Naturalizer Women's Medley Ankle Boot Reviews

Naturalizer Women's Medley Ankle Boot,Taupe,8 W US
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

The boots are very attractive. The leather is soft and supple, and they appear well made. I was looking for boots I could wear in winter to help protect from the cold with an extra pair of socks on, as I work on a college campus, and walk from building to building. These didn't work for that purpose. They are one thin layer of leather, no lining, no cushion at the collar, very thin and not at all cushy insole. In short, not cold hardy at all (isn't that what boots are for?), and way too tight fitting, even on my very thin feet, to add an extra pair of socks. They would work, however, for warmer weather wear because they are so un-insulated. A word of caution, though, the insole is very thin and not cushy, so if you do a lot of walking, these may not be a good choice.

These shoes look great, they are a bit lighter than in the picture but still good looking. They are super comfy to walk around or stand in all day. I'm on my feet all day because i work in a shop and my feet never hurt in these. I like that the toe came with a "worn" finish on it, but it's kind of wearing back off (I know that sounds weird). I love the zipper for easy in and out. I highly recommend!

I find that these run a tad large. I wear 10-10.5 normally, I bought the 10 and there is lots of space for my toes. Not so big that I'll send them back, but there's space for thick socks in there.

I really loved the look of these boots but had to return them, they were too tight across my instep. I ware inserts in my shoes these boots have removable insoles, taking them out and replacing them with my custom inserts did not help. I gave them 4 stars because they are nice looking seem to be made well and I believe that they could be comfortable, just not for me.

Honest reviews on Naturalizer Women's Medley Ankle Boot

This is a well made and stylish shoe. It fits true to size, has plenty of room in the toe area and is comfortable for a long day. Clearly this is a "fashion boot" rather than a winter boot. I have enough room in mine to wear a thicker sock but the shoe itself is not lined or waterproofed in any way. The zipper is more of an appearance detail rather than an alternative to tying and untying the laces.

BEWARE IF ORDERING IN BROWN: I ordered the Brown version of this shoe and was sent Coffee Bean. I did not return it because I suspect they are really one and the same. If you look at the current pictures on the Amazon product page you'll see brown, coffee bean and coffee bean leather. The same picture is used for brown and coffee bean. The shoe I was sent was identical to the coffee bean leather picture which was much lighter that I was hoping for. I thought I could darken it with brown shoe polish which made a mess of things so I can't return them now.

The pictures also suggest there is a black and a black leather as two different options. Hard to say if those are really different or not.

I orderd these ankle boots and loved them when I opened the box. BUT the heel area is way to big and my foot was slidding up and down blister maker in process. I even tried thick socks not a wonderful choise for summer but gave it at try anyway. Shoes still way to big. If you have a wide heel area on your foot these shoes would be great for you. But if your heel is narrow like mine not a good fit at all. The shoes run big in all areas so do not order a 1/2 size bigger, if you wear a 9 order a 9 but only if you have a thick heel. I hate they didn't work for me, I was really looking forward to wearing them. Maybe the next pair will work.

My husband really loves chaco shoes and has several pairs. We got these for him because he wanted a pair of closed toed shoes that are cool for the warm months. We thought that since these are canvas they would be cooler than the leather chacos he already has. Unfortunately they haven't been cool at all. He's thinking about having a boot repairman put a couple of rivets in to increase airflow. Very comfortable shoes though and he likes the ankle support.

My husband loves his shoes! He said they are very comfy & they look good with just about any shirt. He finally got away from his teenager looking shoes so I am so glad he found these!

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

One simply cannot overstate the comfort of the Keen Portsmouth. They're like mansions for your feet, and that's just the beginning of the hyperbole. The fact is, these shoes are salvation for your feet. Salvation from discomfort of any kind. From pinching, from corns and callouses, from not being massaged at the end of a hard day of work. Simply the act of buying these shoes will bathe your feet in a previously unimagined luxury that can only be surpassed by wearing them every day and night even to bed. Especially to bed. Your best ladies will thank you. Foreign dignitaries, heads of state, Nobel laureates, scientists, and rock stars will admire you. Assassination attempts will be made against you. Nations will conspire to effect your capture or death. The gods of Olympus will rise up in tumult and marshal the very fabric of the universe to take from you the supreme comfort that you alone possess, for no mere mortal can be let to bask in such glory while on this earth.

And for $65? That's, like, 34% off regular retail pricing. Crazy!

I'm a bartender/manager so i'm on my feet most of the day. These shoes have great traction behind the bar. They are very comfortable with great arch support. I hope these shoes never get discontinued, I plan on wearing these shoes for a long as I can (and continue buying them).

I'm on my third pair of Portsmouths. I find them to be the most comfortable shoe I've ever put on my feet. The only thing keeping them from being perfect is that on all three pairs, the glue where the leather meets the toe-box has deteriorated rather quickly. It starts out as a white residue along the edge of the toe-box on the sides of the shoe and eventually you start seeing a gap there. Luckily for me, I live in a dry climate so water getting into this gap isn't so much of a problem but I can only imagine someone living in a wetter area would soon find their toes wet.

Honest reviews on KEEN Men's Portsmouth Casual Shoe

The rubber sole started to come apart on this pair of shoes after I had worn them for about six months. I went on the Keen website and submitted a claim (which was easy to do) and got a $100 company credit. I have never had a single problem with any other pair that I own. I own six pairs of Keen shoes and will replace with more Keen shoes. They make a great product that is backed up up by great customer service. Why should I buy another brand.

