Reviews of ANDREW MARC Men's Greenwich Boot

ANDREW MARC Men's Greenwich Boot,Tobacco,9.5 D US
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

The shoe looks as good as it is in pictures. The quality of materials used also appears good, but I would expect nothing less than an almost $200 shoe (list price).

But it falls short of my expectations on 2 counts

1. It is difficult to get on (to do with the way shoe is designed, in-spite of laces), stiff, and not comfortable to wear over long periods (a few hours of outing). Maybe it will break-in after some time I can only hope so.

2. The soles are slippery, and while there has been an attempt made to stick some patches under the soles to fix this problem, it does not help much. Also, one of the patches is slightly overlaid on the side of the heal, which is clearly a quality control issue.

For a supposedly designer shoe, I am afraid, it is not just good enough.

i am a very particular person. so much so, that its frustrating for me to shop, because i can find a basic flaw in almost anything i see. and i cant help but redesign everything i see or buy, and im constantly asking myself why they didnt make it that way, because it wouldnt have been any more expensive.

so.... i could make a change or two to these shoes to make them even better, but i still think theyre great.

i especially like the comfort factor, theyre just a touch dressy, or high end casual, but they feel alot like the old favorites even after only about an hour on my feet.

I have owned these boots for about 3 months, and recently had to repair them as one of the shoes became detached from the base.

The shoes look great and fit well, but, as they can be uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time and are apparently not well suited for extended use, I would not recommend them.

Honest reviews on ANDREW MARC Men's Greenwich Boot

This is a handsome boot and I was happy with it until the sole started to come off after only six months. The sole is glued on, not sewn, and this boot's failure illustrates the problem with glued soles. For this price I expect higher quality workmanship.

this is my first pair of ankle boots and i lime them a lot. They are comfortable for me. I wear size 10&half in sneakers so i purchased a size ten in these boots and they fit perfect.

Well made, very comfortable, classic look. Careful with polishes and sprays though...test on a less conspicuous spot before applying everywhere.

I'vr had these shoes for more than two years now and they still look, feel and wear great. No, I don't wear them everyday and I don't wear them in the winter (I live in Chicago) but all spring and summer with khakis and jeans as well as in the fall with cords and they go well with each type of pant style. I get compliments on them all the time and I know when I wear them they'll look great. Recently purchased same shoe in another color for some change of pace and I know they'll wear just as nicely as these have.

They fit true to size and color is correct to pictures.

I was very disappointed when I recieved this shoe. It wasn't the color I ordered then It wasn't the right size. So suggest you get this product at another place besides this one

Honest reviews on Bass Men's Burlington Oxford

I remember wearing these years ago when they only came in white/black and were called "Archie" shoes since Archie wore them in the comic books. Although the fit was somewhat narrow I took a chance and ordered a 7.5 which was ok but I won't be able to wear a really thick sock with it. The shoe is light weight, and what's not to like about the cream color with red? this shoe can be dressed up or down, is comfortable, stylish, and has become a conversation piece when others from my generation (I'm proudly 60) see them. I look forward to getting all the colors! Well done G.H. Bass for continuing to make this updated classic and KUDOS to Amazon for carrying them!

Very comfortable and stylish for a timberland. Runs a little big in the toe and narrow. I might under size half a size for this one...

I have searched high and low for a well made boot that I can resole and keep for a long time. I want the leather to wear in and develop a nice patina, even with polishing (this requires a full grain leather, which costs more). I want comfort, especially living in the city and doing a lot of walking. I wanted a great look that I could wear both on the weekend and in the office.

I did NOT want your hipster Americana cuff my selvedge denim and let my boots get all scuffed up so people think I make things in a machine shop look.

This fit the bill on all fronts. High quality leather with the toe slightly burnished to give it some character out of the box. The leather has been breaking in very well and with some polish + care will last a while. I've polished it only once so far and it is looking good.

It's comfortable. I can walk 3-4 miles a day in NYC and not have my feet feel tired at all. In fact, they feel great, especially compared to some other boots I've owned (John Varvatos, I'm looking at you... the name "hipster chukka" should've had me running, but I went against my better judgment). It's also breathable (thank you full grain leather) so your feet won't funk up.

The Vibram sole is holding up surprisingly well. I went through the first set of combat boots with Vibram sole and those things disintegrated in no time at all. I was hesitant about the sole, but so far it has held up VERY well.

Style is awesome. I can wear with chinos or dark jeans and it looks good. I wear it to the office no problem. I can wear more casually on the weekend and it also fits in. I get lots of compliments on these bad boys.

The fit runs a bit large. I normally wear a 9.5 and the size 9 is perfect with slightly thicker dress socks.

