Comfortable and sexy are two words that don't often fit well together for women's shoes. In the case of this boot, however, it's very true. I've owned my fire-engine red Lovers for 2 years now and still enjoy them every time I wear them. The boot laces up the side, but has an inside zipper - this makes it more forgiving for thick socks or thick calves. I usually wear mine without socks or tights to have the skin peeking through the laces.

These are boots I wear all day, walking around downtown Seattle, with no problem. The heel is wide at the bottom, providing a lot of stability, and it's on the F-sole style, which gives added traction to the grip. If you're wearing them out in the rain or wet elements, though, I do recommend protecting them with a waterproofer.

In the store, they said these boots run true to size, but I still found these to be like most Fluevogs: to run a little small and I needed them a half size up from my normal.

I get a lot of comments on the Lover boots, and recommend them to anyone who likes funky fashion, good comfortable footwear, and who has zest for life.
