Worst shoe purchase I think I have ever made (and I have purchased a LOT). I have owned Aerosoles before and loved them, same goes for knee high heeled boots, and even wedges, so my review is not without prior experience and opinions on each. I ordered these because they are supposed to have a wide calf. I have worn them now for a few months (probably a good 6 or 7 times), and usually for several hours at a time. Here is my breakdown:
- The "Wide Calf" isn't that much wider than normal boots, unless you unzip a secondary zipper, which is super unflattering to walk around with undone.
- The ankles are WAY too wide which makes them annoyingly uncomfortable. They slide down and bunch just above the ankle bone, which causes the man-made material on the inside to rub against your leg if you aren't wearing thick socks. This slouching affect also causes the zipper of each boot to rub against the zipper of the other boot, which has caused fraying on my pair already after only a few months). Even if you pull them up as high as you can, there is still an awkward slouchy bunching around the ankle (and they slip down in under 5 steps).
- The sole doesn't support the arch at all, and the way the heel sits it feels almost like you are standing on your toes, with your heels resting on a brick (hard edge and all).
- The shoe itself doesn't fit the foot very well either. I have to wear thick socks when I wear them to minimize the sliding of my foot in the shoe and the rubbing of the poorly constructed sheath on my legs.
I really should have paid more mind to the negative reviews I read before purchasing, shame on me. Hopefully you don't make the same mistake.
