PROS:

- Fit true to size - I always wear a size 6 no matter what manufacturer, however, for boots and booties and usually buy a half size bigger just in case I feel like wearing socks, so I have these in a 6.5 not 6. There is plenty of toe room and length for thick socks so you could definitely stick with your true size with these.

- Heel height is ok - I wish the heel was higher but when I put them on, they were still high enough for my taste.

- You can wear these all day - They are very comfy because the toe box is not narrow, your toes definitely won't be squished in these boots. They are also lightly padded inside and the fabric is stretchy. The heel is sturdy and the hidden platform isn't bulky at all. And the rubber bottom is flexible and prevents you from sliding around.

- No rubbing against my ankle bone - I always worry if the outside is going to rub the bottom of my ankle bone but I had no problems with these boots. The outer "boning" wasn't too high and stopped right below my ankle so I didn't have to deal with it rubbing my ankle bone.

- Super cute tassels and wearable material - I love the bow and tassel on these, that's really what sold me on the shoe. They are sewn permanently so you always have a perfect bow each time you slip these on. I was worried about the fabric - it definitely doesn't look like leather, but whatever fabric it is, it's stretchy but feels like it will hold up well with normal wear. It doesn't feel like it will fray or fall apart easily.

- Boot opening is fantastic - I have normal thin ankles and calves, and these boots look pretty cute with anything I wear. Because the opening is not too wide, they don't look like buckets if I wear leggings or a mini, and the fabric is smooshy enough that they easily hide under a pant leg without sticking out.

- Easy on, easy off - Love that you just slip them on and off.

- Great price - The boots are cheap in price but surprisingly well made for the price. They don't feel like they are going to fall apart on me. And even though they are very affordable, they don't look out of place if I wear them with my $2,500 handbag or dash to the store with my $55 cell phone holder bag thingy.

CON:

- The ONLY drawback anyone might have is using some effort to put them on. You slip them on which is easy enough to do. But keep in mind that because the bow is permanently in place, that means that the elastic "ribbon" wrapped around the ankle isn't adjustable. It is a stretchy elastic but remember 1 is easy to stretch but 3-4 elastics together is tougher to stretch so keep that in mind is all.

OVERALL OPINION:

I'm glad I bought these. I don't really like fabric shoes, I prefer leather, but I'm very happy with these. They are so comfortable to wear and look really cute on and if you have thin calves, they look normal and not huge around the ankles. I also like that they compliment whatever bag I choose to use whether it be leather or velour.
