Cross straps too large and floppy
These are really hot boots and couldn't wait for them to arrive. I was concerned that there was no way to adjust the cross straps because of the zipper but decided to give them a try. I wear a 9.5 and so ordered a 9 and 10 since half sizes were not available. The 10 fit the foot but the straps gapped about an 1.5 around my calve looking silly - way too big. The straps on the 9 fit a little snugger but the footbed was too small. They assume if you have a large foot, your calves are large too. I'm 5'9 and 140 and on the thin side wearing a size 6. If they only had made the straps adjustable, I would have kept them. Will be sadly returning.

Lovely and comfortable
I have wanted these boots for a long time and finally purchased a pair. I wear a size 5 1/2 but the size 6 is fine with an added inner sole. These boots are beautifully finished inside and out. The two inch heel gives just enough height without crippling the wearer. As with anything purchased from this website they arrived in lovely packaging. The only issue was that since they ship directly from the manufacturer, there was no tracking provided. That said, I did receive them within 5 days of order. I am very pleased with my purchase!

Gorgeous, delicate boots
These boots are stunning. Very unique, I wear these to the office and on my days off. Very comfortable, true to size. I have a wide calf, and these fit, but just barely, so if you have a very wide calf, these may not fit you.I took off one star because these are a bit delicate; better suited for walking on sidewalks, not pebbled trails!

Gorgeous!
These boots are made by Bordello, and based on original 19th century shoes. They're well made for what they are, and my one complaint is that there is a zipper... the buttons are functional, but I imagine the zipper is for convenience and to cut down on wear and tear. Still, they are gorgeous, and actually velvety not that short nap velvet finish that's almost suede. The box they come in is also adorable, really well done.

I bought myself these boots for Christmas and planned on removing the bow! Well when I received them in their 'bordello' box I actually hollered out loud with joy at how BEAUTIFUL these boots are!!! The picture does not do them justice. I LOVE them WITH the bow too!!!
