My stepmom liked that these shoes made her taller, and were comfortable to walk in. However, she did feel that perhaps they kind of lean into slightly masculine/unisex territory. Overall, she is happy with the fit, tread, and quality of the shoe. Sizing was also correct for a 8.5-9 size foot.These sneakers are very in style. They are comfy but they are very hard to get on. The top part of the sneaker is very tight. It looks like a easy pull on sock but the fabric is very firm and its hard to get your feet into them.There is no side zipper or laces to get them on. The only way to get them on is to squeeze your foot in from the top. It can be done but it takes awhile.I like the white bottoms of the boots, Very rugged looking. I recommend these sneakers to people with small feet.
