Let me start by saying these ROPER booties are *adorable*. The faux-leather upper gives off that perfect Western-meets-modern vibe, and the embroidered details make them stand out. I’ve worn them with jeans, skirts, and even dresses—super versatile!

The comfort level is a win. The padded insole is a lifesaver for all-day wear, and the soft lining prevents any rubbing or blisters. I’ve walked miles in these without discomfort, which is rare for new boots.

Now, the sizing drama. Like many reviewers, I struggled here. I’m usually an 8, but these ran big—way big. After exchanging for a 7.5, they fit better but still needed thicker socks. If you’re between sizes or have narrow feet, definitely size down.

A few quirks: The toe box is snug (great for style, less so for wide feet), and the heel height (1-2”) is just right for a subtle lift without wobbling. Traction? Solid—no slips on wet pavement.

Downsides: Some pairs arrived creased due to poor packaging (ugh), and color inconsistencies happened (ordered black, got… darker black?). Also, break-in time exists—don’t expect instant cloud-like comfort.

Verdict? 4/5 stars. Cute, comfy after sizing acrobatics, but QC issues annoy. Worth it if you nail the fit!
