NAS Alexus Boot?

Echo

Has anyone tried on the TopShop Alexus boot? I realize that the platform, the moto style and probably other features are not currently trendy anymore, but it somehow really appeals to me and I'd like to order it to give it a try. The description says it runs small, so because I normally wear between an 8-1/2 and a 9 I should probably order the 9-1/2?

I am just looking for a real-life review, since the site has none yet. How small do they run? Are they decent quality? For those who have not tried them, are they hopelessly out of style? Too tough for a 40-something? Any opinions?

I haven't tried them, but they look pretty classic in design to me, and age and toughness aren't opposed in my mind. If you rock the moto/hard edged look, you will rock it at whatever age in my opinion.

I don't know anything about the boot, but I agree with rabbit that these are more of a classic "tough" style and wouldn't be associated with a particular age group. If you were eighty, I might give pause, but I wouldn't think twice if I saw them on a forty-something.

I haven't seen it on irl. Not fab quality - but okay for sure.

FWIW, these boots are fairly comfortable, but the fit is VERY funky. While my left foot is a teeny bit bigger than my right, it is never an issue with shoes. But with these boots the right fits perfectly while my toes hit the end on the left, AND my left heel lifts up - so it feels as though the left boot is both too large and too small at the same time.

Still and all, I did order a size up because I do like them. The leather is a little lighter weight than it ought to be, but the quality is middle-of-the-road like Sam Edelman or Steve Madden, IMO. Oh, and the size they list as a 9.5 is a 40. I find it annoying that they didn't list that online because my normal European size is a 40 (at least in designer shoes - often a 39 in non-designer shoes). Because the recommendation was to size up, had I known they considered the 40 a 9.5 I would have ordered the 41 from the start.
