Customer Reviews Vagabond Shoemakers Tara Patent Leather Boot

The boots are obsoletely gorgeous. However the are made for narrow feet. I have narrowed feet and a size 8-8 1/2. So I got a nine and they fit just perfect. Complements every time I wear them and they go with everything

Love these boots

I'm usually a 6.5-7 in women's shoes and the 7 fit perfectly. I like the platform and had no issues getting into the boots (though I am relatively petite at 100 lb). These boots are probably the most comfortable boots I have so far. Got them at a discount which was a plus.

I have a narrow 9.5 foot and went with 10 (40 eu) and they fit really well. Very sleek and stylish. If you have a wider calf they may hug your calf causing it to look like it’s squeezing a bit but not in such an unflattering way that you wouldn’t want to wear them. I’m very pleased with my purchase!

Really great! Quality, comfort stylish. Narrow and run small. I’m an 8.5 and got the 39, fits perfect with a thin sock.

I suggest ordering by the European size and not the US size. I had to return the first pair I ordered because they run small. I would also note that if you have heavy calves/ankles, these might not work well for you. They are a snug fit and I have skinny ankles. They are fine for me though, as I've had to return or donate boots that hurt my ankles. the toe box is roomy, making them really comfortable. (The current trend of "almond" shaped and pointy toes does isn't healthy!)

European size 36 in all shoes. Size 6 fit perfect. I have a fat ankle and they still fit perfectly!

Great boot!

I absolutely love these. Usually I’m a 7.5, but I went with the Zappos recommendation and got the 8. I’m glad I did, because they fit perfectly. I wear them almost every day. I’m on my feet a lot and they are very comfortable. I recently put a small heel cushion insert inside, but could also go without it. The only issue is that the material is delicate. I accidentally scraped the toe of one boot going up the stairs and it took some of the cream color and the shine off.

I LOVE these boots. They are super comfortable and of great quality. Yes, as others have said, they run small and these higher ones are a bit harder to take on and off, but they are worth it! Just order one size up and use insert a gel heel pad if you have skinny heals like me.

These fit like a glove! No break-in time needed. Beautiful leather. The perfect platform Chelsea boot. I am usually a 10.5, and I bought the 11. Perfect fit. You won’t be disappointed!

Love these stylish boots! Might put a heel insert in for comfort- mine are slightly large.

So stylish! Well made lug sole boot that still looks polished.

True to size Sleek version of chunky boot trend- feels more classic :) Not heavy but narrow to put on FYI

Very cool, chic versatile boot for fall, pair with wide leg or skinny jeans or even dress. I bought to wear around Paris in November. Comfortable & fairly easy on/off if you have average shaped foot. Good quality leather too.

LOVEEEEEEEEE. I have very wide feet and wanted the non patent version but they were too narrow :(. The patent black in the same size fit so well though! They are comfortable and stylish and I never wear heels lol. I wore them to a kids birthday party and to run errands out for hours right out of the box and had no issues :).

These are the boots that have been out of stock at Free People for months. I love them, better than my DMartin Chelsea boots. My feet are very narrow and these fit so amazing. The ankles are snug but not tight. There isn't a lot of tread on the bottom so I am not sure how they would do in icy or wet conditions. Super fast delivery and they have 3 different colors vs. Free People's 2 colors.

I usually wear a size 9.5/10, usually sizing down in boots due to narrow feet. I ordered the 10 and they were way too small, returned and reordered the 11 is actually the perfect size for me, and I have never ordered a boot over a size 10 before. That being said this size does fit great and the narrow fit and slimmer ankle is perfect for my narrow feet, whereas other boots of a similar style are almost always clunky and too wide. Love them but definitely size up an entire full size!

The boots are very cute, very comfortable and I can't wait to wear them! I got the off-white/parchment color and I really like it, although I wasn't looking for a completely "white" boot. My shoe size is usually 8-8.5, I am glad I ordered size 39 as the 38's would have been too small. The platform is a nice addition! Who can't use a little height!

Platform boots that don’t look chunky. Love them. I added an arch insert, and now they’re comfortable too.

These boots are perfect! They have a platform/kinda chunky but don't really feel or look that way. It's definitely a more elegant way of trying out the platform/chunky boots trend and they go with literally everything. The opening is kinda tight and requires some effort to get on because there are no zippers obviously but it's very spacious and comfortable.

These are exactly what I wanted! Love these boots, super comfortable!

Based on other reviews, I was worried these would be a bit narrow. They are not narrow, and they are true to size. I have a bunion on my left foot and they feel fine.

I'm usually an 8, but the size 8 is way too tight. The 9 fit perfectly. Very easy to walk in these boots, I would highly recommend. I also tried on the Cosmo 2.0 and Tara leather/comb boots. This version of the Tara boot seemed the most casual out of the three to me, and would match a variety of outfits. The stretchy sides also make it easy to take the shoe on and off.

Absolutely the most comfortable and light weight boots. Definitely size up; I’m an 8 and trusted the other reviews to go up a size and am glad I did. They don’t look huge and they fit well with socks (possibly need to wear socks when wearing tights) and are easy to slip on. I don’t have super slender lower calves but if mine were larger than 11 inches they would be tight.
