Okay at first, favorites after a few wears
Update: I just purchased another pair in black since they were on a great price. Still super comfortable out of the box. Not leather but for $25 I know I'll get a ton of use out of them and still have a bit of a heel.I purchased these booties from Amazon in a size 8, Doe color. I didn't wear them more than once or twice and they were fine when I did... Then, I brought them on vacation and found they were the most comfortable shoe - even more so than my casual sneaker that I usually travel with- for reference, I was wearing them walking through some uneven and/or cobble streets and was walking anywhere from 3-8 miles per day. They're that comfortable and fashionable that I made sure my outfits accommodated them. I'll be ordering the black once I can... Or the price goes down ☺They did pick up some dirty along the way, as expected with such a light color, but it actually makes them look a little broken in which is okay with me.Sizing: I can range from a seven to an 8.5 depending on style because my feet are somewhat wide and the top of my foot is higher. I generally wear an 8 in sneakers and boots will usually be 8/8.5. I ordered an 8 in these and although I manipulate them a bit because of that high part of foot, the 8 fits well and I will order the same size for black. Space at the toes for wiggle room.Regarding width: I did not find these to be extremely narrow even though I have a somewhat wide foot, they are comfortable in how they secure your foot, it feels good rather than tight and does loosen a tiny bit. I wore them with a thin athletic sock or a semi thin generic sock.Only con: with so much walking, perhaps due to uneven road, on one side they began to run the outer edge of my ankle a little, I just pulled my sock a little higher, problem solved.

Great boots at a great price!
I've been on the hunt for some cute ankle boots and saw some great reviews and photos for these, so the moment they went on sale I purchased them! If you are in between sizes, I really recommend sizing up. I got a size 6 (I typically fall in between 5.5-6) and it fits perfectly! It's not too loose, but also not too tight. I can wear a pair of tights or socks with these pretty comfortably.The boots themselves are incredibly comfortable to walk around in. I wore these out on a weekend and they've stayed in great shape so far. Pretty well made imo and look great dressed up or down. I've already gotten tons of compliments on them and can pair them up with a lot of different outfits. It's incredibly versatile.

Love, but not perfect
Such a cute boot! Fits well, though it's a tiny bit smaller than what I expected, especially after putting in a cushion on the sole. My feet kept getting sore when I wore these all day (walking about 2.5 miles). I also didn't realize there are 2 zippers on each shoe, which is fine, they just make a bit of jangling noise when you walk. I would buy again, but I have found other styles I wish I'd seen first.

The versatile Fall booties you've been searching for
Sizing:I am usually a 7.5 or 8 in shoes, and I best fit a 8 in this style. Would go with your larger shoe size if you're between sizes, especially if you plan to wear socks.Pros:- Quality vegan suede; It's hard to come across a well made synthetic suede- this fabric looks and feels beautiful.- Wears well; Carlos synthetic suede lasts longer and looks better than real suede after longterm wear (real suede gets discolored and worn easily).- Comfortable; Can wear all day with no complaints- Side zipper adds great texture for a classic yet stylish design.- Wood heel; No cheap looking rubber heel!- Versatile; I've worn with dresses, skirts, denim, etc.- Short heel; Great for tall gals and those who just love comfortCons:None, so far.

Love these booties....I have bought them 3x!
These are my favorite booties. Extremely comfortable, I love the heel height, and they are versatile. I wear them to work and with my jeans on a night out. They would be perfect if they were waterproof, but I have still worn them all over Italy and Paris on my honeymoon and they were great. Plus I think the price is right. This is my third pair of the brie boots- I wear them almost daily (even in the summer!) and each pair lasts about 1 1/2 years. I get wear on the sides and heel after awhile but they still look great.

I am SO happy I bought these booties
I am SO happy I bought these booties. They sat in my cart for several summer months because I just couldn't make myself buy booties when it was 95 degrees outside. I finally bought them and am so happy I did. These are almost the only shoes I wear now (with jeans, work pants, dresses, skirts!) The first few wears weren't as comfortable because the boots are little a stiff at first, but they break in. Now I wear them all day long and can even walk around a city wearing them.These do run narrow, which isn't a problem for me, but if you have wider feet they would probably be uncomfortable. I love the color (was between the taupe or the brown and went with taupe because they were cheaper).Seem like good quality that will last a while!

Cute but uncomfortable
I wear a 7 - 8 and the 8 was a good fit given I was wearing thick ankle socks and had shoe cushion liner too.I got the black and it looked awesome with a number of dresses. I wore them with my black dress to a wedding. They also look super cute with jeans.What is really awesome about these is it is so nice to be able to wear socks with feminine cute fancy shoes. I hate not wearing socks because the odor accumulation will make shoes gross over time. So I rarely wear feminine shoes due to this. But these shoes are an exception. Black ankle socks go great with these.Now, the bad. The arch support and cushioning is non existent in these. It's like standing on concrete. Well more like concrete with a piece of cardboard laid on top. These shoes simply did not feel nice to wear. So if you must, get a size up and buy some padding for these. Because you'll need it.
