“I ordered the Style 500 as I thought they would break in faster but they ended up being too short and too hard for my high instep to get into. I ordered what was considered an 8 US. I gave them to my daughter who wears a US 7.5 and she loves them. I ordered another pair in and 8.5 and they seem to be fine. As far as the boots go, they are beautiful and versatile.”
“I keep hoping to love them but they are slightly stiff and uncomfortable. I have worn them numerous times but not often enough to have "broken them in". My daughter has this same style and I tried them on and they were very comfortable but hers have been worn regularly. I could use a bigger toe box. I have even used shoe stretchers with the special spray. Unfortunately, they didn't stretch a great deal. They are a challenge to get on and off. I keep hoping that I can tolerate them until they are more worn. They are a super quality and practical boot but I'd have given them 5 stars if they were easier to break in.”
