LOVE THESE BOOTS!, September 6, 2008
This review is from: Steve Madden Women's Bonanza Tall Shafted Flat Boot (Apparel)
I will admit to being a bit skeptical about purchasing shoes over the internet. I am a visual person, :) so I always like to know how something is going to look on me before buying. ( I hate having to deal with returning/shipping items as well) I had checked out some department stores and some other shops at the mall. I did go to Steve Madden at the mall, and I saw these boots and wanted to try them on, but sadly they did not have my size. They were exactly what I was on the hunt for. :)A simple, classy and stylish boot that would not kill my feet if I were to wear them all day. :) So imagine my heartbreak when yet again my long size 10 feet were turned away. ;) I decided to try Amazon, since I had some luck in the past finding items on here, though shoe wear was never something I thought I'd buy on this site.......well I am so glad I did because not only was my size available, I got them for $15.00 cheaper!! Even better! (Free shipping too!:) These boots are heaven to my feet. :) I love the length, (I have longer legs so I was worried where these would exactly fall on me, they fall just below my knee) I like the slight "positioned" slouch they have to them. These boots do not "pull down" when you walk in them, they stay put. With my previous pair of knee length boots I was always having to pull them up as they would "fall" after a bit. These don't do that. They are very comfortable to walk and be in. They are simple yet so stylish! I like the flat heel, it really makes for a comfortable fit. I have some high heeled boots, but after so long, your feet start screaming for a break. :) You'll wear these all day without any tears. :) I also recommend getting a suede protector spray, I got these in black, and with most suede boots, it will pick up dirt....you're going to want protect these lovely boots for as long as you can! :)

great boots!, December 6, 2008
This review is from: Steve Madden Women's Bonanza Tall Shafted Flat Boot (Apparel)
Though I normally wear a size 6, I first got these in a 6.5 to be safe. They were too big, and one boot had a larger circumference than the other, so the looser one kept slipping down... Amazon has excellent customer service, so I was able to send them back as defective and order another pair (this was Thanksgiving so I also got a 30% off) These boots are very well-made, they're so soft and comfortable! They're also really warm so I'm hoping they'll keep me nice and comfy through the winter. The real suede is really nice so I sprayed it with suede protector. Highly recommend these!

Great Quality, Lacks Style, December 23, 2009
This review is from: Steve Madden Women's Bonanza Tall Shafted Flat Boot (Apparel)
Note: I love my shoes and my boots. And I will try anything in fashion once. I got these in the hunter green and the coloring was gorgeous. I slipped them on and they fit okay, but they hurt the soles of my feet! The design of the boot is nice- slouchy, relaxed- great to be paired with rolled up jeans and/or a lazy skirt... presumably. STYLE: - the boot came up mid calf. I have long legs (36" inseam), but I've found a few pairs of boots that reach my knees at least. These came up to mid calf, which had a way of cutting my long legs in half, making me look awkward. I tried to pull up the "foldover" part of the boot and even with that up, they still barely reached the bottom of my knee cap. - The slouchy design is wicked cute. I wished these fit me right. - the rounded toe and the flat foot paired with the slanted rise of the front of the shoe for the top of you foot, makes the shoe look like an elf shoe. (especially in the green color, unfortunately. I maybe should have picked a different color for my first Steve Madden flat boots) COMFORT: - the sole of the boot is really hard. The foot casing cuts into the backs of my heels/ ankles. - I ordered a size 8 (which is my typical sneaker size) and they were a little big for me. If you're borderline sizes, order down. - there was plenty of room for the calves, even when the top of the boot hit right in the "meat" of my calf muscle. - the shoe is so flat that it actually hurts my foot. There is no arch support whatsoever. Could be just me, but I guess I really can't do flat boots. If you have high arches, these aren't the shoes for you. SHIPPING: 5 out of 5 - I got these shoes within 3 business days during the christmas season. I ordered on a Thursday, one WEEK before christmas, and got them on Monday, BEFORE christmas. Fantastic. No damages to the packaging. They were in their own little plastic sleeves, stuffed with foam and cardboard to preserve shaping. Then they were put in a shoe box, and put into another box for shipping. Great service. The style of the shoe is cute. The idea of the shoe is great. The reality of the shoe is not so much. I will be returning these and looking for a different style of boot. :)
