Very Pretty Boot, October 11, 2009
This review is from: Chinese Laundry Women's Trust Me Suede Flat Boot (Apparel)
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.

Amazing Boot Pratically live in them, November 8, 2009
This review is from: Chinese Laundry Women's Trust Me Suede Flat Boot (Apparel)
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.

fun to wear, delicate swede, no arch support, April 13, 2010
Was glad I had read previous reviews of this boot.
Ordering one size larger than u usually wear was good advice.
Also glad to know, prior to arrival, that boot offers little to no arch support or underneath traction, but first problem is easily remedied with insoles.
Boots look fantastic! I enjoy the option of wearing boots snapped up over the knee, or unsnapped folded down. Note - swede is thin and delicate on these boots. Good idea to spray some water protectant on the toes and heal. Boots wear very well with leggings, but don't expect to be able to tuck regular (non skinny) jeans into these boots.
