Very Uncomfortable
" I bought these thinking they would be great for work, where I sometimes need to walk across campus in the rain between buildings. They don't look like a clunky rainboot, but really like a professional style flat, but with the features of a rain shoe. I could have dry feet while still looking professional! Unfortunately, the first time I wore them for a brief (10 minute) walk across campus, they immediately began rubbing my feet raw. I was wearing no-show socks, but they rubbed raw spots on both ankles on the outside, and on the back of my heels. Halfway to my destination I was bleeding and wondering how I was going to walk back to my office (see photo). I managed to borrow a couple of bandaids at my destination and then walked back, but the damage was done. I don't see that I will ever be able to wear these for their intended purpose. For a very short walk from parking lot to building, they were ok, but anything beyond that and they are unwearable. I suppose a pair of socks would help, but that pretty much destroys the look of the shoe, which is to mimic a dress flat. I'm very disappointed and can't recommend this shoe for that reason.

Comfortable But Odd
" I loved the color of this boot, but felt the style wasn't quite what I wanted. I ended up returning this and instead buying an ankle height boot instead. I think this is really more of a shoe than a boot. I wear a 9.5 and felt it made my feet look really long/large. I also wasn't crazy about the rubber sole, it just looked a little too casual to me.

Great Casual Boot
" This is a very comfortable book in a great neutral color. Goes with a lot of different outfits and is very comfortable to wear.

Gorgeous but Too Tight
" I really wanted to love these as they were the absolute perfect color for the spring -- patent nude loafers -- comfy and casual, but the patent leather makes them dressy enough to look professional. They were EXACTLY what I need for work. Unfortunately, the fit it just not there for me. I had to mark these as slightly narrow and slightly short, but in reality the problem is the HEIGHT of the toe box. They press down on my big toe in a way that is distinctly uncomfortable. They are long enough (I am a true 9.5) but my foot tends to slide forward making the problem even worse. I tried to convince myself that the patent leather would stretch but it's just too uncomfortable. Too bad because these shoes look great.

Fun Rain boots
" I was never much of a rainboot person but we finally seem to have broken our drought here in Texas, so I really needed something to wear when it's raining and I have to walk the dog or be out in the yard. These were the only color in my size at my local DSW so I went ahead and got them, and boy am I glad I did! I have gotten a RIDICULOUS number of compliments on these boots, which I think is funny since I thought the color and design were a little "loud." I have since purchased a second pair of Sakroots rainboots in a more 'subtle' design and they are just as wonderful. For me, the height of these boots and the fit are perfect -- they aren't sloppy and loose, but they also don't bind around the calf like some of the taller rainboots. I like to just step into these as I am going out the door, so I either wear thin socks or no socks -- so when I say I am usually a 9.5-10 and these fit me in a size 9, bear that in mind -- I suppose if you wear heavy socks with your rainboots, they run true to size, but for me, they run large.

Unfortunately too Small
" Super cute boots, especially for cold weather, but unfortunately they ran a little short for me. I am a true 9.5 but I should have ordered these in a 10. They are honestly just a bit too "cozy" for our mild Texas winters -- the fur lining feels wonderful, but for me it made the boot look kind of clunky, and just didn't seem to fit the style I wanted. Loved the color, though, and regretfully returned.

Perfect!
" I love these shoes so much. I have been staying away from bright white soles on workout shoes, but these were such a good deal, and the fit was right, so I went for it. So glad I did. These are super comfy and yet supportive. I work out in them every day. Great buy!

Cute But Too Narrow
" I loved the colors of this shoe, and the price was right, but unfortunately it ran a bit narrow for me. My little toes went number after walking around my house in these for about half an hour. I can usually wear a M width in a 10, or a wide in 9.5, but these didn't come in a wide width. Sadly, I had to return them.

Cute, but...
" Oh how I wanted to love these boots. I love love love the cool gray color and the understated details and even though they are not leather, they don't look cheap. It's hard to find gray boots! Unfortunately, these were very loose around the calf for me, and the gapping that occurred because of this was not flattering. They gapped out only on the outsides of my calves, and just didn't look good. I like a little play around my calves, but it needs to be even, if that makes sense. These just looked...odd. I had to return them, and it really made me sad because I can't find another pair in this color/style that I like as well.
