Velma Bootie (Women)

These boots are really cute, and SO comfortable. I bought topshop ones that are almost identical to see which I like better, and these are WAY more comfortable. The insoles are really cushiony, and the sole is sort of non-slip, which is nice. They do run a bit large, I ordered a half size down and they're just right, and the same size as all my other boots. My issue with these is how much more pebbled the leather is than the picture shows. It almost makes me question if it's a different boot in the photo. I haven't decided if I dislike it enough to return these, or if maybe the look will improve with wear. I might get another color and see how it looks!

I love the styling of this bootie, it just did not work for my foot. The leather is hard, the toe box is cramped and the area across the arch is minuscule. Positive note...if you can get your foot in the bootie the interior is almost like a memory foam and quite nice. I think that this would work for a narrow foot with a low arch

Love these ankle boots! I generally wear a 7, sometimes a 7.5, and took a 7.5 in these, but they are just a tad roomy, so do run very true to size. They are a perfect all-around bootie. Comfortable, non-confining even with the pointyish toe, and work well with everything. Great purchase!

I have wanted these boots for months, and tried ordering several times (and once ordered an 8, which was too large and had to be returned) only to find that they were out of stock. When Nordie's finally got them in (and sent me an email to alert me) I was on it! I ordered the 7.5 in the Meteor Gray, which, as others have pointed out is really a taupe. I like the color, the style and the overall fit of these shoes. So far I've only worn them with skinny jeans but will likely also wear with leggings - and maybe with a skirt, I just haven't tried that out yet. They are easy to slip on and off - I had seen some reviews from women who said they had a hard time getting the shoe on and that just hasn't been my experience at all. Maybe ladies with wider feet have a more difficult time - I have pretty 'normal' width feet and while the toe box seemed tight-ish at first (though not painful-tight) the leather has stretched and everything fits just as it should. There really was no 'breaking in' period required at all. I am generally between a 7.5 and a 8, and usually buy a 7.5. As I mentioned the 8 was too big (mostly too loose in the ankle - and though I am slim, I don't have super tiny ankles). The 7.5 fit perfectly and to be honest, I may have been able to fit into a 7 but I didn't want to risk it. The 7.5 is roomy but not overly so. The thing that surprised me was the insole or footbed. I wore these without socks a couple of times and it seems like this boot has the kind of footbed that 'molds' to your foot, which was really nice. I think I actually prefer wearing these boots without socks because of this, though of course I will usually wear socks (thin ones) to preserve the interior of the shoe. Overall, this was a great purchase! The boots are hip and comfortable, I like the color (though, really, Kork-Ease - just call it taupe!) and customer service and shipping were very good. I used live chat a couple of times with customer service to check on various things and found the representatives to be very helpful and courteous, which was nice!

I bought these boots last year in black & am so happy to have picked up the brown ones this year. These boots are absolute perfection!! They are perfectly stylish, very, very comfortable & wear well. I walked 10+ miles in the streets of Paris in them & they were as comfortable as wearing sneakers & looked much better! The brown color is rich without being too dark. They run true to size & pair well with jeans & dresses. Buy them & you won't regret it.

Kork-Ease boots are probably the most comfortable and stylish boots I've ever owned! I have the Natalya and now the Velma boots and they are both AMAZING BOOTS. I'm a size 7 or European 37 and these are true to size. I'm somewhat flat footed and struggle with finding shoes that I can be comfortable in all day long. I've worn these to trade shows, on vacation and all around town and they are always comfortable. The material is soft and cushy...no rubbing, breaking in or blisters. Yes, they are pricey, but worth every penny of that investment.
