The Stnley

OMG THESE ARE AMAZING!!! These have become my absolute favorite shoes (and I have a LOT of shoes). They are SUPER comfortable. The arch support and insoles provide great support, and feel like I'm walking on supportive marshmallows (in the best way). The high-top style provides great ankle support as well, and are flexible enough for very comfortable biking, walking, and hiking. The soles are nice and non-slippy on all kinds of surfaces, rain or shine. I like that I can customize the snug-ness by either putting the zipper up/down and/or tightening the laces. They are also SUPER stylish and look unlike anything I have in my collection--kind of euro-hiker meets sneaker. As others have mentioned, they are hard to get on and off for the first couple of wears, but even a few days in and they are already much easier (and the loops on the top and back make the process much easier). I typically wear a women's size 8, and the men's 7/women's 8.5 is perfect. i have the black orca color with the brownish sole, and LOVE the black and dark grey accents (it's mostly black with a grey sheen on the upper part).

One of the lace clasps broke off literally the first day i wore it. Worst shoe purchase i have ever made.

First of all, these shoes are an experience. They get more comfortable as they warm up by your body temperature. Very pleasant to walk in. Once you manage to put them on, that is. I was hoping that they will stretch out and in time it will be easier to put them on. However, I didn't get the chance to see if that will be the case. The shoes were delivered on Oct. 7, 2021. My teen child wore them to school thrice, I wore them twice when it was slightly chillier -- we wear the same size shoes, 6-6.5. This morning, while my child was walking to school, one of the little metal elements holding the shoelaces popped out. There were a few of reasons why I agreed to pay more than $200 for these shoes: they are vegan, they seem to be good quality, and they look good. Sadly, only the first and the last of my expectations were met in real life.

My feet are wide and I have a flexible flat foot with bunions. For this reason, I size up 1/2 size, which worked for me with this boot. I don't know why everyone complained about how hard these were to get on and off -- took me maybe 30 seconds to get them on the first time, but then I have small ankles so maybe that helped. These shoes were so comfortable I don't want to take them off. They are just what I wanted for walking the dog in the park, and visiting my kids in Seattle and Utah, where there may be rain or snow.

Getting these puppies on my feet almost gave me a coronary! But once they were on, Oh. My. Gawd! I have all sorts of foot issues and these are incredibly comfortable and supportive. Dare I say, better than my Hoka? They are a TAD easier to get on each time you try. The secret is a long shoe horn. I would have given a 5 star overall except for the difficulty in getting these bad boys on my feet.

Took 15 minutes to get them on! Too hard! Have to return.

Update: Officially in love with these! They definitely loosened up in regards pulling them on, so don’t let that deter you from snagging a pair of these!

Cant tell how these cool looking shoes fit because I couldnt get them on- too narrow opening to get over my foots

I ordered this boot because I loved the style. In person the style is super cool but it is a struggle getting your foot in the shoe. I has a neoprene sock that is vert hard to get your foot into. I returned the boots for that reason.

These are exactly as expected. I usually wear a size 9, so I was a little concerned that there are only half sizes available (9.5 or 10.5). I went with the 9.5 because 10.5 seemed like it would be way too big, even with winter socks. The 9.5 is perfect. It may take some getting used to the lacing. I thought they would be difficult to take off, but it was surprisingly easy. I haven't tested these in wet yet, but there's a ton of rubber so I think that will be fine. I can't yet speak to warmth.
