Size | 7.5
Height | 5'5-5'6
What this member says: $229 (originally $650).
Purchased on November 2022; reviewed on February 2023.
TLDR: I'm obsessed. There are no words for these boots. I was on the look-out for Chelsea boots for MONTHS. Everything I saw was either too edgy or were priced at $800+ and it wasn't enough of a must-have for me to cough up the dollars. Also, my office environment is fairly conservative so versatility was a must. I was a little nervous about buying these are they were final sale from the Stuart Weitzman outlet site. I'd never purchased from the outlet so quality was a big question mark as was sizing. I read through a couple of reviews but I couldn't find any pictures - I took a big leap of faith and decided $230 for a pair of boots was worth risking. And I could not be happier!
FIT: Fit like a glove. I normally have to decide between 7.5 and 8. I went with 7.5 here and the fit was perfect. In fact, I usually have to spend a few days dealing with blisters to break in new shoes. I was surprised to see that there was no break-in period here. Also, because of the block heel, the booties are insanely comfortable! I walk five avenue blocks to my office (it's about a solid 15 minutes of walking) and these are the only non-flat shoes where I'm not crawling on my knees at the end. Plus, the lug sole makes it perfect for rainy weather too. All in all, a fabulous investment.
QUALITY: No complaints here. I pretty much have abused these boots throughout the winter. You can see that there are slight scuff marks up close but honestly there's nothing that's noticeable. Really fantastic quality. Again, I was very nervous about buying something that was final sale from the outlet but it turns out, the worries were all for nought.
STYLE: It's all about versatility here. I wear these to and inside the office; I've worn them on date nights with the husband; and I've worn them to kids' birthday parties. I really can wear them anyway. 10/10 on the style points!,,,
