For the price that I paid here, I was actually expecting something to be wrong with it…. minor scruffs, crooked stitching… something! But they were actually perfect! The fit was just right, but that was because I ordered a half size up (I’m usually a 6.5) so they fit me. And this is coming from someone with athletic calves. I usually have problems fitting into boots, but because of the material I’m sure, I fit into them perfectly
I’m so glad I bought these.
i wasn’t sure about these boots after i read the mixed reviews on another site but i’m glad i ordered them. i purchased them in gray and although it looked better in the picture (the buttons look a little on the cheap side) overall they’re still cute. i have petite legs and the fit is great. i don’t have a problem with them sagging or falling down as other reviewers have mentioned. so far i’ve worn mine only with leggings. the opening is kind of narrow especially after fastening the buttons so if you’re looking to wear these over your jeans i wouldn’t recommend this particular boot. pros: comfortable, affordable, stylish. cons: slender legs only.
Just got these boots about 2 weeks ago in the gray suede, and I Absolutlely love them. I read many reviews about the fact that since it is a flat boot that there is not much arch support, which is true, however there is a quick and inexpensive remedy to this shoe insoles. The boots look great with everything (jeans, leggings, short dresses/tunics, etc.)they instantly transform plain outfits like jearns and a white t-shirt to a stylish look. Another not quite issue is that if you are tall like me (5’9″) then they are not over the knee but rather mid-to-under-the-knee. Recommend them gray goes with so many things. Love Chinese Laundry boots have the turbo in black leather and adore them as well.
TRUST ME BOOT
This “Trust me” boot is lined with a thin foam-type material that keeps the shaft slightly more rigid. It is a very pretty boot (I got the grey color). The suede is smooth and without flaws and the (functional) snaps are a polished silver look. It runs at least a half-size small. The sole is very thin so I tried on a FULL size larger and had enough room to put an insole in it. I bought both this boot and the “tripin over the knee” boot by Chinese Laundry. I am keeping this one and returning the “tripin” boot. The “trust me” boot seems to be a much better quality because of the lining. I am very tall (5′-9″) and this boot comes just to the midpoint of my knee-cap. On an average person, I am assuming it would be a true OTK boot. Looks great with leggings, skirts, or over skinny jeans. It’s a little tough to put on over jeans because there is no zipper. The shaft height on a size 9 1/2 is 22 1/2″. At the widest point (the top), the inside circumference is just over 16″. You can wear this boot slightly slouchy, all the way up, or you can un-snap and fold over the top. I would have given it 5 stars if it came with ANY kind of cushion, but just add an insole and it is then 5 stars.
TRIPIN OVER THE KNEE BOOT
Chinese Laundry also makes a very similar boot called “Tripin over the knee” boot. The other (Tripin) boot is NOT lined and therefore slouches down because it is just one layer of suede and has no lining. The Tripin boot has matching snaps (same color as the boot). The tripin boot is the one I returned.
