Perfect Leggings for Chicago
" Visiting Chicago during the Thanksgiving break, it's pretty cold. Need leggings. Saw DSW sign. Solution guaranteed.
Price: reasonable.
Fit: I'm 5.6 ft. tall and a big girl (muscular legs, big butt, round hips). The L/XL fit me very well and were a little bit too long.
Feel: Thick material was especially nice in the cold. Wore them under short skirts and it kept me warm. Thicker than tights. Definitely comfortable.

My first oxford in over 20 years
" These shoes are really great looking. The patent leather is smooth and shiny. The laces aren't too long and the flats are, well, flat.
I wear a 9.5M. Size 10 fit me perfect. So I would try .5 size up before you order.
Flat shoes are hard for me to wear because I have hardware in my ankle, but these are comfortable for 1/2 my day. They also go really well with long maxi dresses. Wear some kind of powder though because your feet do get hot in the shoes.

A good tote for work
" I bought this for the purpose of work as I carry a lot of paperwork and my lunch. I got the red/black tote and love the color blocking. Here's the breakdown:
Straps - long enough to hang from shoulder and slightly padded so they don't cut into the skin. They're attached from the inside and sometimes catch on things but not often enough to make me want to dump the bag.
Length: I like that it's a long tote. Nothing falls out and I can carry file folder and newspapers without them being seen.
Width: I do wish it was a little wider, but it still hold quite a lot of stuff.
Wishes: I'd like it to have studs on the bottom so the faux leather doesn't get scraped/scratched/torn. And a little wider as mentioned above. Besides that, this tote is working out just great for what I need it for.

I'm TALL now!!
" Ordered these shoes in grey and they are really good looking shoes. I've gotten accustomed to having booties with zippers so I was a little taken aback when I saw that I have to actually lace these up (haha!). Here are the details:
Sizing: I wear a 9-9.5M shoe. I ordered a 9.5 and they fit fine. Not too small or too big.
Comfort level: I was hoping that because of the platform, these would have some additional cushion. That is not the case. I may have to buy some ball-of-the-foot insert because they are hard shoes. This is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
Heel height: it's a very high heel with a high platform. Still a little awkward to walk in, but by the end of day, it was fine. Mostly fine. I found myself losing my balance a couple of times, but it could have been me.
Hope this helps. I'm keeping the shoes and buying inserts.

Finally! High Heeled Dr. Martens!
" I'm sure they've had them forever, I've just not seen them. I bought these in black and absolutely love them. I only wear skirts and in the winter I wear skirts with black tights. I've been wearing them nearly everyday and I keep getting complements on them. Here's what you want to know:
Sizing: I wear a 9 / 9.5 M, depending on the shoe. I figured I was going to wear socks with these so I ordered them in 10, just to be on the safe side. They are slightly big on me, but again, with socks, they work fine. Insoles will be good to fix this problem.
Comfort: the heel is 4in, but doesn't feel like it. They're quite comfortable even with the leather being very stiff. It's leather, you'll have to break them in. The soles also have great grip so there's no slipping or sliding.
Cost: a little pricey for my taste, but they're Dr. Marten's and I got them anyway. They're supposed to last forever. Even if they only last 3 years, that breakdown is $47 / year. That's how I look at it.

This Boot Was A Surprise
" Boot: Black ; Size: 9.5
This boot looked so quirky that I thought I would have fun with the color in it. It is fun, but I actually like it better zipped all the way up. The hot pink zipper in the back actually works better with my wardrobe than the colorful flaps. Either way, I've worn them both ways with a variety of outfits and it does work each time.
Comfort: Meh. I needed to add some gel inserts because they have absolutely no cushion. It is taking longer than I thought to break in, but each wear is more comfortable. They are slightly bigger, but buying thicker socks will help that.
Do I regret buying them? No, I don't. Will I buy the brown pair? No, I will not. I like them enough, but I'm not in love with them.

So close, but not close enough
" This is a beautiful shoe. Absolutely what I expected and wanted... except they were too big. >sad face< I typically wear a 9.5M and they were too big and therefore, uncomfortable. I tried to exchange for a 9M, but they were out. It looks like they received more in stock, but I've already ordered the replacement/exchange pair. So, think about ordering a 1/2 size smaller since these do run long. That should work out better.

His wedding shoes? No.
" I purchased these for my fiance for our wedding. I chose this and another style. He preferred this style for his suit, but this was sized a 1/2 size too big. He wears an 11M and his heel kept slipping out. He said they weren't comfortable because his foot kept slipping. I returned/exchanged for a 10.5M. Haven't received them yet, but I'm hoping they fit him better. So... order 1/2 size smaller that what you normally wear. Only in this shoe though because the other style (same brand) was also an 11 and fit him perfectly.

Hello, summer!
" These shoes are so comfortable. I wear a 9.5M shoes, typically, and these fit in that size. The ankle strap fits fine, even around my bad ankle that is larger in circumference due to the hardware they placed inside. I can (and do) wear these all day. The only slight negative I can say is: these were supposed to be red and they're actually more pink/coral in color. I get tons of compliments from complete strangers when I wear these shoes. These shoes are a plus!

