Lucky Brand Women's Basel Ankle Bootie

Comment

FIT: I am a true size 10. 99% of my shoes are size 10. However, the size 10 in these was comically small. It fit more like an 8.5. I actually thought the shoes were mislabeled at first. I ended up going with an 11, which was a LOT bigger than the 10, even from just looking at it. I wish there was a 10.5. COMFORT: I bought these for a 2-week trip to Europe because I wanted comfortable shoes that were not tennis shoes. These were pretty comfortable walking around on cobblestone all day. Several days in, my arches started hurting, and I started to notice the cushioning was minimal. However, that probably would have been true with any shoe because we were walking a lot. DURABILITY: Durability is lacking, which is why I rated the product so low. I took these and a pair of Superga sneakers (similar to Converse). I wore each pair I took about half the days of our trip, so I ended up wearing these only around 7 full days.The leather became worn on the heel area, and not in an attractive way, see picture. Also the soles are rubber and wore very, very quickly, as you can see in the picture. I am upset these issues arose after a week of wear, even if I was walking a lot. OVERALL: A comfortable boot for casual and sporadic wear. The durability is lacking. I expected more from a $100 boot from Lucky. Also, the sizing issues made for kind of a wonky fit. I would have liked a 10.5.

The fit is off. The toe box is cramped even though I ordered my usual size and wear think sock liners rather than full socks. I purchased these in October of 2018. It is now February of 2019 and these shoes are done. The heel material peels nonstop. I found myself sneaking off into the bathroom during the day at work to keep gluing it down. The "leather" also cracks and peels off the shoe. I am calling it "leather" because it appears to be a thin layer of plastic rather than actual leather. I have had to keep covering all the peeled spots with shoe polish to try to get a little more wear out of these. The quality of these is abysmal. I do not recommend.

Product fit well. I bought the black in 6.5. The leather has a nice soft buttery feel. I conditioned them with a leather polish to add more protection to the leather. The heel is the perfect height to be femine but comfortable for walking and all day wear. Will update in a few months on how well they wear. The ankle opening is a nice size too ... Not to large so I doesnt create an awkward gap but just enough. If a larger ankle opening is need I would recommend the lucky Breeha boot.

These are wonderful basic boots with a bit of a heel so good with long or short jeans and not uncomfortable for walking or standing. I wear them all fall and winter. I have two pairs, black and brown and just love them. I have a wider foot and toe box and normally wear 8.5 medium. I needed to size up to a size 9 in these and I stretched the toe box out for a few days by stuffing them with socks and then they were perfect. I love that they are real leather so stretch and conform to your foot. If you have a regular width or wider toe box just size up 1/2 a size for ultimate comfort. I will buy these boots again and again. I treated mine to they repel water and they have been great for 2 seasons now. I dont wear them in deep snow or pouring rain because that of course would ruin them.

Let me start by saying that when I bought my first pair of these over a year ago, they were my favorite pair of boots. And they still are a daily wear shoe for me through the fall and winter months. That said, they simply dont have the durability I would expect from a $100 pair of shoes. Within the first week I started seeing nicks in the leather on the toe box - if I accidentally kick something they dont just scuff, the leather actually slices and starts to peel apart! And after a few months of wear, the heels started to split and fray. Compared to other boots I own, they simply dont seem to last. My pictures show a new boot next one after a year of use, and some of the nicks and dings visible on the older boot. Ive recently purchased a pair of Kensie boots from Amazon, which are virtually identical but 1/3rd the pricetag. If they fall apart in a year I wont be so unhappy!
