Loving these boots!
January 21, 2016
Loving these boots. They are a little tight on the top of my foot, but that tends to happen to m e pretty often with boots. I'm sure I just need to wear them in. Otherwise, I love these boots.The color is perfect to wear with jeans, and I really appreciate that the zipper comes all the way up the side. I usually wear these over skinny jeans, so I like that the zipper on the side allows me to easily get them on/off without messing up my pants or getting them all crumpled inside :)
The BEST boots around!
December 22, 2015
These Aerosoles tall boots are exactly what I've been looking for! I live in South Dakota where the winters are harsh on my shoes. I usually end up buying a new pair of boots every 2 years (if I'm lucky). I recently received another pair of Aerosoles shoes as a gift, and immediately did a ton of research on the brand. I have been very pleased with all of my Aerosoles purchases. I have two pair of heels, and now two pair of these "With Pride" riding boots (in black and tan). I am 5'11" and typically wear a 10.5 or 11 in boots. I tried these on in store and found that the 10.5 fit perfectly with a normal weight pair of socks, so that's what I ended up ordering from Amazon (MUCH better price)! While I've never needed wide calf boots, I appreciate the convenience of having the double zipper as an option. My calves are about 15 inches around, so I don't need the double zipper. A nice feature for someone who would though. I have come to love the comfy soles in all Aerosoles shoes, and these boots are no exception! I can wear these all day long teaching, running errands, and so much more without my feet hurting at all! Thank you Aerosoles for yet another great pair of shoes I will wear constantly!! :)
Great boots for the right legs.
September 22, 2015
I'm both taller and kind of leggy for my height, so bear that in mind. The previous reviews of people having a bit of trouble who were shorter might be absolutely right. For me, they're perfect. I have now owned them almost exactly a year, one pair of black and one brown. The brown's gotten more wear. They're probably a bit warm because they're synthetic, but all winter long I was quite glad for that, and there's something I didn't originally think about: Aside from making them cheaper? Synthetic means that I have been wearing these as my "crappy weather" shoes through rain and snow and mud for one whole year, and they clean up easy and I'm never worried in the least about waterproofing. I'm sure they won't last forever, but for the price I expected them to seem more flimsy. I think I'm going to get at least a few years out of them, and I'm very pleased with that. Not a lot of arch support, but I will give Aerosoles a lot of credit, they're incredibly comfortable even when I'm out and on my feet all day.I'm not the sort of person who needs what's usually marked as a "wide calf" but I'm also not skinny, and they're just right for me, whereas a lot of boots like this run at least a little too narrow. I wish they'd produce stuff like this in more than two calf sizes because I don't think there's any way for "regular" and "wide" to encompass the entire population, but as long as they don't, it's important to know what you're getting.
In Love!
November 4, 2013
I adore these boots. They're a great fit, and although they're wide-calf, they don't look like buckets on my legs. They actually taper in at the top and fit beautifully. The leather is soft and comfortable and I get compliments on them constantly. These will receive plenty of wear this year!
Best fitting boots ever!!!
February 27, 2013
I don't know why some people complain that the shafts of these boots are too wide. My calves are about 15", so they are average. My shoe size is 7.5 and these boots fit perfectly!!!! Couldn't be happier, because of the reviews I was afraid they would be too wide but they fit just right and they are really well made. They don't fit snug (I can even tuck my jeans in) but that makes them even more comfortable. They look and feel like leather and look awesome!Best boots I purchased in a long, long time.
So far so good!
October 31, 2012
Just received my boots and so far, am very happy with the fit. Good toe room and best of all: they zip up! Those with larger calves know what a problem this is. I was expecting to need the double zipper feature to accomodate my calves, but with thin leggings/socks, no problem and they even have a little space. Not too tight at all. Jeans tucked in may require unzipping the second zipper, but that's fine with me. The bonus is that they are TALL... actually come up all the way up to the top of my calf (something I haven't found in other boots). I'm 5'11" with long legs, and wear a size 11 (sometimes needing a wide width). Some size 11s are too tight in the toes, but these are good. I'd say they fit as expected or maybe even a little big.For reference, at the widest part of my calf, I measure 17" and from heel to top of calf, also about 17". So that gives you an idea of how the size 11 fits at least. Others have commented that the boots feel big in the heel. I feel that too, but I'm okay with a little looseness there. Worth it for all the other features. Bonus if you need an orthodic/gel support in that there's room in the heel area.Ordered dark brown and color and finishes are good. Doesn't look "cheap". Also like the rubber sole with traction that you always get with Aerosoles. Will be good for walking in the winter without fear of slipping on light snow/ice.Overall, very happy.

