I want to love these boots! The leather is amazing. They look GORGEOUS. I want them all! So... I saved and purchased a sz 9 women's last year and they were HUGE. The heel area has a significant gap and I felt like I was walking in clown shoes. This year, I decided to risk it again and purchased an 8. Unfortunately, I could barely get my feet in. The toe area was extremely tight and just one circuit in my living room was extremely painful. I am consistently a 9 in my footwear and am so confused that THESE 9s were huge and also confused that just one sz down would be unwearable in comparison. They're phenomenal boots and, if they fit, I believe you'll love them. Sadly, I'm currently waiting on a refund and a longer journey towards the ultimate boot.

I have these from a few years ago. I loved them to death and needed to add additional inserts because the shoe didn't come with much padding. It looks like these have a much better sole, but I'm waiting for these to come out in black before I buy another pair!

I simply love these shoes and the way this company does business

Well made. Love the thick sole. Definitely need some breaking in. They run a little large but work well with thick socks. Worth the sale price. Love the look!

Big bulky, hardy shoe. The vibe they have is similar to Doc Martens. I'm typically a 7.5, but am developing a bit of a bunion/wife foot. I ordered the 8s. When I first tried them on the felt really tight and my feet hurt a bit. But ever since then I've been fine. They did give me a blister when I walked for miles in NYC one day, but I walked for miles. I really like the sturdiness of the boot. I wasn't sure I would. I've really like the look of oliberte's former thin soles and the hand stitched seams, however my feet feel really supported in these shoes. These are my fourth pair of oliberte shoes. I love them all.

Just what i was looking for: good support;lightweight; easy to get on and off; and spiffy lookin too!

I've been waiting and waiting for these to arrive. So excited! The good: they're gorgeous! Well crafted. Standing in them feels dreamy (love those Vibram soles!) Buuut...theyre kinda HUGE. I'm consistent sz 9. These have a major feel slip and the soles, when walking, are clunky. The tie area and sides fjr well so I'm sure an 8 would be too small, but the heel is super roomy and an issue for a non-wibyer boot that I don't want to "sock up" . I might add a heel tab inside as I want to wear these everyday. So..yes, amazing, but...unsure of sizing.

I'd love to see these on a model!! I've got two pairs of the Oliberte already & absolutely love them!! I'm really excited for these new ones.

Amazing!!! The leather is so beautiful and I can walk in these all day. Love love love!!

I really like them! I am a size 8.5 and sized up size 9 and they fit perfect!
