Okay, so I finally got my hands on these Soda Sincere booties, and here’s the tea ☕.

First off, they’re ADORABLE. Like, even my picky teen niece gave them a nod of approval. The elastic side straps? Chef’s kiss 👌. They look way more expensive than they are, and I’ve already gotten compliments comparing them to Beth Dutton’s boots (yasss).

Fit-wise, I’d say they’re pretty true to size. I’m usually an 8-8.5, and these fit like a glove. But heads up—some reviewers said they run small, so maybe size up if you’re between sizes or have wider feet.

Comfort? Surprisingly good! The material feels soft (though some said it’s more ‘felt-like’ than suede), and they’re supportive enough for all-day wear. But… the soles are SLIPPERY. Like, ‘ice-skating-in-a-grocery-store’ slippery. I slapped some grip tape on the bottom, and now we’re golden.

Now, the not-so-great: that ankle collar? OOF. For some folks (me included), it’s stiff as a board and digs in like it has a personal vendetta. Breaking them in might help, but fair warning—if you have sensitive ankles, proceed with caution.

Verdict? 8/10. Cute, versatile (dress ’em up or down!), and comfy once you solve the sole situation. Just pray your ankles survive the break-in period 😂.