February 18, 2016
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.
Good product
January 8, 2016
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.
and I know both ladies will be super happy with them
December 23, 2015
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.
Cute boots, great price, and fit my athletic calves!
November 27, 2015
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 :)
Fit SMALLER than expected!
October 18, 2015
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!
Perfect Fall Boots
October 2, 2015
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.

Great for WIDE CALF Boots
May 18, 2016
These are great boots, but the fact that they are wide calf style should really be more prominent in the description. You have to expand the item description, and it's the very last item.I have fairly thick calves (a lot of riding boots won't zip up on my calves at all), and they are still about an inch too big. The price is great though, and they are absurdly comfortable, so I decided to keep them to wear with big thick socks in the winter.If you ARE looking for a wide-calf boot, these even have an extra zipper to allow them to expand wider. I imagine they would be great for ladies who have trouble finding riding boots.
Great boots!
May 3, 2016
Great very comfortable boots, but not real leather material. My foot is about 10.5 inches from heel to toe and I usually wear size 7. The boots fit perfectly and did not need to be broken in. No blisters, no pressure anywhere.At first I purchased normal black and then I bought a 2nd pair in Black Crocodile. I like textured ones a little better. I also tried the Brown Crocodile. I like that the color is dark brown but still prefer these boot sin Black.I use it for working on a farm as well as riding horses. However it is very stylish and can be used anywhere.On the picture: in the middle is the black boot I wore for more than a month. On the sides are black crocodile and brown crocodile. I returned brown and kept black as a 2nd pair. Hope this was helpful!
Maybe they just need to be worn in order to get the nice rounded shape
December 16, 2015
I just received these boots today and I'm sure I will break them in; however, the extended zipper makes them look a little sloppy. Maybe they just need to be worn in order to get the nice rounded shape. To me, the extra zipper makes the material look stiff and rigid. I'm in between a regular boot and wide-calf, so I've struggled to find the "right fit" for a while. These feel good overall, the size is as expected and the additional zipper leaves plenty of room for jeans, leggings, etc. The only complaint that I would have is that the extended zipper on my left boot appears to have additional glue or something that makes unzipping the zipper VERY difficult. I felt like I was going to rip the zipper out when trying to get it past the glue/material. I hope that it wears and eventually isn't so difficult to zip and unzip.
Super cute
May 26, 2015
I really wanted to love these boots, and I do for the most part. They are very cute, a great color, and fit true to size for me. The only problem I have with them is in the calf. They are supposed to be wide calf, and I guess they are, but only if you unzip the second zipper, which looks like you forgot to zip your boot up! Kind of silly looking to be honest. Yes, I still wear them, but I wish they were a true wide calf, without the use of the extra zipper.
Nice for big calves, zippers aren't great
October 28, 2014
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with these boots. Normally with riding boots, I have trouble squeezing my calves into boots that are the ideal size for my foot — not these. Definitely quite roomy for the calves, even without that second zipper unzipped. They have a nice cushion in the insole that makes them pretty comfortable. They're quite tall.Can't put my finger on exactly why, but these boots seem cheap. They're really shiny, they smelled funny when I opened the box, the zippers seem more like flimsy clothes zippers than sturdy boots zippers. Still happy with them, I expect they'll last two winters or so.
Coming apart at the seams!! Snug fit in the foot. Tall and shiny
March 26, 2013
UPDATE: Put these boots on to go out the door and realized the seam is coming apart on the bottom. There is already a small hole. I saw another review where they said the same thing and the seller would not refund them. BEWARE!!-The fitThe foot was very narrow! I have a AAA narrow foot. I usually wear a 6.5 or 7. I got these in a 7 and they just barely fit snuggly. They will work for me, but if you have a wide foot they may not. If you have an average foot, I would go up a half size.The shaft was good -very tall and plenty of room in the calf. I have average size calves and had a little room to spare, but not much. they do have stretch pieces on the inside so I think larger calved women could do well with these.-The lookvery shiny black. Looked as pictured. Not the trendiest I've ever seen but a good solid black. I was pleased.-The smellThey smelled horrible; not like leather, like a toxic cheap smell. I've had them for a couple days airing out in a spare room and I think they will be ok. But I couldn't have worn them straight out of the box.Side note -packinging was very nice. They came in a large tall box so as to not crease them.Overall a good boot for an average price. I would recommend them.

