Reviews of Seychelles Women's Beyond Belief Bootie

I ordered the a size 10 army green pair. I have at least three other Seychelles boots in a size 10 and this one was about a centimeter longer than the rest. The suede is beautiful, the soles are sturdy, and the color is perfect for fall. Sadly, these are going back because of the sizing issue. Also, if you have slender calves/ankles, these boots look a bit like duck boots. It would be better suited for someone with thicker legs.

As other reviews mentioned, these can run a little tight so I went up a 1/2 size and that was the right move. The outer sole is a bit stiff but should flex and wear well.

I bought these shoes last fall: I was looking for a snow-friendly, minimalist shoe, and this one fit the bill. Plus, I've had excellent experience with Merrell's shoe quality in the past.

Over the four months or so, I've worn these shoes just about every day, always with socks. What I like about these shoes:

* Lightweight (there's very little to the shoe beyond what you see in the photos)

* My feet don't sweat in them (I can't explain this as the shoe has no obvious venting)

* The shoes don't stink (remember, I've worn these almost every day)

* There's very little between my foot and the ground, just my socks and the thin layer of the shoe.

* No cushioning or arch support (sorta the reason why I bought a minimalist shoe)

I'm neutral on the shoes' appearance. It's not really my style (too earthy), but I'm okay with it.

The one problem area that you'll see mentioned in other reviews (here as well on Merrell's web site) are the laces. Due to friction at the last set of eyeholes, the laces are very close to breaking. So I have four points in the laces such that one of them will break at any time. I measured them at 39", but have so far had no luck finding replacement laces on Merrell's web site. Eventually I'll find replacement laces, they shouldn't have worn out this quickly, and be this much work to find replacements.

I was looking for casual minimalist shoe wear. Having bought and love Merrell's Trail Glove, I thought it would be natural to get casual ware from Merrell. I have been watching prices online. Sorry, but I didn't buy from the big A, but from 6pm.com during a sale for $69. Basically, the shoe works for me. It does appear the thicker sole and non venting upper will provide the warmth needed in cold weather (along with some wool socks). The picture appears to suggest the shoe would ride higher around the ankle, but on my feet, it just barely reaches the base of the ankle. I really wanted a chukka style shoe. This just barely qualifies. While I don't know how they would accomplish this, the upper around the ankle appears and feels a bit unfinished. Somehow, much like other shoes, a padded border around the ankle would be an improvement worth investigating. I'm sure they'll do fine for me. It's just that the finish around the ankle--higher and more built-up, please!--was less than I expected. Since then, I've seen even more minimalist chukka-style casual ware out there I would likely have purchased instead given what I know now.

Toe box is a bit tight for me but broke in to tolerable width. Nice for chilly days bumming around town.

Honest reviews on Merrell Men's Barefoot Orbit Glove Lace-Up

These are very comfortable, lightweight, and stylish. My one complaint is that the laces fall apart within a few weeks. HOWEVER, I chatted with Merrell and they sent me 2 pairs of redesigned laces free and they work great!

This is one of the barefoot shoes that fits a casual look and I love them. Have held up well after a couple of months and I think they look good. Feels like you are walking barefoot ( duh). You won't go hiking with these but for my use they work great and are helping to strengthen my feet.

I intially bought these shoes for work. I assumed these kind of shoes would be great for walking on concrete. They are good as far as being lightweight and comfortable on concrete. However, the main reason I rated it 4* instead of 5* is because the traction and grip on these shoes are terrible. They slip on the bottom when pulling or pushing anything at work. The only other minor issue I have with them is the strings coming untied often(which is commonplace for any lace up work shoe).

The bottom line here for me is these shoes are great for going out shoes and maybe even dress shoes. As far as being great work shoes, they would be good if you were strictly walking, My job involves alot of pushing and pulling, so the traction being that horrible means I'd never wear them to work. So, depending on what kind of shoe you are looking for, this is either a good shoe to buy or a bad shoe. Either way though, the comfort and lightweight aspect alone made it worth the purchasing price to me.

Reviews of BED:STU Men's Innovator Boot

I had been looking at these boots for a while. I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase them. I absolutely love them! While the description says they are black they appear to be more of a gray color which is fine by me. I have purchased boots in the past and wasn't able to wear them for extended periods of time because they began hurting my feet. I wore these all day long the day after I received them and I can honestly say my feet didn't bother me. They have that "broken-in" feel and a good insole which makes them more comfortable. I am thinking about purchasing them in the tan color also. Best boot I have owned.

I typically wear 11 or 11 1/2s. I offered these boots in 11s and I'm exchanging them for 10.5s. Too big. Obviously. Just a friendly warning. Excellent boots though. Very well made and amazing leather.

First, be aware that each pair is uniquely distressed/colored and will appear more of a brownish-grey than black. Also, as other reviews have pointed out, order 1/2 size smaller. I'm usually a 9 1/2, so I ordered a 9 and there is plenty of room and go on easily. What's readily apparent is that these are made wellthere's no stray threads, bad stitching, etc. Also, there is no break-in needed. They were comfortable the entire first day.

I'm very picky and have been trying to find this style boot, with a zipper, at good quality and price around $100 or lower. So far, I'm very happy in my choice of these.

Honest reviews on BED:STU Men's Innovator Boot

Overall, I'm happy with the product, I would warn people that the sizing seems to run a little large, and that it may be a good idea to order about 1/2 size smaller than you usually would. Other than that, they look and feel great.
