After sizing up a half size and adding drugstore insoles (my favorite ones in Finds below), they are like 9/10 comfy because the insoles provide extra cushioning. I haven't done miles of walking yet, but I took a risk in bringing them on a weekend trip as my only pair of shoes without breaking them in, and they served me well while walking briskly through the airport. I am taking them on an easy town hike tomorrow morning!</p> <p>I'm pretty impressed overall, since the last time I tried on Aldo shoes was a few years ago in a store and they were quite uncomfortable. My feet are low-volume and medium-width, tending towards a wider forefoot and narrow heel for my size (5/5.5), but I think the size 6 I bought is TTS before modification. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578810 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 18:47:25 +0000 Greyscale 1578810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So strange and disappointing about the Everlane boots. From your photos, I can't picture them fitting anyone properly.</p> <p>(I'm a huge fan of their clothes, but their shoes are far too narrow for me, anyway.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578792 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 17:56:09 +0000 rachylou 1578792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blue snakeskin is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578786 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 17:36:00 +0000 sarah 1578786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a couple more, although I have not tried them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578775 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 17:14:26 +0000 cjh 1578775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some less expensive brands.

I'd love to try some Topshops and those Ted Bakers which look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578740 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 13:58:10 +0000 Angie 1578740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a shame, Viv. Oh well. Striking out with footwear is the story of my style life. Onto the next pair.&nbsp;</p> <p>The wedges look gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>There are lots of great black Chelsea boots around - but the prices are steep. Is the Topshop bootie back in your size?&nbsp;</p> <p>KL, are the Aldo booties comfy and cushioning? I haven't met a pair that are comfortable yet, but we leave no retail stone unturned because things change every season. So let me know!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578723 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 13:15:58 +0000 Keix 1578723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my new Aldo Cydnee booties today and can recommend them (I bought in rust suede thanks to annagybe's recommendation, but they come in black leather as well). The quality is surprisingly good. I sized up a half size and added drugstore inserts, in part because I'm sized out otherwise, and it's worked out really well. The ankle does run wider than the Everlane pair you show, but the instep fit is sleek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578713 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 12:23:41 +0000 kkards 1578713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the Cole Haans are fab! and if they are all day comfortable, even better! i also find i have to size up a 1/2 size with this brand.</p> <p>i'm also looking for a nice Chelsea&nbsp;boot. i have this on the way, so i can't comment on the fit or comfort.<br />this was another one i was thinking about.. a recommendation from the &nbsp;"girls of a certain age" blog.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.maraisusa.com/collections/boots/products/beatle-boot-black-genuine#.VjSxnUtXulJ">http://www.maraisusa.com/colle.....jSxnUtXulJ</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578710 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 12:00:08 +0000 Anonymous 1578710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cole Haans are beautiful on you!!! &nbsp; I love the color and the shape of those shoes. &nbsp;I am so happy that after six hours they were comfortable for you. &nbsp;Yay for you. &nbsp;</p> <p>Everlane. &nbsp;Hmmmm. &nbsp;I agree with what <b>La Pedestrienne</b> posted. &nbsp;Everlane's advertising is great and I want to believe every single word they write, but the products don't live up to the advertising. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578683 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 06:40:51 +0000 Colette 1578683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wedges look great on you! I was watching to see your review on the Everlanes, sorry they didn't work out. I think we are looking for the same or very similar style boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578675 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 05:01:58 +0000 LaPed 1578675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the review! Now I can cross those Everlanes off my wishlist.&nbsp;</p> <p>(So much of their stuff looks great in theory but never quite lives up in real life. And their sizing just makes no sense to me. I may unsubscribe from their emails I'm so tired of all the almost-but-not-quites...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578654 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 03:09:37 +0000 catgirl 1578654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the wedges on you! I never do a low vamp but its so elegant. Sorry about the booties. Amazing that with all the Chelsea boots out there, it's so hard to find the right ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578652 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 03:01:39 +0000 Suz 1578652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue shoes are beautiful on you. Love them! Especially in blue snake.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the Everlanes, they are making me more than ever grateful for my Stuarts. What a weird shape! &nbsp;</p> <p>It seems Chelseas were everywhere last year; this year, not so much, or not so much the classic versions. Frustrating for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>And, I just started up a Zappos search and was finding (I thought) TONS of them...but it turns out they were all men's boots. GAH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578646 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 02:25:38 +0000 AndiB 1578646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was on a mad quest for Chelsea boots last winter; found a seriously discounted pair of aquatalias that are perfect. Unfortunately on 6pm so unlikely to be still available. Still searching now for cognac Chelsea's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578638 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 01:39:58 +0000 Eliza 1578638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice Cole Haans. &nbsp;Like the color and you can rock that wedge heel. &nbsp;I have generally good luck with their shoes, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now about the Everlanes- they look so uncomfortable. &nbsp;Too much bunching of the leather makes them appear loose, yet somehow the front top of the shaft appears constricting. Weird.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578637 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 01:31:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1578637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue wedges are excellent. You have to wonder ... Didn't Everlane have people actually try on the boots when they were designing them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578608 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:23:52 +0000 Anonymous 1578608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Cole Haans! &nbsp;Really cute . What is up with those Everlane's? The front cut is really weird, and I agree with you on the bright white heel protector thingy. &nbsp;#designfail.</p> <p>I pulled out my three year old Browns Chelseas today &nbsp;- which I hardly ever wear because they put the toes in my left foot to sleep (speaking of weird) but am sure glad I have. I haven't seen any out there that are the right shape either. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-a-hit-cole-haan-a-miss-everlane#post-1578607 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:18:25 +0000 viva 1578607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hit: (pics 1-3) On a whim yesterday I picked up these blue snakeskin effect wedge pumps from Cole Haan (outlet) that I had considered a few months back, and I wore them today for a meeting that ended up lasting 6 hours, if you include travel time. They were incredibly comfortable - I really wish I had bought these sooner! Cole Haan runs a bit small for me so I always size up .5, but these are a great toe -- pointy-ish but not too pointy, and the front accommodates a very slight bunion. 3-inch heel but on a wedge, and they were fab all day long.</p> <p>Miss: (pics 4-6 and Find) The Everlane booties, sadly, were a miss for me. They are a beautiful leather and a nice almond shape (although I do not like the bright white heel protector) - but they are high cut in the front in an odd way -- they hit at an uncomfortable spot and there is a lot of extra leather so they buckle really badly. You can see when I am standing straight (pic 5) that the bootie juts out diagonally from my shin bone. It's not at all what I am looking for in a chelsea, which I feel should be closer to the foot. Back they go.</p> <p><b>Any recos for a good black Chelsea (traditional, flat, sleek)? </b>Why are they so hard to find? </p>