For the most part I love these boots
February 5, 2016
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
Very Nice Normal calve size Boots!
April 1, 2015
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
January 16, 2015
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.
with thick socks this problem is easily solved. Also
October 27, 2014
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!

First pair great, 2nd pair not so good
January 20, 2017
These boots seem to be inconsistent. My wife had one pair from a few years ago that fit comfortably from day 1 and lasted a long time. The 2nd pair was not so comfortable and leaked water into the boot from stepping in a minimal amount of snow right from day 1. Will not be getting much use out of the 2nd pair. Aerosoles will do nothing to help since they were not bought directly from them.
One year after purchase, heel separated from boot :(
August 27, 2016
I bought these boots in tan in Jan 2015, and in March 2016, I noticed that the heel of one of the boots had come apart from the upper part of the boot. Before this unfortunate separation, I really loved these boots. Super comfy, stylish, good for rainy and/or cold days. But I think my boots should last more than one year, especially since I live in a climate where I could only wear them for 5 months out of the year, and even then, I only wore them maybe twice a week.
For wider feet and calves
December 23, 2015
I usually love aerosoles because of the comfort they offer. They've always been fitted without being tight. These were galoshes! The material was stiffer than aerosoles have typically been, and there was no sheen like in the photo whatsoever. I have narrow feet and calves, but usually wear medium width because narrow is hard to find. These ran wide, all the way from the footbed to the top of the boot.If you have wide feet and calves these would be great for you. You could apply a shine/conditioner to get the sheen in the photo. The material in the footbed did flex out at the sides (from being too wide) rather than holding firm, so they would probably soften up on their own after wearing them a bit.
A bit disappointed
October 30, 2015
The fit was as tight around the calve area, which is why I ordered a half size bigger. Good thing I did because the calve was just right when the second zipper was pulled all the way down. The bottom portion of the boot was a bit too roomy. I did not like the second zipper for calf width adjustment, was very obvious and they looked and felt like plastic. It was the first thing my husband said when I tried them on. I misread when I was shopping and thought the upper half was leather. Very disappointing since I am a big fan and customer of Aerosoles. Their quality is usually much better. Of course I am returning them.
Faux leather creases oddly
December 18, 2014
I ordere 2 pair of these boots - 1) Black/Grey Fabric top, and 2)Light Brown. Although they both fit well, I'm not satisfied with them because they are not real leather, and I didn't like the secondary zipper. I wore the black pair in the house for a couple hours, and creasing on the foot makes it obvious they are not real leather. For the price they are OK, but not for me.
Definitely Wide Calf
November 18, 2014
I have been looking for light brown riding boots that I can wear over skinny jeans. Most boots I've tried won't zip easily or comfortably over my calves, but when measured I have 15" calves, which are listed as "normal". Even supposed 15" openings don't always work. So I figured these should fit. At worst they'd be too small and I'd have to use the double zipper feature.When I put these on, they were way too wide, leaving at least a .5 in gap between my leg and the boot. This may be because they hit me right below the knee (I'm 5'2" ish) and that isn't the widest part of my leg. Regardless, I definitely don't need the extension feature and these are being returned. They might fit someone with long legs or at least 5'4/5'5 height.Quality wise, I found the boots sufficient. The material won't pass as real leather, but it isn't unattractive and feels substantial enough. Color is true to picture, the lining is soft and they're easy to put on. The fabric fit my leg oddly, though, and jutted out along the outside of my knee at the top and wrinkled oddly at my ankle. Again, maybe because I'm too short for them.I usually wear between a 7.5 and an 8.5 depending on the shoe, and my feet do run slightly wide (especially in heels and ballet flats). I ordered these in an 8M and they were a little long, but would have been wearable if the shaft fit right. The width seemed to fit well.

