STQ Women's Combat Boots Lace up Ankle Booties

I'm a very picky shoe shopper. It took me a week to decide on these boots as opposed to several other pairs that were almost identical. These boots are everything I wanted, right down to the detail in the sewing and decorative touches. I was especially surprised at how they needed absolutely no break-in period; the boots actually fit my feet absolutely perfectly, and my feet are pretty wide. On that note, they accommodate every foot shape; I wear a 7.5 in most shoes, but I probably could have gotten away with a size 7 if I had known how perfectly designed the bridges of the boots were. They are also incredibly comfortable; I wore them all day today on my college campus and at work, and when I took them off, I didn't have that "feeling" of taking off your tight, uncomfortable shoes at the end of the day. If I could sleep in them, I probably would. The soles appear to be solid rubber, which allows for full shock absorption and makes it easy to walk in them all day long. I will likely purchase the other two colors available, just to have! I am seriously in love with these boots and will probably wear them until they literally fall off my feet. I could not have been happier with the quality and level of detail I received for such a low price. Before you even consider buying other boots, buy these first. You absolutely will not regret it.

I wear a size 7 1/2 shoes but in boots I get a 8 fits perfect. Love them so comfortable.

Pros:Absolutely gorgeous and didn't have any problem walking with it even for my first walk with it. Nothing hurt and I didn't feel the urge to take it off. It's comfy, light, and warm. Also, I'm a 6.5 and I ordered a 6.5, I used a regular pair of fall socks and there's still room if I want to wear thicker socks! I am always confused whether I have to order 6.5 or 7 when it comes to boots because of the thick winter socks situation, but for this one, 6.5 definitely is the perfect size, they considered the winter socks and made room for it. :)Cons:Zipper is janky, it doesn't slide well. I'm probably not gonna use it even though it's probably easier to use it. I also don't want to wear it out. Last picture is just after one use, Idk if it was there before I put it on, I didn't really check it.Material feels cheap, so I don't know how long this boots will last. It's already creasing so I also don't know how long the form will last... (Pro) The sole and the heel looks great though and it does have a lot of traction.

I purchased these boots for my trip to Ireland, and they did not disappoint! I put them on the morning of my trip, so I did not have a chance to truly break them in. I wore them for around 14+ hours a day, and they never once bothered my feet. These boots also provided more traction walking over the wet trail at the Cliffs of Moher than my aunt's $90 Academy hiking shoes (she fell more than once). I never once had sore or wet feet. I highly recommend these for your trip, especially if you want to feel stylish.

I did a lot of research before buying these and wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only were these boots fashionable, but they were unbelievably comfortable. I didn’t have time to wear them in and took a risk taking them to Morocco and Spain where I did A LOT of walking on uneven surfaces in the middle of winter. They were VERY comfortable. Not a single blister or sore spot, which blew my mind. Best inexpensive shoe purchase ever. It should be noted that the zipper is decorative and not actually functional, making these “slip on” boots, but I had no trouble getting them on. They also fit true to size but they don’t have warm lining as I imagined they would, so wear wool socks if wearing them in cold weather. On the up side, because they’re not lined, I can likely wear these during mild Miami “winters” without my feet getting hot. Hope this helps!

Poorly made, after one month the sole and heel detached while taking them off.. Very disappointed because they're pretty cute shoes.

This boot is cute and comfy and pretty easy to put on and take off although you do need to tie and untie them. I wore them with bootcut yoga pants with back pockets because that’s my go-to for pants and I did a site visit and they were supportive in the woods on uneven terrain. Clogs are not good for that and have no ankle support so I got these to replace my clogs in Vermont fall weather. I wanted something more for every day than hiking boots, like for minor woods walks and hiking, and I wanted it waterproof which I guess these are. The heel is low which is helpful for physical activity & site work. They’re not as sturdy as a workboot but are decent for crossover with meetings and errands and site work, which neither hiking boots nor clogs are good for there. Really it has to be a boot & I needed something that works with leggings and with bootcut pants. My tall boots don’t work with bootcut and you need a bit of ankle height for shoes to work best with leggings, I think. My engineer boots are a bit scrappy out of the field. Heels or fancy shoes may be an exception but clogs look weird with leggings. I always have heels in the car for that pinch formal/court appearance. But tall boots are annoying to take off and on and don’t crossover well to regular pants that aren’t skinny. I have ankle boots that are more for fashion but those have heels and feel unstable & silly for site work. It’s always a conundrum for me bc I’ll have meetings starting at 6am and going to midnight and I’m in the woods, then I’m in a board room, then I’m presenting at a hearing, then I’m in desk work, then running errands, and usually it’s hard to find one pair of shoes for everything. It gets even harder when winter comes and we’re digging out of 6 feet of snow followed by say a court appearance. Maybe it’s a rare conundrum for development attorneys residing in the tundra northeast but I don’t think so, I think women and footwear is always an issue because we DO & produce and create so much in the world & have to do it with both iron muscle and grace. Anyway these fit the bill for several buckets on my Tuesday schedule so that made me happy. I really only had to change shoes once for a late night public presentation where I had to wear a dress and I didn’t slip or fall when we were investigating a storm drain situation in the early morning.
