WHen I was choosing on my new boots, I was stuck between these and some Fergie boots that looked similar and were about $10 cheaper. I ended up choosing Naughty Monkey because I love the brand, their shoes are always adorable and comfortable, and the reviews positively raved about them. I think I got the defective pair, unfortunately.

When they showed up in their package, they looked amazing. A very even chocolate brown, super cute slouch that didn't say my boots are going to fall to my ankles, amazing. When I first tried them on, though, there was a weird crackling sound. Unperturbed, I tried them on for a great fit. Not a whole lot of cushion on the ball of your feet and no room for adding in an insert, but that was fine.

The problem came in when I tried walking around in them on the first day Within ten steps I noticed that the leather flap on the right boot was catching on the bottom of my boot and making it hard to walk. I tried pulling up on the boot, removing my jeans and putting tights on, nothing. I'm returning my boots and I'm sad to see them go, but when the leather can't stay up regardless of what I do, and it's hard to walk, there doesn't seem much to do to fix it.
