Okay y'all, these Soda Pilot booties have been through it all with me - from coffee runs to date nights - and here's the real tea ☕

First off, the STYLE is everything! That chunky lug sole gives major 'cool girl' vibes while still being work-appropriate. I've gotten more compliments on these than any designer shoes I own. The elastic sides make them stupid easy to slip on when I'm running late (which is always).

COMFORT LEVEL: Surprisingly good for a trendy boot! The 1.5" block heel is perfect - enough lift without killing my feet. Though PSA: SIZE UP! I'm normally an 8 but got 8.5 and could've even gone to 9 for winter socks.

The DURABILITY shocked me. After walking through city slush all winter, they still look brand new after a quick wipe down. No peeling or weird creases like cheaper boots get.

Only con? The sole stays pretty stiff forever. Not great for all-day museum marathons, but fine for normal wear with some thick socks or insoles.

Final verdict? 9/10 would recommend to anyone wanting stylish yet practical boots that won't break the bank!
