Everyday Chelsea Boot (Women)

This is a well-made and attractive bootie. The almond color is exactly what I was looking for, although the leather was a little more unfinished than expected. I am returning them because the fit is rather odd - wide in the heel, low across the arch and narrow through the toe-box and at least a 1/2 size short. They slipped around on my heels but were crushing my arch and toes from side to side. I wear a size 7. I tried these on without socks or tights. Overall, if you have narrow feet these might work for you, but consider sizing up for length. I can't recommend them for those with wide feet or high arches.

I loved this boot, however, I was hoping for it to be an everyday boot but because I think it’s so narrow it would take too long to break in. I’m usually an 8.5 in closed toed shoes, but because of the pointed toe I ordered an 8.5 and a 9. The 8.5 squished my toes and the 9 was slipping off the back but still too tight. It made no sense. Just a little off mark in my opinion, back they go.

Color- gorgeous! Leather-soft and good quality! Length is fine, true to size, but that width!!! So narrow through the toe box! My feet were going numb when I was wearing these around the house! I hate when brands tell you to just go up a half size for more width…. That does nothing for width! These shoes are the perfect example… for one they don’t make 11.5 so I couldn’t go up a half size, but if I did they’d be too long and still too narrow. Wide widths would really be helpful here! Because of this they’re going back!

When I saw these shoes, I immediately fell in love with the design. They looked slim, sleek and modern and I got compliments the first day I wore them to work. These shoes run small and narrow. I have a small foot and some size 5's do not fit me, but this size 5 was really tight so I would definitely size up. I've had these shoes for around 4 months and in the right size, they are comfortable. The inner cushion of the shoes are comfortable and have more cushion than I'm used to with shoes in this style. I walk a lot because I commute to work using public transportation and these shoes are great for riding the bus because the soles don't slip. The heel has worn out quickly but all of my heels wear out quickly. The major con is that the soles come apart. After my second wear the corner toe started to peel and the second toe did as well and eventually at the backs of the heels. I've never had this issue with shoes and considering how much they are, I would expect that they would stay in place. I know Nisolo is an ethical company so I can support paying more for better work practices, but please do something about how the soles come together with the rest of the shoe! For all the pros of this shoe, the soles are a major issue which out weights most of the pros.
