Customer Reviews Vagabond Shoemakers Brooke Leather Stretch Bootie

Please be advised by earlier reviews and size up… Meaning, if you normally wear a 40 buy a 41. I wear a 40 in Free People and I have some Vagabond Shoemakers mules in 40 and that’s my natural size. In this boot I bought a 41 and it fit. I initially bought these to wear out in Vegas. Sadly they arrived too late :( However, on the plus side, I tried these on with my Free People overalls for a Saturday afternoon get together and they looked great dressed down too! BTW in Vegas almost everyone now is wearing platform shoes or low sandals to the clubs because it doesn’t make sense to go to an EDM Club and dance all night in spike heels. So I still intend to wear these to a club with a little black dress in future. I also plan to wear these with baggy Jeans or trousers and a nice belt. Anyway, 5 stars for the look and fit once you get go up in size. The toe box looks wide with the square toe but it’s not as roomy as it looks. At the same time, I have a bunion on my right foot and these still fit comfortably. I’m 5’7 and 145 pounds and the calf fit great not too tight or loose. Cheers!

I ordered up a size because the reviews said they ran small. I usually order a 39 and ordered a 40. They fit perfect.

Beautiful boots, they're really cute. But just a warning, the calf on these are tiny. I am 5'5 and 95 pounds, my legs are very very small and these are the only boots that have ever fit my calves. There is no stretch to them at all. I believe the shaft circumference is 10. There is about a centimeter of a gap when I wear these. Overall good quality and I'm happy with them so if you have small legs I recommend!

great product but not Im short so it doesnt fit me proportionately.

I love the retro 90's/early 2000s vibe of these. The quality of Vagabond shoes IMO is impeccable (I own 3 pairs). They aren't the most comfortable compared to my others, but based on previous experience, they may break in fairly quickly. I like that you can dress these down or up, basically a multi-purpose boot. Caution if you have thicker calves, as they will be tight. I have the opposite problem so love these (not often I find boots that fit snuggly in the calves).

They suggest you size up if you are a half size, so I went from an 8.5 to a 9 and they fit well. These are really cute and stylish. Vagabond makes great quality shoes and these are no exception. I love that the shaft part is tight fitting—gives them a sleeker look. I really can’t wear heels any longer, but the platform on these made it pretty easy to walk in them. But alas, I just didn’t feel I could pull these off, so I’m returning them. If I were in my 20”, 30’s or even 40’s, I’d have definitely kept these because they are very cool. I just felt kind of weird in them.