Cute but Zipper Broke
October 16, 2016
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.
Too snug
March 3, 2016
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!
Good quality, but order at least a half size up
November 10, 2015
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.

January 21, 2015
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.
So disappointed in sizing
November 13, 2014
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.

Changed my mind
March 29, 2016
"Really nice pair of shoes, fit well and comfortable. I would have given these 5 star but they wrinkle easily and the wrinkle marks are pretty visible, also the material are really thin, somewhat cheap but still great for the price"That's what i posted when i first got the boots, the wrinkle is much worse now and the leather had physically come off the boots since then. I think the maker of the boots expects the wearer to just stand in them and not move at all. I realized that i can't ask much for the price but still, the quality is pretty bad.

November 11, 2015
I wanted to like them, especially since they actually did (barely) fit over my big calves and they also came in a wide shoe size. However, the height of the boot itself was taller than was comfortable for my leg. I'm 5' 4.5" but I have long legs for my short stature and the top of the boot shaft rubbed the top of my leg by my knee cap in a weird and uncomfortable way. The one positive thing with the extra panel and the gaping that was reported in other reviews means that one could actually wear boot sleeves, which seems a difficult trend to make happen with wide calves. I might have been able to make this boot work had I only planned to wear my jeans/leggings tucked into them all the time but my persnickety feet didn't find the boot itself comfortable enough to consider keeping them. It would have been ideal if the extra panel have been a stretchy material, as the boot material had no given whatsoever and breaking the zipper would have been a real concern. They looked cute though, but not cute enough to keep, sadly.

October 9, 2015
These are the most uncomfortable Aerosoles that I have ever purchased and I am quite disappointed, since I have been a customer for a very long time. I've worn them 3 times and my feet and legs hurt every time. The sole is hard, the "leather" is hard, they squeeze my feet. I put in gel insoles and still they are the pits. It's too bad that I can't return them. The only reason that I give them 2 stars is because they are cute, but other than that, I would not recommend them, even on sale.
Fantastic Overall
February 20, 2015
I had boots very similar to these from Charlotte Russe, but they no longer carried them so I was looking for something close and I came across these on Amazon. I was a little wary at first because of the expected fit, but these feel fantastic! Wearing them for the first time, it was of course, a little tighter of a fit than expected, but after wearing them for a few hours, it shaped to the contour of my feet. I have a very hard time finding cute, affordable shoes in my size (11 US womens), and I am very, very glad that I bought these and with Prime shipping. I will most definitely buy these again and again. They look great, feel great, and all a a good price. I couldn't be more satisfied.Update: I paid $54.40 for these, including tax. I would not pay $61.98 plus tax for them.UPDATE: 12/1/2015 I bought these back in January earlier this year. I only wore them until about Spring time and then I started wearing them again about a month ago. The soles are literally falling apart from the shoe, I've had to reglue everything back together. The price for my size is now $69. I would not recommend these boots- they're not durable nor of good quality.
Not for those with skinny calves!
December 3, 2014
So sad. I got these on an AMAZING sale, and I was so stoked to finally try them on! I am 6'1" with as size 12 foot. I have been searching for a long while now for a pair of brown riding boots in my size.The pros: great fit in the toe box and heel. Definitely room for socks, but didn't feel like my heel would slip out. Quality pair, well made.The cons: I also noticed a slight wrinkling down at the ankle area. Which I would have been willing to overlook if not for the very wide calves issue. I looked like I had chicken legs. Like I was wearing a pair of men's galoshes. So disappointed.All that to say, don't avoid purchase of this pair if you have what's probably more like 'normal' sized calves. I know my legs are skinny, but I was holding out hope. I'm sad to send these back, but I would feel ridiculous trying to pretend these are way too loose.
A little small
September 26, 2013
Even with the double zip, I struggled to get my calf zipped in these boots. I'm athletic, but my calf isn't ginormous. They also gave me blisters after less than an hour. Its hard to explain - my toes are where they should be, so they seem like they're the right size in the toe, and smaller in the heel and calf. Meh. Disappointed.

