Customer Reviews Bed Stu Manchester

They work with my turkey legs! These boots are heavenly. They smell wonderful, have a cushy footbed, and look great with a small, but reasonable amount of gaping on my 12" toothpick calves, which makes them perfect for tucking in skinny jeans. The zippers at the bottom are super as you can grab your pants by the ankles and pull them down from the bottom instead of trying to cram them in from the top. Most boots looks terrible on me. My small calves look like sad little rolls of pennies banging around in a couple of soda cans. When Nordstrom sent me an email saying they had narrow calf boots I opened it instantly because I have been waiting 42 years for boots that fit! I viewed their selection and then, of course, went straight to Zappos to actually buy some. Because Zappos rules. Sorry, Nordys! I normally wear a size 8, but Zappos only had a 7 in the color I wanted (natural mechanic), so I took a chance and ordered the smaller size. They fit perfectly! The natural mechanic color turned out to be a lovely shade of light taupe as opposed to the winter white color that they appeared to be on my screen. Gorgeous anyway, but not what I was expecting. I have long toes and cannot wear even slightly pointy footwear, so I was thrilled to find the toe box to be roomy and comfortable. I also have a high instep, so high that I often cannot even try boots on. I have one other pair of boots and some booties, both of which required professional stretching before I could wear them comfortably. Not so with these Bed Stu beauties! My tootsie slid right in, and there isn't even a hint of mashing across the top of my foot! Thank you Bed Stu and Zappos. I have found my Cinderella glass slipper! And it is a big leather boot - which is way cooler.

My Manchester Boots are AWESOME!! I wore them today for the first time, and got compliments everywhere I went! And, as if that isn't enough, the leather is very high quality, and feels comfortable right out of the box. And, the subtle "splash" of red make these boots a tad "sassy". These will be a perfect addition to my boot collection!!! Thanks for feeding my "boot addiction".

These are really gorgeous boots! They lace in the back, to customize how tight you need the boot. Sure, they are a little tough to get on, but I used a nylon over my sock and jeans, and that helped a lot. Beautiful color, a deep chocolate that will go with everything! In most shoes I am a size 8, but after reading some reviews I went with a 7½. They fit perfectly and I cannot wait to wear them again tomorrow!

Best . Boot. Ever. These boots are high but not over the knee. I thought I was wide calf but I am regular calf in these as the lace up area can be loosened . Getting them on the first few times is hard then no problem. Do not lace to last hole , lace to hole before the top unless you are wearing leggings .The scuffed appearance is awesome to me; it is subtle and will just get better. I am 8 1/2 in most shoes but always 9 in Bed Stu boots. Hope this helps

These are by far the BEST boots I’ve ever owned!!!! They’re extremely comfortable and excellent for walking long distances!!! Hands down #BESTBOOTSEVER

The size and fit was exactly as expected. I typically wear a 9.5 and that's what I bought. They have been comfortable from the very start and I'm sure because they are good quality leather, they will only get more comfortable as they get worn in more. I like that they are true black with only a bit of 'ageing' so they can be dressed up or down.

This is a follow up to the review that I posted on December 14th. I received my replacement pair of Manchester boots in teak glaze and this time it only took one afternoon of wearing before the finish began to crack and the leather began peeling off in strips. I am so frustrated, because I really loved these boots and wanted to find a way to make them work. But the effects do not look like normal wear and tear or even distressed leather - it looks instead like I am wearing defective leather. So they are going back for a refund. As always, thanks to Zappos for stellar customer service.

These were a bit stiff at first. There is a tongue that hits at the back of the knee that takes some getting used to. The look is AMAZING, I get complements single every time I ware these. They are breaking in well and becoming comfortable. My last Bed-Stu boots have lasted me 10+ years and are still going strong. These boots are made so well and I expect them to last just as long.

These are superior quality & stunning boots! I’m 5’5” and have slim calves… these boots fit beautifully with lots of room! They are stylish, tall & super soft leather. Very comfortable to wear and high quality. These are the first pair of knee high boots that I’ve bought that actually fit just under the knees! Shockingly accurate description… lol. I got my normal size of 7.5 in boots and they fit beautifully! I love these boots. Came back and got a 2 pair in distressed tan colored leather.

