"Being an individual with wide feet, these shoes are great. Sure, initially they were a bit snug but after several wears, they are forming to my feet, stretching out with plenty of room. The run pretty true to size as I typically wear a 7.5 and that is what I ordered. These are great, comfy, casual and easy to throw on shoes for those errands I need to run or to chase my toddler around! Would recommend."
"After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase these rain boots. I live in Wisconsin so things can get pretty wet here, especially during the colder months. Also, I had an upcoming trip to Ireland planned and everything I read suggest I get a nice pair of rain boots due to the wet weather in the country. I went with these based on reviews and price point.
I wore them around the house and they were very comfortable. I really love that they are fleece-lined as they keep my feet warm and that will be nice during a Wisconsin winter.
However, when I wore them in Ireland after several hours they began to hurt my feet. I developed blisters on my heels as the boot kept rubbing and rubbing and they are not that snug on me. Not to mention when we got back to our hotel, I took off the boots and my socks were damp. I am not sure if this was due to a leak or if it may have been foot sweat (gross, I know). My feet were not soaking wet which is good and leads me to believe there was no leak. Also it was quite rainy that day and I stepped in many, many puddles. So maybe it was just foot sweat due to the nice, warm fleece-lining.
Overall, I will have to wear them more and see whether or not there is an actual leak. But I think my biggest disappointment was that I developed blisters after attempting to break them in (I mean it's hard to break in a rubber boot). These are great boots for when you need to throw them on, run errands or what-not. They are not good for a long day of walking and being on your feet.
I would recommend them as they fit nice, their stylish with a cute pair of jeans or leggings and cautiously practical."

In Love.
"I originally bought the Diba The Weekend Riding Boot and exchanged them for these. I am so happy I did. The Diba's ran small and narrow and were just plain uncomfortable. These Bandolinos are the complete opposite. They are much comfier, they fit my wider-than-most feet, they come in a wide calf option, which I opted for and I feel they fit perfectly over a pair of skinny jeans. The color is also comparable, the heel height and the height of the boot of the Bandolinos are a bit shorter, but I like this style much better. I have received a number of compliments and my feet are happy with this choice as well. Great fall boot that I would recommend for anyone, especially those who may have wide feet and/or calves."

Order a half size larger...
"I fell in love with these boots when seeing them on sale online. I typically wear a 7.5 across the board (sandals, boots, heels, etc.). So naturally that is the size I ordered. I received these boots and yes I do love them; the color, style, the height. But what I don't love is that they run narrow. I do have slightly wide feet but the 7.5 is extremely snug on my feet, to the point my feet feel like they are falling asleep. The part around my calf also feels tight but I think with the leather that would adjust the more you wear them. But I don't see the foot part of the boot expanding and I am more than likely going to have to return these. I am super bummed. I would highly recommend buying these boots but going at least a half size bigger, especially if you have wider feet."

Cute Bootie!
"This bootie is stylish and comfortable. I have wide feet and feel it fits very well and is true to size. I wear a 7.5 and that is what I purchased and have had no issues. I've worn them with dress pants, skinny jeans and skirts/dresses. Very versatile shoe! Received numerous comments on them as well which is a plus!!"
