Attention ladies with skinny ankles: these are your boots. If you have been searching for seasons for ankle boots for your skinny ankles, order these. The end.

I finally found the perfect booties for me! I’ve bought and returned a lot of pairs (thanks Zappos), but these are it! These are perfect combination of comfort and style. I’m normally a 7 or a 7.5 and sized up to a 7.5 because the 7 felt too narrow at the toes and I needed more room. The 7.5 was perfect. They look great with skinny jeans and leggings. I love them!

Super cute ankle boot! Great for skinny jeans or bootleg jeans with a cuff! I have narrow feet and heel, and this boot just fits. If you have a wider foot or need room in the toe box, this boot might not be for you. Fits pretty true to size in length. Love Clark’s shoes, and these boots are quality like their other shoes!

I really love these boots. I bought them the week before Black Friday and wasn’t even mad when I saw that they were $50 off on Black Friday. I live in NYC with my 3 children and as a result I walk a lot. These boots are comfortable and SO warm. I’m assuming it’s the quality of the leather that keeps my toes warm after spending over an hour outside in the 30’s. My heels are on the narrow side but not crazy narrow. They have room in the heel, which I’m used to, and this has not been a problem at all. The ankle height is great. I wear them a lot with my Jcrew matchstick jeans and I just have to cuff my jeans a bit. It’s basically winter so I wear a mid-length sock underneath. My goal was to buy a pair of boots that would be worth re-soling eventually and I believe I’ve found them. The quality is excellent.

Cute boot but wore once and the sole was separating from the boot. Not made well at all. Zappos customer service is incredible and I was able to return boot and purchased different pair. Little bummed because the black suede ones were so cute

Overall, this is an awesome shoe and I'm very happy with my purchase.
Size: Most of my shoes are 8.5, but I'll wear a 9 depending on the shape/style of the shoe. Because some of the reviews said they ran small, I went with a 9 and that was perfect. I wanted to be able to wear them with any thickness of socks. The shaft opening is slender. I have a narrow ankle and I actually love the fit, but they do take some effort to pull on over your foot. That being said, I love that they feel a bit more fitted without having a zipper.
Quality: I was looking for a leather chelsea style boot without a giant price tag. I was really pleased with the heel hight, material [feels and looks high quality].
Color: I found it to be slightly off from the product photo. The color is richer in the product photos, but it seems a bit more muted in person.
All in all, it's a really nice boot!

These are extremely comfortable and beautifully made shoes. The only thing that would make them better is if they were leather (which is what I was originally looking for). These fit so well and looked so good that I decided to keep them. I have fairly skinny ankles and these fit perfectly. The bottom of the shoe inside is very soft and comfortable.

Had my eye on these a while - Got a great deal on these during black Friday - way cheaper than direct from Clark’s. Cute bootie, great for lots of walking, super comfy out of the box and flexible sole which helps it feel more like a sneaker. Perfect for NYC or wherever else you need for stylish but walking friendly boots! Tad loose but had tried the 9s and those were too big and 8s were too small. I’m a pretty consistent 8.5, have bunions but not a wide so need a decently roomy toe box, which these delivered!

LOVE! Exactly what I have been looking for regarding a boot that I can dress up for work ("dress casual") and for social. I have gotten so many compliments from friends and patients. They are very comfortable and I can wear for an 11+ hour work day where I am on my feet majority of the time. I am between an 8.5 and 9 in boots and definitely wear a 9 for tennis shoes. I decided to go with the 9. They are a little loose if I wear dress socks, so I definitely think I could have gotten away with an 8.5. However, the 9 is a perfect fit and not too tight with some thicker/warm winter socks. Seriously LOVE the color, they go with everything. Recommend spraying with water-repellent spray to protect the suede.

These are amazing. As other reviewers said they are great for narrow ankles. And they look great with skinny jeans! They hit at just the right spot - they aren't too tall or too short when worn with ankle length jeans. It's a bonus that they are super comfortable, I feel like I could walk all day in them. The gray color is gorgeous. A perfect addition to my closet.

Boot is really nice, well made. They were tight across the ball of my foot at first and I almost returned them but I stuck a shoe stretcher in them for a few days and that seemed to help. They loosened up a bit more after I started wearing them. Also I have a high arch and was initially concerned I wouldn’t be able to slide my foot in but no issue due to the stretchy material on both sides of the boot. Overall I love these, very comfortable and received lots of compliments on them.

