots:- The sole does scuff fairly easily. I tend to hit my other foot a lot when walking, so the sole does mark up the foot of the boot. It was fairly easy to clean this off with a cloth.- The zipper doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the heel, so sliding your foot in will require a bit of a tug. I don't see this as a problem, since it will keep the heel from deteriorating quickly. I've had other boots where the zipper went down all the way to the bottom, and they only lasted about a month before the zipper started to split.- Despite other reviews saying these ran small, I went out on a limb and ordered my usual size which is a 7 (I'd say I'm on the smaller side of a 7, and can sometimes wear a 6.5). If I'm wearing thin socks my foot slides around a bit. With thick socks, they'll be perfectly. The back of the boot doesn't rub against my heel, so it's fairly safe to say that I will be avoiding any dreaded blisters.

Nice boots.. haven't worn them yet but looking forward for the fall...

The size is right but the top (toes) feel a little tighter than the usual boot

Fit true to size and look great for the price good boots after I wear them for a while will update my reciew.

Nice boot -I wear 9 but these are a bit snug with warmSocks. Comfortable

Very cute! The're slightly narrow fitting so it took a little bit of breaking in for them to be comfortable.

Lovee these boots only complaint, I had to do was squish the back so the ankle supports were not pushing on my ankles. After I did that they fit wonderful. I wear them all the time, so comfy.

Great boots, I use them for rainy days since its a fake leather. Look great w leggings/ skinny jeans. Love the color too its like a mushroom color. nice neutral.

For the most part I love these boots. I do have wider calves and at first they are EXTREMELY tight and almost seem impossible to get zipped up. I also noticed that the heel of the boot is really narrow and tight and I could hardly get my foot it. At first I thought I must have ordered the wrong size, but I was able to get my foot in it actually slips around in the boot with plenty of room. After wearing them a couple hours the calves did stretch and they aren't uncomfortable anymore. I think they just need to be broke in. They are super cute though.

Beautiful boots, but too small for me and I got a size bigger than normal. However, my girls had no problem taking them off my hands though..lol

These boots are perfect for normal size legs. They're smaller in circumference than the Same brand Cactus Style boots. Also look real in comparison than that style. I would give 5 stars if they were real otherwise they are beautiful boots. Very nice! Hope they hold up and no zipper problems like so many of these large brass zipper boots on all sites. Hasn't to do with brand or seller as much as zipper manufacturer. We'll see. Seems zipper warranty is needed well into 6 months or more. The rest of those boots seem to hold up. Pleather, sole, liner, etc.

The boots are amazing. Very cute. It is a bit hard to get your foot in. Must wear thin socks. I never have gotten blisters from wearing them like others have said. They are a bit narrow. I haven't worked them in yet but so far I still like them. The shaft is also a little stiff so it is slightly awkward to walk in. The shaft is also more tight than I usually prefer. Must wear skinny jeans or leggings. No room to tuck straight-leg jeans. But for the price.... definitely amazing. They are just over $100 at the outlets and $80 on DSW.

For someone with thinner calves the fit of the boots tend to run a little large. However, with thick socks this problem is easily solved. Also, the quilting looks even better in person!

Here's the thing. I ordered size 9 and it was too small. I ordered a size 10 and got a box that said 10 but in it we're 11. I'm including pictures. I love the boots but I did wear them before I looked at the size. I take responsibility for that. But, this is the 3rd time trying I honestly think I deserve a break on the price here.

I really like these boots - they fit nice, they're comfortable and cute - and I wish I could give them 5 stars, but they started falling apart after 2-3 months. The rubber bottom is pulling away from the boot. I'm only wearing them to my office job and take good care of my shoes, so it was a big disappointment that they aren't made better.

These boots are very cute, but they were too small! I could fit them on but I can't walk around without a lot of pain in my feet! Usually the next size up is too big so I'm debating whether I should just return these or order a size up.

