Customer Reviews Vagabond Shoemakers Frances

I was hesitant to order these at first. Other buyers had said that the boots were too small. I took a chance and ordered them. I am so glad that I did! They are gorgeous and fit my feet perfectly.

The Vagabond Frances Chelsea boots look and feel awesome once you get the right size. Reading previous reviews I had sized up from my normal US size 8.5 to a 9 (Euro 39), but the boots where way too narrow, I could barely get my foot in even with thin socks, so I exchanged them for a European size 40, which fit me well. My feet are on the narrow side, and I still wear the boots with thin socks which makes it a snug fit.

They are super beautiful and look like they cost more than twice as much. Sole is flexible. I am going to love wearing these. Might buy another pair! I hope this company makes more colors. Really a good find.

This is a quality, comfortable boot; however, I have big feet and the style looked rather masculine on me, so I returned.

The style is cute. It felt like a nice quality product. They ran small, so they went back. I wear a size 11. I was not interested in trying a size 12. They aren’t a super slim profile bootie and I figured they would make my feet look very large.

The fit and size were true. I ordered them for the pointed toe which is not always easy to find. Also tight enough at the top so pants don't get hung up on the top of the shoe. The are very stylish.

I own several pair of Vagabond boots and was looking to get a new pair for this Winter. Every pair I've had are comfortable, stylish, and really well crafted. They all have lasted me for 2-4 New York City winters. I liked the look of the more pointed toe on this style as opposed to a round toe so that's why I ordered them. But I didn't end up keeping them because for me the boot shaft was too high and hitting me in a weird spot. They would probably look cute with dresses but not sure they would work for my jeans and I rarely wear dresses in the winter so I returned them.

These run small (I think they’re more European sized and I always have to size up when this is the case). When I did, it was a perfect fit. Not ultra comfy but they’ll hopefully break in. My issue with these shoes is they are described as “patent leather” on the Vagabond website (the first “black” color), and they are shiny but this is not patent leather and are way less shiny than pictured.

Beautiful stylish boots, but they run small.

They do run 1 size big. I’m a size 9 and had to go up to the 10 however they do not look massive. I live in NYC and walked all around on day 1 of wearing and the shoes were very comfortable.

Stylish and sleek yet comfortable.

Super cute but the size runs small. I ordered half size bigger but felt way too tight. Unfortunately they don’t have bigger size available. :-(

Beautiful boots, but they run small.

the boot was very hard to pull on and almost impossible to pull off. Very difficult! boots need a zipper. Once on they felt stiff and tight.