My niece's new obsession
" I bought these for my 6 year old niece for her birthday. She loves them! She says they're very comfortable and her mom says she wears them a lot. My niece is starting to get a shoe thing and her mom doesn't much like it... I love it though. She could very well be my new partner- in - crime!

Sass in Nude
" I was a little worried that the toe might be oddly pointy, but when they arrived, they were just fine. These shoes look great on and they are mostly comfortable. The nitty-gritty: size: I wear a 9.5M and ordered a 9. It fit just a tiny bit tight, but started to loosen up as I wore them throughout the day. I would suggested ordering a 1/2 size down. Also, I'm glad that the inside wasn't just plastic, but a fabric as I am planning to wear these without hosiery. I hate it when my feet slide. However, by the end of the day, the fabric definitely felt rough. I'll have to place a thin insole for comfort. Other than that, I plan to buy the other colors because these shoes look good on. People noticed them and complemented them.

No excuse now...
" I purchased this pair so I could keep in my office and walk more. I tried them on and was very pleased. I wear a 9.5M and ordered a 9.5 and fit just fine. No foot wiggle, no tight areas. I walk a little on the outside of my foot and it caused some discomfort as it wasn't wide enough to accommodate that, but a little moleskin and it was fixed! Plus, they're super light and it doesn't feel like I'm wearing weights after walking a while... Now I guess I have to walk more. Thanks! ;)

Sexy Academic
" I really enjoyed wearing these. They're about the same height I usually wear, but don't look very high. I usually wear a 9.5M, but ordered these in 9M. They were a little tight on my left foot (which is bigger than my right), but by the end of the day they were fine. Professional with a hint of sass. Like one of those old Rosalind Russell movies...

My first rain boots...
" I'm headed to Chicago and Iowa for the holidays this year and I have no waterproof shoes. I'm from the desert and while we do have rain/snow, not enough to require rain boots/shoes.
Fit: I ordered the 10 (I'm a 9.5 in heels) knowing that I'd be wearing socks (maybe more than one pair) and they fit fine. They were comfortable and warm. We received a rainstorm and I actually used them, but had to take off as my feet were HOT inside the shoe. Which is good for going to the Midwest during the winter holidays.
Shoe = A+

Preppy and Pretty
" I thought these shoes were absolutely adorable when they arrived. I couldn't decide between the dark grey and the taupe, so I purchased both. The grey is great and am able to wear them when I wear my black skirt and tights. I received so many compliments I was blushing most of the day. The taupe ones I also like, but the ribbon looks more olive than brown. It doesn't really matter though.
The fit:: I had to put an insole in these shoes as they don't have a lot of cushion. To be fair, I have to put an insole in most of my shoes, so it didn't bother me at all. Otherwise, they were great. Definitely an 8+ hr shoe the first time out. The sizing is true (9.5 fit on my 9.5 feet) and the heel height is comfortable.

I'm hipper than I thought...
" Purchased these at the store in El Paso. I thought these shoes were absolutely adorable. Tried them on and while I'm a 9.5M, I needed the 9M. They do run slightly long. Came home from trip and was flipping through my new Lucky magazine and lo and behold... a similar style is featured. I'm hip!!
I have them on today for the first time and as expected, they're a little uncomfortable. Shouldn't take long to break in though. Only slightly tight along the toes. Everything else feels just fine.

My niece's new obsession
" I ordered these for my niece's 6th birthday. She says they're comfortable . They must have been because as soon as she put them on she started running around the house and continued to enjoy her birthday party. The part I did notice that I wasn't entirely pleased with is that the snaps along the side unsnap too easily. They kept unsnapping throughout the night. I suggested they take them to a cobbler and have them sewn shut. My niece totally loved them. I loved them. I might have gotten my niece's shoe obsession started. My new partner-in-crime!

Sassy!
" Purchased these in black. They're great looking and sized perfectly. I thought the straps might be uncomfortable by end of day, but they weren't too bad. These shoes are quite comfortable around the office and even if you have a walk a bit more than usual. Definitely a good 8hr + shoe for the office.

Hello, Autumn!!
" This will be the perfect boot for Autumn/Winter! My standard uniform for these seasons is a short skirt with black tights. These boots will be perfect for ABQ (it does get cold) and even better for my trips to Chicago. They are comfortable and the lining provides warmth. I wear a 9.5M with most shoes, but I know that with Guess shoes, I should order a 9M. The heel is high enough for what I need and still comfortable enough to walk in them all day and, in some cases, quite a distance.

I'm tall now!!
" I don't typically buy shoes that have little flowers or pompoms or anything really girly. I like my shoes high and sexy. No extra pomp and circumstance. These however, caught my eye. I purchased the yellow and the black. Wearing the black pair today. Here's what I think: The platform & heel are incredibly high, but doesn't feel like it when you walk. It's quite comfortable & cushioned. I wear a 9.5 M. I ordered a 9M and it fit as perfect as my feet allow (1 foot is 1/2 size smaller than the other). I would definitely recommend this shoe. I'm 5' 6" and this morning, my 6' fiance had to tilt his head up to kiss me. Yay!