These boots are cute, but have a very narrow leg. I can barely zip them up. There is absolutely no give to the material and the second "zipper" is just for looks.

They are cute! but they leave black marks EVERY WHERE!!! even just lightly walking i have founf black marks all over my home and work space. They are a little snug so i would order up, they also seem to rub a little funny on my outside ankles.

Quality wasn't very good but for the price, I wasn't surprised. Ordered a women's 11 but they were more like a 9.5. Had to return them. Easy to return though and I was refunded the day it was scanned by ups! Great customer service!

I want to give this boot a 5 star but its not wide-calf at all, as i have pretty wide calves and i cannot zip this up at all :(

I loved these boots while they lasted. I wore them all the time and they fit great. I have wider calves and they easily zipped up. They are super cute and look like they are more expensive than they cost. However, a small tab of the zipper detached somehow on each boot near the heel. For awhile, I would just reattach the zipper a little higher up from where the zipper detached, but there was a small hole then that showed my socks. The zipper is not great quality and I don't get why Madden Girl continues to use this bulky zipper design, as there are others that look much nicer.

These boots are super cute, but unfortunately I had to return them because they were a little narrow and too snug in the calf. I work out regularly, so maybe I have somewhat muscular calves, but I don't think they are THAT big...? I think for someone with skinny legs these would be great, but someone with average to muscular calves these won't fit right. Especially if you're like me and like to wear leg warmers sticking out of the tops of your boots. Super cute though!

Overall - good quality for the price. They look nice and I've gotten a lot of compliments on them. I love the zipper on the back. However, they are a little tough to get on my feet. I really have to shove my foot in there! I'm normally an 8 and the 8.5 are a little snug, even with thin socks on. I would recommend but definitely order at least a half size bigger than you normally would.

The shaft of these boots is sooooo small. I buy Madden Girl boots all the time and I had to have my fiance help me zip them up. I know my legs are a little muscular but this was crazy. Also, the zipper was so stiff and difficult to use we almost broke it off the first time I put them on. Luckily they have stretched a bit but I did also take a hair dryer to them to help a little.

The boots are BEAUTIFUL. I love the style and design. They also feel like quality and sturdy leather. I was so disappointed in the sizing. I wear a size 8.5 and these boots cut off circulation in my toes.

Too small around the calves. Otherwise very cute shoe.

Really love these boots, had since November, but now the sole is broken and split. I was ready to buy again, but now this happened. They are nice but wouldnt recommend if you plan to wear a good amount of times.

Heel is made of weird rubber-like and split almost immediately after wearing. Seems cheaply made.

Definitely too small and uncomfortable.

Too tight around the ankles.

When the boots first came I absolutely loved them but as I tried them out the part below the zipper that covers your heel started to bend in and became extremely painful to walk in. As it kept bending in the back of my foot started to blister and caused bleeding. It is very uncomfortable to wear no matter what I tried to do to make them work. I love the style and it fit perfect but that was my only problem and couldn't stand to wear them anymore. I hope other get a better result.

I've bought many Madden shoes for many years, and this is the first time I've been disappointed! I ordered a size 8 (M) like I always wear in Madden, but it just was not the same as their normal fit. The zipper was a bit stiff and I had to wiggle a bit to get my heel in, both of which issues I could have lived with, but it was too narrow and squished my toes. I sadly had to return them. I did not size up because I felt a size 8.5 would be too long. I still give them 2 stars because the boots were absolutely adorable. If you have narrow feet and wear thin socks these boots will probably work for you, but if you have normal or wide feet, or like wearing normal cotton or thicker winter socks like I do, keep shopping.

I loved them at first. They were comfortable, very nice looking boots. But they don't last long. Unlike most of the people who bought these, I actually rode horses in them. I didn't use them but twice a week for an hour or so. Within 2 months the zipper started getting stuck, and then they ripped. Actually ripped at the heel below the zipper, which caused the zipper to fall off. So I was left with a gaping hole where the heel meets the zipper! I patched them up so they would last until I was able to get new riding boots. From all the pulling and pushing you have to do to get these on, they will tear up in no time.