I loved these boots, unfortunately they don't make a 10.5 which is my size on my right foot and the 10 was just a little too small. Sometimes I can wear a 10 if they run a little big. The cushioned foot bed was super comfy, and the suede lovely. Why can't shoe companies do more half sizes? Most go up to a 10 and then skip to an 11 if they make an 11 at all which Clarks apparently does not in this style. It's so frustrating.

Love these! They have a slim look and look great with a pair of skinny jeans. These have hipster written all over them and I am loving it lol they are comfy butttt on the right boot, the top lip was slightly digging into my ankle during the day. I think wearing a pair of longer crew socks will fix this. But still, I have average sized ankles or whatever so anything bigger than that might be too tight a fit to be comfortable.

Great Chelsea Boot. I ordered it with the Kenneth Cole Reaction Salt Chelsea Boot and the Vagabond Amina and the Clarks won the comfort test. These boots just fit me better than the other two (nothing against them). The Clarks were comfortable right from the start - no break-in period needed. I can wear a 6-1/2 or 7 shoe, so I ordered the 7 Medium and they fit perfectly.

These are a classic, black leather boot. I was looking for something in a Chelsea style and these probably aren't exactly true to style, but they're not heavy or bulky and manage to still be supportive. I find myself wearing them by default if I know I'm going to be walking a lot or if I'll be wearing them all out day. They fit me true to size - I'm somewhere between a 7 and a 7.5 and went with a 7.5 in these so I could wear thicker socks if I felt like it. I usually just wear a thinner sock with some sort of character on it though - I haven't felt like I needed the extra padding with these boots. No regrets on purchasing these and I think they'll hold up for a few years at least.

Buy these boots! They could easily be mistaken for $350 Cole Haans or $500 Jenni Kaynes! They are a beautiful, luxurious, tobacco color and are incredibly well made! Well done, Clarks! Seriously, I'm stunned these are made by a "comfort" brand, because they're so gorgeous. The footbed padding is thick and they feel terrific right of the box! Perfect year round in SoCal. Slightly longer than my other 8.5s, but it doesn't bother me at all! Don't hesitate!

I totally love these boots. I needed some blue shows to wear with pants and jeans and these are perfect. I love the color of the blue suede. The heel is really flat, which is fine. I would probably prefer a little more of a stacked heel, but the heel height sort of goes with the whole basic look of the boot. I ordered both 8 and 8 1/2 (Wide) and ended up keeping the 8. I am usually a size 8 if the width is really a Wide, but some of the other reviews mentioned these being a bit narrow, so I ordered the half size larger, just in case. No need. There is room for my arch inserts in the 8. The boot opening has a narrower ankle width, which I do like, especially with skinny jeans. I wore them all day on my first wearing and they were super comfortable. I would definitely recommend!

These are great looking shoes and feel like really good quality. I've been searching for a chelsea boot for a while and already returned a few disappointing options. These were exactly what I expected from the photo and fit perfectly. I'm a true 8.5 and they fit well. I was scared for a second because they were a tad snug with a thick sock, but they loosened up a tiny bit after walking around the house. With a normal sock they are perfect. They also have a good stretch for getting your foot in. I wore them for a full day of work and my feet felt fine. I wouldn't necessarily wear them on an all day excursion, but they are comfortable enough for daily wear.

I'm not sure I've ever been so immediately happy with a shoe. These arrived with many other boots last night; this morning I was in a rush for a meeting so i thought, I'll just wear them and then I've made a decision and i can't turn back. Holy moly was it the right decision. they have been on my feet all day - I even had to run a bit in them to catch a train and while running I thought about writing this review. lol. They feel completely broken in - they are so comfortable and supportive and well made!! no weird stitching on the inside that rubs funny, no slipping around. Everyone was right about how well they work with narrow ankles and heels AND on top of all this, my feet are warm on this frigid day. I think I found the perfect boot. thank you to all the reviewers ahead of me!!

I LOVE these boots! They are super comfortable. They definitely run about a half size too large. I’m usually a size 6 but the 6 in these was too big so I exchanged for a 5.5 and they fit perfect.

Got these in burgundy and they're really cute and pretty comfortable. The toe box is just a bit narrow, but not enough to return them. I'm sure the suede will stretch out a bit with wear. The color is just gorgeous, and the removable insole is a great option. Love these boots!

Unfortunately these didn't work for my foot. They were pretty stiff to get on and I have a high arch and need a bit more space at the top of my foot. Sad they weren't a fit for me. But they are so cute!

I wanted to keep these boots. The color is rich and beautiful. However, the leather is stiff and the side gores scrape against my ankles. The length and width were fine with minimum arch support.
