I thought I’d do a separate post on the SW boots for those
who asked for reviews. I wore them all
day yesterday and found them INCREDIBLY comfortable. They needed no breaking in at all. They did not cut off circulation, even when I
was sitting for long periods, nor did they flop around. They did slide down a bit over the day (I
think I could tie them tighter at the top) and there was no gapping. I think if I wore socks over tights they
would fit more tightly and cause less slipping.
They also fit over my skinnies!

As far as fit, it seems like these are miracle boots from the reviews I read. They slide easily on
and off for me because of the satin lining, and I don’t need to do any folding
tricks or tugging. I don’t think thigh
size is much of an issue given the way they work, since they are not pinchy at
the top and won’t cause thigh muffin (is that a thing?).

I have skinny calves and wide feet, so unlike many reviewers
I did not size down and got a 6. That
was the right move for me, since I will wear with socks and tights. Several
people begged to try them on at work and people up to a 7.5 were able to get
their foot inside, if narrow.

The suede is UNREAL – it’s really soft and supple. I don’t know how much the shaft will stretch
if at all – I hope not! The color of
these boots is a nice deep neutral burgundy.

If you have any specific questions, don’t hesitate to
ask. You’ll see a lot of these in my
winter WIWs!