Cute but painful
January 31, 2016
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.
Too narrow - squished my toes
November 2, 2015
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.
Not so great..

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.
Poor Construction and Uncomfortable
February 23, 2015
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.
Beautiful shoe. Too small. My my foot bleed!
January 30, 2015
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.
Blisters Pain Blisters!!
January 14, 2015
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!

Cheap looking, hot and make your calves look even bigger.
March 13, 2016
I wanted a pair of boots that wouldn't break the bank since I have gained some weight and my all leather boots no longer fit. These are too wide and make my calves look even wider. The cheap fabrication makes my feet and legs sweat like crazy and I found myself wanting to rip them off when I was out in public. I would not recommend these to anyone. Keep looking.
It looked like I was wearing rainboots
July 5, 2015
Weirdest fit ever. I ordered a half size up because the reviews said it ran small. The foot is incredibly narrow, while the calf is HUGE. Who has that narrow of feet with such large calves? It looked like I was wearing rainboots. My calves are about 14 inches around and I read these were good for 15 inch calves. 1inch bigger I can handle but there was a good 2 inches maybe more of room. And the foot part was very uncomfortable. I'm returning them.
Too large in the calf
January 19, 2015
Two reasons why I did not like these boots. One was the fact that they looked cheap. The top part of the foot had small cracks running through the material so they did not come close to looking like faux leather. Two, the shaft of the boot kept slapping against the back of my calves when I walked which quickly became annoying even when I tucked my jeans in they were still too large. Normally the boots circumference of the shaft fits me as expected. I have average sized legs. I did NOT order wide calf, but these are definitely for extra large calves! I did give it one star because the insole of the boot was comfortable.
Fell apart after 3 weeks!
October 28, 2014
I am incredibly disappointed in this product. I bought these seeing reviews from another teacher about how comfortable they are when you stand all day. After wearing them for 3 weeks, I suddenly noticed the sole of the boots are separating from the boot itself. Upon further inspection, the leather is peeling off. There is no reason for this as I am a high school teacher so my shoes get very little wear and tear, as I walk around a classroom all day. I spent $60 for these boots and cannot even wear them through the winter months. I have to buy another pair and believe me, they won't be Aerosoles!
Shoes broke after 2 wears
February 19, 2014
I have the same pair in black and they fit like a charm. I got these and I barely got both zippers up but I did. I wore them twice and the heel broke off. SO upset!
Disappointed in boots
November 26, 2012
Let me say I love Areosoles and have many of their shoes however these boots were cheap looking and the one zipper did not zip the entire way up the boot. Very disappointing purchase will be returning.

Do not buy these boots!
February 10, 2016
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!
causes pain/blisters from the lower portion of the zipper jabbing into back of ankle
January 21, 2016
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.
TOO SMALL
January 13, 2016
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.
Beware, not true to size! Too small!
October 24, 2015
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.
Too Small and Too Big at the Same Time
January 28, 2015
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.
Design Flaw with the Zipper Placement
December 30, 2014
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.. : (
