Kenneth Cole REACTION Men's Desert Sun-Rise

التعليق

These are damn sweet, and inexpensive - but use the grey-colored laces that come with the shoes. I bought these to replace worn down grey Varvatos Hipster chukka boots that I think might have been discontinued. These are actually nicer and a third of the price, so I bought two pair. Already had someone ask me where I bought my shoes because he had been looking too. Proudly told him Amazon...

My husband love them. He usually wears a 7 1/2 but based on other reviews i was so confuse about what size was going to be a perfect size for him so i ask for help to see if they run true to size or big. One people recommend me to go with his regular size and i received two answers about to order a half size down because of theyre own experience. By the end i chose to order him a size 7 and im so happy because they fit perfectly on him and look very nice, when he saw the box that said size 7 he said "but im always a 7 1/2 in all" and i was like o god just try them on first

I recently ordered the Kenneth Cole REACTION Desert Sun Chukka Boot in the color "Taupe Suede." Even though the sizing was great, I usually wear 11s, it is obvious from that picture that the color of the boots were not the ones I ordered. I received a pair of boots that resembled the Olive Suede instead of Taupe Suede. Extremely disappointed, beware all future orders!!

Sizing: I am aware of Kenneth Coles sizing having had purchased black oxford dress shoes from them 8 years ago. So this one fit as expected: meaning they run very large. I wear size 9D in New Balance 1400s. I got these in a size 7.5. I have normal size D width feet but these feel a little snug and cramped in the toe area. This is due to the pointier style. Although the length feels a little shorter on the inside of the shoe, the shoe is slightly longer on the outside. I noticed this when walking up steps: my toe kept catching the next step causing me to trip because the shoe is longer than what I am used to. Not a fan of this. Pros: Low profile sole. Low profile chukka (depending on your own preference could be con). Actually hits the ankle / heel area at the same place as the New Balance 1400 sneakers. I like the dark brown color. Comes with 2 laces: color matching dark brown laces and another set of gray / light taupe laces. Cons: 1. Sole is not durable. Worn only around the house for about 2 hours (wood and carpet only) to test fit. The inside corner of the right heel has broken away leaving the rubber-ish sole part now flaking away even faster like a chewed pencil eraser. Cant imagine how its going to hold up on sidewalks and streets. 2. Suede is also of bad quality. Listed as "imported." Kenneth Cole will write several lines in the description about how he used a truck and models to start his business in the 80s but cant write "Leather and man made textile made in China." Suede is split leather and although it might not be waterproof, you can tell the quality of suede by seeing if a single drop of water will bead or just just soak through and stain. Even without any treatment real quality suede will bead water at least for a few seconds. This does not. It immediately soaks through and causes an ugly stain. I am not against China but it is known for their hazardous leather manufacturing processes that are unregulated. Questionable materials and chemicals could have been used. 3. Lost faith in Kenneth Cole as brand. As mentioned in reason #2. But I purchased this Kenneth Cole Desert Sun Chukka at the same time as the Kenneth Cole Brace Horse Chukka in the same size. The Brace Horse Chukka is an inch longer. Also although marketed as "leather" again, the noxious fumes and the scratch that it arrived with shows that the leather used was some sort of bonded leather polyurethane type deal. The scuffed part that it arrived with looks like cardboard. I am trying to eliminate petroleum based products and harsh chemicals in my life and when a company is not transparent it makes trying to live healthy even harder. Wish the heel of the right sole didnt chip away while I was testing the shoe for size inside my house on wood floors and carpet. Otherwise this would have gone straight back too. I really like the design but poor materials, horrible durability and questionable toxicity of this shoe leaves me wanting to warn other potential customers who are concerned about such things.
