Autan Zip Loafer (Women)

I love the shoes, great color and very comfortable. I was disappointed in the tiny scratch on one of the shoes. As I did not want to go through the time and effort to return the shoes for another pair, I touched it up with shoe polish. But, I should not have had to do that for the price I paid for the shoes.

I’ve been looking for something that is actually more of a “shoe boot” than what most people think of as a “bootie”, which includes all manner of ankle boots. I love the no-nonsense styling, the smooth high quality leather, and the black wood sole and heel, which is much better looking than the tan, bumpy crepe soles that are so common. What’s not visible in the photos is that the back heel is angled. This is a cool feature; it looks good and helps prevent scuff marks. I ordered both the sz 40 and 41 and kept the 41. The insole length of the 41 is about 10 1/4” and the width is about 3 1/4” (but this measurement was taken on the outside since I couldn’t get the tape to lay correctly that far inside the shoe). I am generally a medium width and the sz 41 felt absolutely perfect on, both in length and width. Some however, may think it a bit narrow. All in all, I am very happy with these shoes and they are so comfortable!

I am so happy with the quality, color and design of this boot. The sole is a nice detail, not clunky looking and a very beautiful wood grain looking small heel with the back of the heel beveled. Finding the right shoe size is always tough for me. I usually wear a 7 1/2-8. But based on reviews ordered the 9US/40EU I am going to order the 10US/41EU for comparison sake. The 9 is snug but I do not know if they stretch after wear. Very happy and would purchase the blue and black if I did not already have those in a different boot.