I have found that the size is consistant across the different styles (lace up/slip on/sandals) but they will stretch out a bit with wear. Love Keen shoes!

I've had my Portsmouth for a little over a year now. When I bought them I was trying to get something better, higher quality, and more 'grown up' than the mass-market skate shoes I had worn the past. The style was a little 'crunchy' for my taste at first, but they grew on me. At first, I was quite happy. My feet seemed to stay much drier and warmer than in my old shoes. However, after about a month or so, the laces disintegrated. Not a big deal, they're not super important for this style of shoe. You can call them, and they'll "try and help" get you a new pair, but I just bought some hiking boot laces from a local department store. They've been just fine since.

Now after a year I look at the shoes. I notice that the leather on one of them is starting to come apart at the 'toe crease'. Examining the sole I notice that it's starting to wear through in spots. I expected these shoes to last longer, especially given some reviews that mention them lasting 3-5 years. It could be I got a bad pair, it could be that they're cutting corners, or they just aren't 'what they used to be'. Are they worse than any other shoes I've had? No. In some ways they're better. They're just not the high-quality, long-lasting shoe that many other reviews said they were.

**Update Jun 2013**

I noticed today that the toecaps are starting to come unglued. Like I said before, they've been decent shoes, I've really liked them. I just don't expect them to last that much longer. I'm already shopping for new shoes. I'd also note: I'm pretty sedentary, sit at a desk all day, don't walk around a whole lot.

Buy Clarks Originals Men's Desert Boot

Clarks Originals Men's Desert Boot,Beeswax,9.5 M US
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

These boots are awesome. Very comfortable and look fantastic, wear with jeans and your classy and rugged. In regards to size, make sure you order a size down, because they do run big. I wear an 11 sneaker and wear a 10 for the boot, I could probably go down to a 9.5. Secondly, they are suede and therefore do get dirty very quickly and easily. If you are the type of person who has to have that "fresh" look than I would recommend you go with a darker color than sand. I've found that with a brush and some proper cleaning technique they can retain their luster. One thing I do wish I had done before wearing them out is to put some suede protector spray on them. Hope this review helps!

Desert Boots and Chukka's have quickly become one of the most popular style of boots over the last couple of years. There are literally hundreds of different options out there if your looking for this style boot and the prices can range from roughly $50 all the way up to $400 dollars. With that being said, Clarks Original Desert Boot is easily one of the best of the bunch especially when it comes to getting the most bang for your buck.

I absolutely love this style boot and have over 15 pairs sitting in my closet from companies such as J.Crew, Johnston & Murphy, Frye, Diesel, John Varvatos, Red Wing, Bed:Stu, Original Penguin etc. Out of all the companies I have purchased this style boot from, there are really two that stand out more than the others in regards to getting the most bang for your buck. Those two are Clarks and J.Crew. Both make high quality boots and both keep things simple in regards to the design and that is exactly how I prefer them.

Clarks Original Desert Boot is really the epitome of simple design. No flashy cuts of leather, no funky patina's, just a clean design using classic colors and high quality full grain leather or suede. If you think these are comfortable when you first try them on, wait until you have had a pair for 6 months. These boots become like butter on your feet. In all honesty, that is one of the greatest aspects to this style of boot, they break in and become one of the most comfortable pairs of boots you have ever worn. Out of all the boots I own, its my broken in Chukka's and Desert Boots that are the most comfortable. Some of my Clark Desert Boots are over 4 years old and they are still in amazing shape. In fact, as I stated in regards to comfort, they only getter better with age. If you take proper care of them they will last a very long time.

Bottom line Again there are now hundreds of choices out there for this style boot but very few can match Clarks Desert Boots especially when you consider the price. These are easily one of the best deals out there in regards to mens footwear. If your late to the Chukka/Desert Boot game then what are you waiting for? Every man should have at least a couple pairs in his closet. Clarks Desert Boot is a perfect place to start. The Taupe Suede & Brown Suede are the 2 that I recommend the most. They go with practically everything.

5 Stars!!

I was amazed how comfortable these shoes were right out of the box! I tried them on carpet at first and they felt great, but when I went on my hardwood floors I could really appreciate the rubber gum soles that have made these desert boots so very popular all these years. They feel wonderful on your feet and one can match them with almost anything, from blue jeans to chinos.

NOTE*** I am very glad to other reviewers who have commented on the sizing.

I normally wear a size 10 but went with a size 9-1/2 and they fit perfect! I did have the chance to try on a size 10 on sale at Macy's last weekend before these had arrived and they were big on me so I was happy when the size 9-1/2 arrived today and the fit was perfect, so be sure and order one size down as they DO RUN LARGE.

I am sure I will be ordering another pair soon!

I am completely happy with this purchase. It looks really good and sizing is correct. I got good online discount on it. I am a big fan of Clarks shoes and this purchase from Amazon made it even more satisfactory. I do recommend you guys to buy this pair of shoes.

Really like the look of these boots, but the comfort is not what I have come to expect from Clarks products. The laces do not go high enough up the ankle to secure your foot in place and, for me, if I tie them tightly where the eyelets are, the boots hurt the top of my feet. If I don't tie the laces very tightly, my foot slips around in the heel, gets irritated and blisters. Can not recommend this shoe.
