So disappointed
" The footbed of this shoe is SO soft, I was really excited - until I tried to slide my foot further down and the strap over the toes was so tight that I couldn't imagine walking anywhere in these. I had to pick a rating for length but I honestly can't confirm if these were short or long because my feet didn't fit past the super tight toe band.

Wide Calves and under 5'4"? Not your boot.
" I really wanted to keep these boots. Tried them on multiple times. But at the end of the day, the truth is the truth - they are too tall for my 5'3" frame. It's just so darn hard to find boots that actually ARE wide calf instead of just claiming it. These fit my calves so I wanted to be done with the search. But when I sat down, the back of the boots dug into the backs of my knees, and I know that boots that tall will just make me look shorter. Back they go!

Subtle kick to any outfit
" I love these t-straps. The taupe suede works well with pretty much everything I own and really classes up an outfit. In comparison to other heels I have, these are very easy to wear and keep wearing.

Disappointed
" The bag is cute, for sure, but I was disappointed in the quality of the interior lining. It felt like cheap, scratchy plastic that could rip easily. I'm usually so happy with Kelly & Katie products, so this was surprising. I also didn't like the straps - they were so formed & unbendable that when one is resting on your shoulder, the other is popped up waving in the air. I gave it 2 stars because it is still cute and a great size bag (so many options these days could literally fit a kitchen sink!)

Wide? For whom?
" These Wide Calf boots did not even zip all the way up. My calf is 14-1/2" at its widest point. I am very disappointed and will return these.

Disappointed
" I purchased the Wide Calf version of these boots; while they did zip all the way up (which is an improvement over most other tall boots), there was no extra room. I have a 14-1/2" circumference at the widest point of my calf. I'm so disappointed that I can't find a boot that will fit me & my jeans. These are going back.

Disguise a lazy work day
" There are some Monday mornings when heels just seem like the worst sort of torture - that is when these wedges are the best compromise. I still look put together even though my groggy, un-coffeed brain is calling out for flats. And the low, thin Mary Jane strap just ups the style.

Worth the wait
" I searched all over the stores for these shoes, to no avail. Finally, I decided to order them without trying them on first as I am a pretty consistent 7.5 but when they arrived my toes were right at the edge. Returned for a size 8, and I'm a happy girl. I wore them all day without any "first day" issues like rubbed heels. I would say that even though I hate toe cleavage, these seem to overcompensate a little too much for that. But whenever I think these might look matronly, I just look at the snazzy design and I'm re-sold on how cool they are!

" I have been on the hunt for black wedges/espadrilles all spring and always found myself coming back to these shoes. I guess the Aerosoles name kept me away since I am conditioned to think of them as a "mom" brand. But these are not mom-ish, and are so durn comfortable that it wouldn't matter anyway. I think the buckle is in a slightly odd spot (it falls on the top of the foot, not off to the side) but it's not a huge concern.

" I'd recommend wearing more than just a dress sock with these; I felt a bit of rubbing on the pad of my foot but that was fixed with a good, cotton sock (bought my usual size and there were no fit issues with the thicker sock). Very cute boot, somehow seemed a little louder than my other heels on tiled flooring!

I get at least 1 compliment every time!
" I love that these Sperrys are just that extra bit special because of the plaid fabric - a lot of people rock the Sperry around me and it makes me feel good that I have a little bit of a cutting edge on the style. Super comfy, as always.

Perfect Purple Pumps
" I was really longing for a pair of heels in an unusual color to break up a closet full of browns and blacks. These purpley heels really did the trick! They are a little higher than most of the heels I wear, but I can still rock them for hours without pain. The opening at the heel is a little narrow - slipping them on takes a little concentration - but that also keeps them on well (without digging at my skin). So glad I found these!