Very uncomfortable when I first started wearing these as the zipper is on the back and digs into the back of your ankle. They are also pretty difficult to get on and zip up because they are so tight. Now, 3 months after wearing these, the zipper is no longer aligned meaning they will not completely zip. They are coming apart at the seams which probably caused the zipper to become unaligned.

I was really excited to get these boots but the zipper stops around the ankle so it was really really hard to get my foot into the shoe. Once I had them on they rubbed the back of my feet so much it bled!! I had to sent them back.

These are super super super cute! I got an 8.5 and I usually wear a 9 in regular shoes but I always go smaller for boots because they stretch. I had such a HARD time even pulling down the zippers. The zipper just wouldn't budge. After about 6 tries it finally moved and I attempted to put my foot in. The zipper ends just before the heel so i had to use all my strength to put these on. I thought they just needed to be worn in but it's been a week and they still are a pain even to put on. Also, when I walk around in them, the back of my ankles get blisters. Not fun. It's a shame because they weren't badly priced and I think they're very stylish. Not worth the pain though... find a boot with better zipper placement!

Fell apart within the first month!

Foot length is ok but if your calves aren't teeny tiny then they're not going to fit. Couldn't zip them up. Also no traction on the bottom.

These fit about a size too small, disappointing as I liked the boot

The boots were a good price, and very cute, I got lots of compliments on them. Unfortunate the heels split and eventually completely broke down on both shoes. So much so they were completely unwearable by December. I'm not a big person, and they were mostly worn to work. There is no reason they shouldn't have lasted much longer. I would never buy this product again.

Had to return these. Small and narrow. Also-- just seemed cheap looking. But mainly was just a sizing issue.

These boots are pretty nice looking, but I had them for a month and the bottoms are broken and falling apart. Not worth the price for the quality.

The right boot is defective. It hurt the back of my heel just below the zipper. I soldiered on, though, still wearing them. Now, a week and a half past the return policy, the zipper is broken. The right side of the zipper has detached from the pull. I'll still see if I can get my money back. Wish I had returned them upon first trying them on and feeling the pain!

I love the look of these, however I cannot wear them without getting blisters on the back of my ankle from the sipper. I have tried everything from wearing thicker socks, to tucking my pants down to cover the area that it rubs. but to no avail they hurt, just sit in my closet and makes me sad.

The very first time I tried these on, I couldn't even get my foot in there let alone get the boots zipped! The sizes are not accurate. I returned them right away and I will not be buying these again.

Such a disappointing Amazon order. I was very excited to wear my Calinda boots when they arrived but was severely disappointed to discover the boots were not true to size or color. I ordered the boot a half size up in 8 1/2 as suggested and even then, the shoe was very narrow and tight on my feet. The color I had chosen was the Stone, but the actual book looks nothing like the photo. NOT true to color. The product information also claims the boot opening is a 15 inch circumference, but I find this hard to believe. My calves are just about 14 inches around, and I have the Madden Girl Cactuss boots as well (these boots have a 15in circumference), and they fit comfortably around my calves even with jeans and knee high socks. Very bummed out, I was looking forward to wearing these cute boots for the fall season! Will be returning them unfortunately.

I was very disappointed with these boots. I initially bought them because my wife loved the price and the quilted detailing. First of all, she had the hardest time getting her foot into the boot. Then, when she did have the boot on, they looked enormous. My wife is a petite 5'3 and these boots were too tall, too wide, too stiff, etc. They just didn't look right and were immediately returned.

The zipper located on the back of the boot does not allow it to be unzipped enough to get your foot in.. I had to force my foot in the boot, uncomfortable.. Then, when walking in it it really rubs against the back of the heel.. Ouch!.. I loved the look of the boot and the size is pretty true to other shoes but sending them back.. : (