The only thing I have yet to figure out is how to put these on without a shoe horn. There are laces... there is a zipper... but somehow I have to undo all of it and use a shoe horn to get my foot in there, unless I want to wear out the heel leather by stomping on it. Anyway, small gripe. If you take your shoes on/off at the door you may want to think twice, but if you are on the move and keep your boots on all day this is not a big deal.

If you are looking for a nicer, high quality boot that is extremely versatile and don't want to veer off into $300 Red Wing/Wolverine land, this is the boot to get.

These are great-looking, versatile, well-made boots, but my size 15s were very long in the toe, though they fit very comfortably in the heel and around the foot. I wear 15s regularly, but I ended up returning them and trying size 14s, which are snug (though by no means uncomfortable), and look a lot less clown-y. I think this long toe thing is a common issue with Timberland, though I think just for larger sizes.

P.S. EXCELLENT return policy!!! Completely easy and convenient.

These boots are very stylish and comfortable. They run large. I bought size 10 which I normally wear and they were much too big. I put insoles inside and now they fit me like a glove! If you are in a market for classy and stylish boots, here you found them. Highly recomended!

These boots are comfortable right out of the box! Other reviewers have commented about sizing. i wear a 10.5 for some brands, an 11 in others. I got at 10.5 and it's perfect!

The color has a nice aged patina. They go with everything from dress slacks to jeans. I throw a good natural (clear)polish on to help with water, and off you go.

I'd recommend them, and might grab them again in the future if available!

My fiance loved the boot; it fit well & looks sharp with jeans. Good buy, especially with the discount applied to shoes when I bought them.

I'm normally 8.5 D, but a "full D". I hedged and ordered 9 D, since they will often fit. No good. Very tight, unless you have a narrow foot. I'll be returning these and hope I can find 8.5 E somewhere. Otherwise, good looking shoes.

Discount Red Wing Heritage Men's Beckman Chukka Boot

Red Wing Heritage Men's 9024 Beckman Chukka Boot,Black,11 D(M) US
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Purchased the Red Wing Beckman in brown a few weeks ago and the reviewer is 100% correct that they're stiff for a while. I broke mine in by wearing them for short amounts of time the first week and then all day thereafter. While the sticker price is difficult to get past when you see boots of similar styles for 1/3rd the price, once you live with them for a while you'll totally understand what kind of value you are getting for your dollar (or $300 to be exact). I was recently in an "upscale" shoe store with my wife and ventured to the men's section. They had a boot similar is style for half the price but the quality was junk in comparison to the Red Wings. The nice thing about these is they can be resoled. Many less expensive, rubber soled imitations cannot. Finding your size can be tricky with these so I would advise being fitted in a shoe store. I typically wear a size 10 and the 9.5's fit perfectly lengthwise but are just a bit narrow in the toes especially later in the day when your feet tend to swell. I'm wishing I would've gotten the 10's and just wore thicker socks. Apply a bit of mink oil (including the leather part of the sole and stitching) after you first get them and then again every few months and they are pretty much indestructible. Oh and also be prepared for many compliments!

Bought these in black and came back for brown, but out of my size...width is true to size...excellent vibram sole...if you want a super cushion shoe look elsewhere...shoe volume is low so if you want some cushion, it better a be thin insert...sharp looking shoe...the ladies will notice...pic doesn't do it justice...real leather and med thick not the thin plastic feeling leather you see on some AE shoes...says made in the USA on the tongue...

Let's see... I read all of the reviews for this during my search. The one piece of information that would have been helpful for me was the size.

I typically wear an 11.5 in Asics, La Sportiva, Asolo, and Keen and the size 11 fits perfectly with this Chukka.

Great craftsmanship and finish. The boots are well made and will take a while to form to your feet. Be patient and give these shoes short bursts of use in the beginning.

Enjoy a handcrafted boot made in the good old USA.

Honest reviews on Red Wing Heritage Men's Beckman Chukka Boot

I've had a pair for almost a year. They're pretty comfortable for a double-oak leather sole with stacked heal. Be warned, if your feet sweat a lot, these boots do not breath at all! The leather will also stain your socks. I had to use leather softener to break them in, even with wearing them 2-3 times a week. They're pretty stout boots, I could get at least 3-5 years out of them (after having them resoled). I usually wear a 9.5E in dress shoes, but the 9.5D offered is plenty wide. The instep is pretty tight though.

These boots are amazing. They take about a week to break in, but after that are very comfortable. They are extremely versatile, and can be worn to/with about anything. Please note that they do run a bit large. I generally wear a 10.5 in most common brands (nike, adidas, etc.), but had to size down to a 10 in these. The quality of craftsmanship is very impressive, and I anticipate these boots will last decades.
