WET HOT REVIEW-- Ive shuffled in these for over 4 years. Tl,Dr: Price has gone up, quality has gone down.

In 2026, I bought these shoes brand new right before EDC. At $149, these shoes can only survive one EDC (and a perfect weather EDC at that- picture 3) before FALLING APART one weekend later on the first day of a rainy/muddy Movement Festival (picture 1&2).

Yes that's right, tonight, they only lasted 4 full days of raving, before the shoe glue on the bottom base is coming off.

I hate to leave such a poor review because looks-wise, they are sparkly and beautiful, and have been my go-to boots for raves/festivals for 4 years. In 2022 they survived an Electric Forest, Secret Dreams, and Burning Man all in one season for the lower ~$120. In 2025 they were selling for $134 (again same issue with bottom coming off led me to buy a new pair. I even tried to repair with shoe goo, but I thought I'd invest in a new pair for this festival season!)

Now at almost $150 and they're falling apart. After 4 days. Extremely sad that the quality has gone SO FAR down.

They can also be extremely painful to break in. Wear two pairs of socks and bandaid your ankle. Dont lace them up too tight. Go a size up if you are a half size. Put in inserts.

@Demonia What happened to the quality??

I’ve always wanted these boots, absolutely obsessed with them. However the pair I received, while still beautiful at first glance, are riddled with manufacturing errors that are extremely disappointing for something at this price point. The rhinestone sheet onto the boots is adhered with some type of glue/binding agent that is absolutely horrible in smell. The moment I unboxed them the fumes gave me an intense headache. I put them in a room to air out and 5 days later they still smell of fumes. The adhesive also doesn’t seem to have been fully cured as the boots are super tacky. Again, after they’ve aired for 5 days it’s starting to subside but still has tackiness to the touch. The fit is weird. While they’re rather tight on my calves, which is understandable as mine are 18in so I’m thankful they fit, however the ankle area is so so baggy (and my ankles are equally as huge 11in). I’m hoping as they break in I’ll be able to tighten them more to add some support. But the worst issue is with the rhinestone sheet installation. On the right inner toe box it was not installed correctly and is folded upon itself and rippling. There’s also SO much excess glue along the sole and random spots all over the boot that have to be cleaned off.

All in all, they’re beautiful even with the flaws but I’m definitely disappointed in my experience.