You can not go wrong with This Bedstu . I’m a big fan of Bedstu & Born . This boots are so to the point . I ordered wide calf before but returned them . Thank God Zappos customers service worked things out with me with much love , patience & respect . They always always incredible very Proffessional . Upon receiving this pair I was over the moon . They fit do well great quality worth the price . Soft touch . I’m good to go though I wish they could re- stock more of Bedstu knee length boots as most have run out of stock . I m usually 6.5 but went half size up got size 7 . Love & inlove with them . Thank you Zappos ur the best

These are gorgeous boots! Love the rustic/casual feel and the detail in the back. Run a little small in my opinion!

I purchased these for my wife as a Christmas present. She really likes them. The fit is great and they look beautiful on her.

These are very cool boots. The pictures do not show it but you can untie the back of the boot and roll the leather down a bit or a lot. These are very sturdy boots. It took me a couple of times to wear them to break them in but I love them!

Received these boots in the teak glaze as a birthday gift. I will start with the good, they're beautiful, sturdy and very well constructed. I am normally a 9.5 in boots and these were a 9 and definitely a half size too big still. I am returning these boots directly to Bed Stu because the glazed teak is defective and cracked within hours of wearing. Tragic! I will say that when I spoke to the customer service rep with Bed Stu she was very apologetic, polite, and willing to do a full exchange. So I will be receiving the Manchester RUSTIC teak in a 8.5 soon. They should really pull the glazed teak because they're defective.

Definitely leather boots. I loved them for that reason. They are more rugged than their pics (distressed look) where the brown shows through on the black boot, but I liked that. Real leather feel and look so they looked sharp. Narrow width on the upper part of the foot closer to the toes so I had to return them. Super sad they weren't a normal medium width. But overall, great craftsmanship, quality and look of the boot. Much more rugged than dressy so keep that in mind if you wanted something fancier.

I adore these boots. I ordered my usual size of 8.5 and they fit perfectly. Most Bed Stu's have goofy sizing but these were right on. Make note of the other reviews that suggest you need a thinner calf. This is true, I have always had trouble with boots because of my skinny calves, but these fit great. I am 5 foot 5 inches and they came up right to my knee. They are a bit of a challenge to get on, but it's totally worth the effort. Love my new Bed Stu boots!

I had to return the first pair and go up a half size. They run small.

I love the look, feel and quality of this boot. Following the advice of so many of the other reviewers I purchased a 1/2 size smaller and I'm glad I did. The length is good (I normally wear a 9 and purchased a 8 1/2), but the shoe is extremely narrow across the bunion area. I'm not sure I can even wear socks with these boots. I do not have a wide foot at all. I am trying to decide whether to return or put in some sort of stretching device.

I love the boot and hoped other reviews were overly harsh about the sizing. They weren't. And the height is a bit too high and I have long legs for a 5'3" woman. Too bad... LOVE the style.

Great rustic boot. Disappointed the color finish cracked off the first time I wore the boot. I am going to take them to a shoe repair and see what can be done. I don't believe that discoloration was to happen.

I loved the look and feel of these boots, but I ordered the largest size, a 42, and it fit more like a 41. Unfortunately, they don't go any bigger for my ginormous feet.

I could've felt awesome wearing these boots but they didn't hit the mark for me. First, the leather, although soft, was an ugly, blotchy color. Not even close to the image I saw online. I thought these boots were black but what I got looked like someone dropped bleach on them. Secondly, they are narrow in the toe box and a wide size isn't available. The side zipper helped but it was a struggle to get them on. The shaft is a nice height, up to the knee and they are a bit adjustable for narrower calves...but that was the only good part. They were hot lookin' and I would've paid the $300.00 (ouch) dollars but, as much as I wanted to love them, I decided to return.

The shaft is SO TALL!! At 5’9” I have long legs and never have a problem with shaft height but these hit mid knee, and the tongue for the back lacing hit right at my knee crease, making it super uncomfortable. What a shame. The shoe part fit like a dream.

This is a beautiful boot. The leather and distressed details are definitely my style. However, the boot felt crazy narrow. I actually have a pretty narrow foot, so this surprised me. If you have a larger "bunion bone" area, this boot will rub in all the wrong places. Sadly, I'm returning.
