Promise Waterproof Lace-Up Boot (Women)

So I never write reviews. Ever. But I just wanted to say that the advice to moisturizer the leather 100% fixed the squeaking. When they arrived I loved the look, they're super comfortable but as soon as UI started walking around I couldn't stand how squeaky they were. Like an abnormal amount of noise. I was sad I would have to return them then I jumped on the reviews and saw that the squeaking was a known problem. I conditioned the leather all over the shoe and now they don't make a peep and I'm keeping them. Just wanted to pass along the advice that moisturizing works!

These are cute, however they are tight (I don't have wide feet, just average width) and they are advertised as leather, but they are NOT. I took them to a cobbler tO get them stretched and they told me they weren't genuine leather. If you look closely, the "color" is described as "black leather", but the tag attached to the actual boot says "Echo Leather" which is another way to say "Eco Leather" (i.e. vegan leather or fake leather). I'm disappointed because the description says "leather upper". I returned them after leaving the cobbler. If you don't mind fake leather and you have narrow feet, you'll love them. Otherwise, stay clear!

(This is an update to a previous review) I went ahead and applied leather conditioner to the boots and the squeak disappeared immediately. I imagine just wearing them for a while would accomplish the same thing. They’re such a cute style, comfortable, too, and I’m very happy it was so easily fixed.

Other than the obvious squeaking, which should be able to be quieted with leather conditioner, the boot is super comfy. It does run a little small, but so do most boots. I wear a 10-10.5 irl and got an 11 in these and they fit perfect. Love the side zip, the shaft height, and chunky sole. Great look. Don’t know if I would’ve paid full price, cuz of the squeak, but def worth the sale price if I decide to keep.

I just purchased these boots and can confirm they are a bit squeaky. The upper is leather, not a textile, so there is a possibility that conditioning it really good will fix it. I hesitate to do that because if it doesn’t fix it, I will be stuck with squeaky boots. I’m going to call Nordstrom and ask if they would still guarantee them if I go that route. Another reviewer said they run narrow, and that is also true, but they fit me well, and I assume will stretch out with wear. I should add that the squeak seems to be coming from the top, where the tongue and boot meet. The style is really cute, and I feel like they have good arch support. They are the perfect combat boot, if they stop squeaking. An internet search brought up fixes for different types of squeaks, and this particular one is supposed to be helped by conditioning them at home or at a cobbler. They say it usually goes away on its own with wear.
