Customer Reviews Naturalizer Verney Weatherproof Bootie

I adore these boots! I'm 5'10" and for the longest time have avoided wearing any heeled shoes for fear of towering (even more) over the average male. Having realized, however belatedly, that my height has nothing to do with anyone else and that I don't need to shrink myself for the benefit of others, I have been on the search for the perfect black heeled boot. After all that research, I came across and purchased these rather on a whim, knowing I could count on Zappos' simple, free, and quick return process if they didn't work out. They did work out, and are pretty much the only thing I've worn outside since they arrived. They look great with tights and equally great with jeans. The chunky heel makes them comfortable to walk and stand in, the zipper glides smoothly, and the place where the rim of the shoes hits my ankle doesn't bother me at all (I've always worn socks or tights long enough to cover that area though, so I can't speak for what it would be like with short socks). These are probably the most expensive shoes that I own, but I feel they are worth every penny, and I look forward to wearing them for many seasons to come (because they are even waterproof!!)

Color does not match the picture at all. In the picture the toe is a slightly different color. In person the color is uniform and a much different tone than in the pictures. It is a light caramel color.

I love these boots but I found that they were to narrow in the toe area and my toes were getting crunched. I went up a 1/2 size and the same thing was happening. I am bummed. Other than that they fit great on the rest of the foot and walking in them was wonderful except for the tightness on the front of the foot. Unfortunately they have to go back.

Everything is great, it is a perfect pair of shoes. But the person who is responsible for the color should be punished. :) I was looking at it everyday with a hope I will get used to it. But I am pretty sure anytime I would wear it I would feel uncomfortable. It is nothing like in the picture, it is a poisonous shade of brownish yellowing plastic looking color. Such a shame. Shoes themselves are fantastic but color is killing everything positive.

Absolutely gorgeous, but the medium width was too small at the opening once zipped. I never thought of myself as having large ankles, but apparently that's the case, as least for these. You definitely want room for either socks, or to tuck in your leggings or skinny jeans, and that wouldn't be possible—the leather was snug-bordering-on-tight at the top. I'll look at an alternate Naturalizer bootie with a wider opening.

These shoes were tight in the toe area...they felt like a N or narrow size. They were very very tight for a size 9 wide

I wear a "normal" wide. This is a very narrow Wide width. Nice boot but skimpy., more like a medium width

I still love these a year later. Comfy on my wide feet.

The shoe was comfortable overall but the leather was one single color, no ‘distressing’ or darker tones across the toe. As a result the leather looked to orange and cheap.

Style was cute but very heavy and the shaft hits the shin where it is uncomfortable. Can't imagine walking in these boots for more than 10 minutes given the irritation on the legs. If they would have put a soft felt material there and with more stretch, it would have probably felt tolerable.

These are insanely comfortable boots. I typically walk 4-5 miles a day total to and from work, and even with the 3 inch heel, these are a breeze. They are also warm enough for a Michigan winter, my regular size fits great with wool socks. I wish they had a slightly pointier toe to look dressier with business casual/professional wear, but that’s a minor complaint. Love these so much.

Medium width was fine even though my feet are a bit wide. This is a comfortable all-purpose boot. I wore them all day right out of the box and they are still feeling fine. The style isn't sophisticated but the heel is pleasingly chunky while the upper is a bit more sleek. The boots have great tread. I think they will be quite versatile.

The fit and size were fine. I have a large ankle due to surgery years ago, but there are still areas where the ankle is sensitive. The top of the zipper happened to press on that area. The leather was stiff. I imagine that's due to waterproofing.
