When they say wide calf the mean WIDE
" I got these on sale at a super cheap price. I loved the button accents on the side and that they were zipper style instead of slip in shaft style.
Overall they are a great cute extra pair of heeled boots to have lying around. I have only worn them maybe three times mainly due to the fact that I bought them in spring when boot season was almost over.
They are pretty comfortable. I have not worn them for any long period of time though.
The calf is SUPER wide, so if you have a wide calves and shaft books normally are not your friend due to your calves being so big these will be great for you!

Great everyday sandal. Not for the skinny ankle.
" I got these at a great price when I was looking for a black everyday sandal.
These has proven to be great to wear with every summer outfit that I have.
They run slightly wide so if you have wide feet these will be great for you.
The only issue that I have with these are the ankle buckles. I guess I have skinny ankles because even using the last hole on the strap the ankle strap was still WAY too loose when I put the shoes on. I ended up having to nail three more holes in the strap so I could make the ankle strap tighter so my feet/ ankles weren't slipping around when I wear the shoes.

Great Steve Madden Wedge Fail on the strap stretch
" I can't bash these too much. I had been in the market for a new pair of black wedges to wear with everything for a few summers now and when I came across these at my local DSW I liked them a lot. Of COURSE they didn't have my size in stock in the store so they had to order them for me, which actually turned out to be great...... with the online sale price and two $ off coupons that I had which total $15 I only ended up paying $14.95 for these babies. :)
Pros:
They are pretty comfortable. I can wear them all day and my feet do not bother me at all.

They are great with pretty much any outfit, jeans, maxi dress, skirt whatever so they will get a lot of summer use.
Cons:
The ONE reserve I had about buying these shoes sadly is the truth.... The two upper straps on the shoe that wrap around the top part of your foot/ ankle are elastic. When I was in the store ordering the shoes I asked the sales lady if the elastic would stretch out and eventually not hold my feet in place very well. Naturally she said no and pointed out how the bottom straps that go across the bottom part of your foot/ toes are lined with leather and that the straps would be fine and hold forever.... WRONG! I have had these shoes about three weeks now and have worn them about half a dozen times and sadly the upper straps are already starting to stretch. If I wear the shoes on a workday where I leave the office to walk to get lunch or coffee my feet start to slide and my toes go over the edge of the shoes a tiny bit due to the elastic straps not holding tight to my feet. The bottom straps, lined with leather, seem to be just fine but the upper ones I know eventually would be goners.

I recommend these is you plan on not wearing them too often, that should give the elastic a little longer life and keep your feet in place when you wear them, or if you have bigger/ wider feet that will hug the straps and stay in place regardless of how much the elastic stretches.

Great looking hat, just a little snug.
" I bought this hat for my boyfriend a few months back. He loves newsboy style hats and I found this one in the clearance section of my local DSW. The inside is lined with a nice silky royal purple color which my boyfriend thought was very cool and stylish.
The hat overall is super cute but, it fits a little snug on my boyfriends head. My boyfriend is completely bald so there is no hair to crowd the cap it just runs a tad small as it comes. I was able to stretch the fabric a tad bit but it took my boyfriend a few wears before he said he really liked how it fit. He prefers that his hats go down to a little bit above his ears and this one touches maybe a cm higher than he would like.
For the price its great and it also could be worn by a woman. I was planning on keeping it myself if my boyfriend didn't like it the only issue was it was a tad too loose for my head.

Cute Sandal But Very Uncomfortable
" I bought these on a whim, I was actually looking for black sandals but these (white) were on sale and super cute so I got them. I have worn them twice now and both times they have really hurt my feet.
The tops straps are super tight no matter how loose or tight you buckle the buckle. They leave line marks on the tops of my feet and around my ankles.
Cute shoe but I don't recommend getting them, especially if you plan on wearing them for more than a few hours.

Great casual or dressy boot
" I bought these boots because my last pair of Chinese Laundry boots that were similar to this color (cognac) were getting a little run down. I was able to get them on sale (great price) and I love them!
They are great with jeans or a cute dress. They do have a tendency to fall a little bit and bunch at the bottom, but that could just be from my small calves. A lot of my other tall boots do that as well.
I love the boots and recommend them.

Great Everyday Boot, Classic and Comfy
" I was in need of a new pair of flat black boots for winter, my pair from last year were getting old and I wanted a new style. I ended up receiving these as a birthday gift.
They are an awesome everyday boot. I wear them at least three times a week and they go with pretty much anything; leggings, jeans, skirts etc.
They run slightly long I am 5'7 and the boots go slightly over my knees. They are a pinch narrow so if you have wide feet and legs I would't recommend them. But if you are of average build in those areas they will be fine.
Very easy to clean, faux leather I believe, anything you spill comes out with a wipe and warm water. The elastic material that is on the side I thought was a bit odd at first but you can't tell once the boots are on that the material is not the same all around.
So far they seem great for the rain, so long as you're not walking too much in the rain, they are not rain boots after all. But I live in Oregon where it rains quite a bit and walking around the city short distances the boots have done a great job keeping my feet dry.
