I purchased this in Cognac and in Black. I did go a half size up and it is super comfy. No trouble slipping on or off despite it not having a zipper. I can walk all day in these and my feet are very comfortable. The heel is nice, solid and stable. I did treat mine with suede waterproofing spray as soon as I got them. They are super cute and chic (especially with leggings or skinny jeans), hold up well and seem to be of good quality. Best of all, they look almost like the super expensive Isabel Marant Dickers boots but at a fraction of the price. I hope Report comes out with a cowhide leather version of these boots because I will be the first in line to buy them!
