Customer Reviews Steve Madden Hayle Boots

These are so cute and I love how tight the shaft fits to the leg and the profile of the sole BUT the tab on the back is tiny and I couldn’t get my finger through to loop either. I have a narrow foot, ankle, calf situation but couldn’t get it on without sticking a pen through the loop to get leverage to pull the boot on. I think that is why it looks so good on. Taking it off was easy, but I was in a full giggle situation putting it on with a tool. If another pair hadn’t been a bit easier or the tab had been big enough for leverage with just my finger, I would have kept them. But I was envisioning me at the airport trying to get them back on and it would have just been such a scene.

I’m a 9.5 wide in most shoes/boots/sneakers and occasionally 9 wide. The 9.5 wide fits perfectly. I found them easy to get on, and they do not feel tight on my leg. Love the beige suede and considering getting the black leather.

Fit is great I love these boots my ankles are very small and these don’t make my legs look like their floating in my shoes

Joke is on me. I read several reviews that these were difficult to put on and they were 100% accurate. Difficult doesn’t even do it justice. Shoe was comfortable and loved the style (reason for the 2 stars). However it was not enough to overcome putting the boots on and struggling to get them off.

Super cute shoes and fit perfectly. Were a bday present for my niece and she loves them.

Comfortable and look great. I like that the “sock” part of it means it clings lightly to the leg and doesn’t have an air gap like so many boots do. That said, I didn’t keep them because I wanted a bit more of a platform heel and bold/dressy look.

This is a cute bootie. Seems to be true to size, but I could not get one bootie on my due to the tight ankle area. Very difficult/impossible to put on.

These boots were too hard to put on.

Loved the old version of these SM boots but they don't make them anymore. Was a size 7.5 in the old style and a 7 fit well in this new style. Very happy with the new version.

Love these!

These are really cute and super comfortable. I just didn’t care for the stocking shaft. There is nothing wrong with these boots. It is just a personal preference thing. I will be returning them, but I would recommend them to anyone else who doesn’t mind the tight fit at the ankles.

This boot was simply too large on me. It was comfortable & cute.

I just recvd my black 8.5 M's and I am convinced that they are somehow smaller than the bone 8.5 Ms that I ordered last yr. I honestly do not recall struggling to put them on. Had I had that rough of a time, I would not have purchased a 2nd pair. My first pair just feel different from go. I am keeping them because once I do get them on, they are pretty comfy for long term wear. I'm hoping they stretch out. Pro tip, get a shoe horn or something to stick into the loop on the back and shimmy them up. Or, just don't buy them. This pair is kind of a pain. Fyi, I am ordinarily a 7.5 or 8 Reg so size up.

Super cute. but like others there was no way to get my foot in the shoe!!

I like the overall look of these boots, but they are too difficult to put on. I should have known after reading the reviews but I thought that they could not actually be that hard to get on. They are. They look nice once you get them on, but that took about 10 minutes and a lot of struggling. Have to return.

I normally wear a 7 but figured I might wear these boots with large/warm socks. Glad I got the 7.5 - they just fit with large socks. I found the same issue as other reviewers. Nearly impossible to get on my feet. The loop in the back is too small for finger to loop through to pull it on. Used a pair of scissors for leverage once time and a screwdriver the second time I tried. Just too much hassle. They were very comfortable once I had them on, but no one should break out in a sweat getting their shoes on. Had to return.

Impossible to get on with socks. The loop in the back is tiny, way too small for a finger to fit thru. I even bought a shoe horn to help get these on and it was still nearly impossible. I really wanted to love these but I'll have to send them back, sadly.

The rubber heel ripped in the middle of my work day. So embarrassing and inconvenient because I had to work the rest of the shift that way.

I have a different pair in the same size and these feel much bigger

Came dirty and looked used!! do not buy

I fit my right foot in without a sock but can’t even get my left foot in and neither will fit with a sock. This has never happened to I’m stumped. Very disappointing as they are cute boots

So tight I could not get my foot in, so stiff I didn’t try for more than 2 seconds. Don’t know how people walk in these!
