Customer Reviews John Varvatos Barrett Side Zip Boot

This is really cool boot. The leather quality is high. I think the size runs a little large so I purchased 1/2 size smaller and it fit well. Not much arch and the heel is low so the fit is not like a traditional boot with high clunk heel. Very comfortable. As the leather breaks in the color fades to a Smokey grey which I think looks great.

they look and feel great. however ordered them in the same size as i would order regular sneakers. order a full size down.

Love the boot! The leather is stiff at first, but quickly becomes comfortable during the first wearing. Runs large. Initially ordered 1/2 size down, but had to do an exchange for a full size smaller than my son's normal size 12. Zappos exceeded expectations in accommodating my exchange; to my surprise, they overnighted my replacement pair. Customer for life!

I hemmed and hawed about what size to get in these. I went with an 11.5 (same size I order Vans). They're great. Love the low heel, nearly flat bottom that looks like tire rubber.

These are really great looking shoes and become very comfortable after break in. Little scratches do show up quite easily but they fit in with the overall look of the shoes. Take care of these shoes and they should last a good, long while.

High quality boots that can be dressed up or down. They fit true to size. Super happy with these.

Cool-looking boot. Smells strongly of glue. Not sure how well it will hold up, and value for price. Returning it in favor of Desert Jink by Clarks.

Most comfortable boots I own to date. I have had them a week and can't take them off. Fits true to size. Seem like good quality so far. I bought them in black too because I loved them so much. Super easy on and off! Priced a bit high for rubber sole but overall A+.

The shoe looks and feels great. I do think it is over priced for having a rubber sole and hope I can find someone to re-sole them in a year or two.

Too big.Too narrow

It looks so good in the picture but in real life it feels cheap and aesthetically is not quite right. leather is hard, dry, poor quality. if it's laced properly it's impossible to get on and off using only the zipper. overall, the boot has no gravity to it. it doesn't feel good in your hands or on your feet.and definitely not worth the cost.

The look of the show is wonderful, however, the leather is very stiff, too hard to put it on. The width is also too narrow. I have to return it just after trying it on.

The seam around the sole starting coming apart within a week of buying them. Coloring in manufacturing is not the best. Poor fading and cracking of color all over the shoe. Customer service with Varvatos suggested I return them and because the no longer carry them I would have had to buy another pair of boots which would have cost more than the original.
