I wear an 8-1/2 in closed toe shoes, so although Amazon recommended my size as an 8 (those have all been sandals) I got my regular size, and they fit perfectly. They look great, very nice. I’ve worn them around the house and there’s nothing about them that doesn’t fit or is uncomfortable. I can’t wear heels anymore and I’ve looked for a nice dress boot for church, and these are them! They’re a quality made boot, conform to my feet, are easy to put on and take off. They’re a quality value is wonderful, although they’re not leather footwear. The material looks beautiful, and will easily brush off for cleaning when needed. I don’t know about stretching, but I would say these will hold their shape very well. I’m sure that if necessary they’d stretch enough to conform to someone else’s foot, just a tad, with normal wear. I used to have a narrow foot but have worn a medium width for years. I love the shape: they have a pointed toe look but there’s plenty of room because of the perfect fit through the vamp and heel. They offer wonderful support. I absolutely love these, and wish I’d ordered them sooner. I tend to be concerned about ordering closed toe shoes without trying them on but I was right to order my regular half size in a closed toe shoe. I went by my other shoes that are closed and peep toe, all 8 1/2s, even one size nine, and also by the chart measurement. If you’re a regular 8 1/2 don’t be afraid to order your size. And these look small on my foot too! So dressy and neat, with a little extra something in the straps and tassels that decorate the nice, soft fabric. LifeStride makes good shoes still, a good thing to know. The material, btw, has the look and feel of a suede almost, but smoother than suede. What a nice pair of boots! I am so pleased! I tried them with thin socks so I know they’ll fit the same with stockings. And there are comfort foam pieces under the inner soles of the heel and the ball of the foot which feels really good. Perfect in every way!!! Update after wearing: great pair of boots, looks very nice, got great compliments on them. They feel so good I ordered another style from LifeStride today, a lower heel, casual shoe bootie and can’t wait to get those! Read more
They fit great. I ordered a wide but if you have very wide feet they may be snug. Dancing around the kitchen to break them in but they are very comfortable. They do have a very slick sole so they are definitely shoes to be careful in. Read more
Nice, snug boot. The left one fit ok but the right was just a bit too tight to safely keep them and wear them in. And at $70, too expensive. Speaking of the price, they are not a quality boot, more of a thin material, man made type. A shoe I would find at WalMart and not Nordstrom Rack. I gave it 4 stars because they would work for a special occasion for the first few times wearing them. Might be worth it. But I can't see them lasting very long for anyone wanting to wear them a lot/often. The design with the 3 pleather stripes and the tassel give it a classy look. Again, for wearing a few times. Just can't stomach keeping them without them being perfect...at that price. Read more
Love, love these booties!!! Based on some of the reviews I wasn’t expecting much but I loved the style. So I ordered them just based on that. I thought “I don’t have to actually walk around, I can just sit down while wearing my beautiful boots” When they arrived I tore open the package, got rid of all the annoying paper stuffing and put them on. I took a couple of steps and the right one felt great. The left one felt odd and it hurt when I took a step. Terrific I had just purchased beautiful sitting shoes. When I took them off I noticed that the left shoe still had the cardboard shape support still in place. (Hand to the face emoji) I took it out and put the boots back on and didn’t take them off until late that night. No pain! Ladies these are the most comfortable booties I’ve ever worn!! They’re so comfortable I just ordered another pair in black. No breaking in required!! You’re going to love them!! (just make sure you take out the cardboard shaper thingy.) Read more
These boots look great. They were packaged well and came earlier than expected. I was excited to try them on as I bought them for a black dress. They are NOT for the wide width'd foot. I managed to get the boots on but I need to prance around my living room to stretch them out a bit before I attempt a whole day in them. I would return them but they just look so good. I encourage the wide width ladies to stay far away from these. Read more
Super cute and I love the tassel! I had not noticed the tassel when viewing the product online. The zipper was easy to pull up. Size is right on! I found them a bit uncomfortable when I first wore them but that quickly changed once they were broken in. Read more
I have a wide foot and a problem walking. But these are the most comfortable, easy to wear immediately, boots. I've ever had. I love lifestride! Read more
Boots look awesome but are soooo tight. I am a straight up 7 and I could not get my foot in the boot without forcing it. I have returned for the 7 wide….stay tuned and I’ll let you know how it works out 🤞🏼 Read more
