I thoroughly love how these shoes look, both online and when they arrived. They’re easy to walk in and the zipper makes putting them on a breeze. However, my only gripe is with the construction quality- I make things for a living. I’ve made my own clothes and shoes before, so when inspecting these shoes post-delivery I was surprised to find several small gauges in the sides of the shoes soles, as well as visible glue lines between the seam of the sole and the cloth upper half. None of this has turned me away from these shoes however, as these details likely won’t be noticed by anyone but me.

I absolutely ADORE these boots and, with the pandemic going around, have been just wearing them around the apartment. Despite looking hefty, they're really lightweight and comfortable to walk in. I'm a bit unsteady on most tall shoes, but these are surprisingly easy to walk in. The floral print is adorable, and the buckles are a great accent without being too much. While you can't take the buckles off, they do function and can adjust if you want them tighter/looser.

ONLY con is they're a bit too big size wise. I'm a size 8.5 and Pleaser doesn't sell half sizes. I knew roughly what I was getting though, so I bought some shoe fillers in advance. Don't let the half size difference discourage you. Round up your size and get padding for them. If you need padding in a pinch, I ball up a pair of my no-shoe socks and stuff them in the toe. Works great, even if it's not perfect. Still waiting on my fillers from Sizers so winging it right now!

Also want to point out that the zipper is FANTASTIC because these are not shoes that I would recommend driving in. Getting them off and on is generally a non-issue (my pant cuffs don't fit super tight around my ankles sadly).
