Chooka Top Solid Rain Boot RED
" These are CUTE little rain boots. The adjustable buckles add charm and are useful because I can imagine these boots would be very roomy on someone with thin calves. Mine are 13.5" around and the Chookas fit well over jeans and socks with room to spare! I wear a size 8.5 and size 8 Chookas fit me. These are light weight and have just a slight smell of rubber which is sure to fade with time. The only reason I did not keep these is the 10" shaft height, on my 5'6" leggy frame the boots were not tall enough and came up to the bottom of my calves. I need more of my pants covered because I am exposed to rain on my bus commute.

143 Girl Stormee Plaid Rain Boot RED/NAVY
" I looove these, I wear size 8.5 and the size 8 rain boots fit great. Originally bought the Chooka Top Solid boots but the 10" shaft came up too short on my 5'6" frame. At the store I found the Stormee and the 14" shaft is perfect. My calves measure 13.5" and these boots have inches of space to spare: thick socks + jeans + bigger calves would definitely all fit in the Stormee. I do wish these had a buckle so I could cinch them a bit, but they are rain boots after all and fashion is not the primary focus. My only concern is the acrylic(?) material they are made of, I couldn't find other reviews of these online to give me an idea of their longevity.

Bandolino Jolly Jo Menswear Flat in Grey
" I purchased these shoes in grey after a long and happy run with the black leather Jolly Jo. These go with all of my work pants (tan, grey, black, navy) and are comfy. I do add a leather insole to them because I find the synthetic lining starts to peel up and is also not the most comfortable during summer when I need some absorption.
Note: because of the way my big toes apparently stick up I needed to order up a half size in these shoes because the toe box felt shallow to me.

Bandolino Jolly Jo Leather Flat in Black
" I owned these shoes for a couple of years and wore them to work a couple of times a week. The thick leather wore gorgeously, they look expensive, the buckle is not "too much" and gives a nice finished look to the shoe. I got rid of these recently only because they had stretched and made dashing for my morning bus a little difficult.
Reason I have not replaced these: while the thick leather wore well for years it did aggravate my tailor's bunions (the bunions on the pinky toes) and I would have red marks over those joints at the end of the day. I had sized up to an 8.5 in order to make way for my big toes which tend to feel pinched in "shallow" shoes. I am looking for a replacement work flat that is more flexible for my bunionettes and has more room for my big toes.

Crown Vintage Weekender Wedge Sandal in Red
" This is the PERFECT shade of red. I love the soft leather and the slight wedge heel which is cushioned. I ordered a size 8.5 because that is what I wear in flats...and they were a little long. Duh! In sandals I wear an 8. Tried these on in size 8 at the store and yep, true to size.
Reasons I didn't keep these: ankle strap felt awkward and slightly constricting when walking; boyfriend thought the ankle strap looked "weird and unflattering" from the back (with jeans this would not be an issue and the sandals would look super cute).

Corso Como Sum Sandal in White
" LOVE the soft leather lining and the breathable insole with actual padding under the ball of the foot. I think the look of the patent white/camel combo is chic. I was on a summer-long search for new flip flops and these are IT.
My minor concerns: thin sole means I can't recommend these for an all day trip (like Disneyland); true to size but the edge of my big toe almost goes over the side of the sole (maybe my toes are kinda weird); because of all the leather I do wonder if these will stretch out. Overall these are a KEEP.

" I wear a size 8.5 and that is consistent with the Bandolino Jolly Jo shoe. I now own 3 pairs: petrol suede, black leather and the grey menswear.
These are my favorite office shoes because they look well made, the buckle doesn't make noise when I walk and the sole is supportive and cushioned. I have tailor's bunions on my pinky toes and these shoes do not pinch or rub.
The only negative I find in these shoes is the man made synthetic insoles, but that it easily fixed with a thin leather insole such as those made by Tacco.
