I'm Happy after buyingThis Ellie Shoes Womens 253 REBECCA Mid Calf
These boots are exquisite. I consider myself to be pretty fashion forward, so I bought these boots for wearing on a normal basis. I don't have any cosutmes to wear them with, nor any weddings to attend. I just loved the style of boot and really wanted a pair for myself.
FIT:
- Fabulous. I wear an 8 in any heel lower than 3.5 inches, and these fit perfectly. I also have a slightly wider foot than normal (thought I wouldn't consider it "wide") and I was afraid these would be narrow. Not at all!
- The calf area is a little big. I have lean, muscular legs (from living in my stilettos) so my legs are a little smaller around than most women. These boots have room in the calf area, even when they are laced as tight as they can go. They are still pretty form-fitting, though. I still love them.
STYLE:
- The lace goes all the way up the boot. The boot goes up to mid calf. Then, there is this miraculous ZIPPER on the inside of each boot that allows you to lace it up just once, then from that point forward- zip and you're done! Lovely. And it doesnt distract from the elegance of the boot. It all looks nicely put together.
- The lace inlay is not see-through like I originally thought it was. It is white lace over white material. Still beautiful though.
- As much as I feared these boots would look a little "witchy" if worn with every day skirts and such, they really dont. I even put them on with a mini skirt yesterday and some pearls, and the boots still looked fabulous.
- Color is slightly off-white. I wouldn't say Ivory, and I wouldn't say White.
QUALITY:
- The material is a little low quality. I'm not sure if these boots will hold up through any kind of rain, snow, etc. But we're going to find out when I wear them as part of my shoe rotation this winter! I'm concerned the material might start to peel after water has touched it.
- The shoe feels sturdy and I'm not afraid it'll fall apart .
SHIPPING:
- 5 out of 5. Each boot was in it's own sleeve of plastic, stuffed with packing to keep their shape, then boxed, wrapped in shipping plastic and labeled. I received within 5 days after ordering.
I bought a pair of these shoes as a birthday present for my best friend. Like me, she's recently become a steam punk fanatic and currently is working on setting up her wardrobe. After expressing a want for a pair of "granny" boots, I hit the web. Little did I know I would be able to find a beautiful pair here. I was worried that they might look too sinister, but after seeing them up close I realize they were well worth it. My friend loves the shoes and expresses that they are very comfortable. I'll probably get a pair for myself.

These boots were so beautiful. I wore them with a saloon girl costume I bought, and they looked perfect! They have the laces to adjust the width, but once you adjust them to your liking, they have a side zipper, so you don't have to lace and unlace them. The zipper is concealed nicely. The lace overlay was gorgeous, and they were really comfortable to wear all night long.
ReplyDeleteA Kid's Review
ReplyDeleteI am an actress who was looking for some boots to go with my Victorian style costumes for a show I'm doing. Since I have to wear them on stage for long periods of time, comfort was key. I normally wear a size 7 or 7.5 and I ordered a size 8. I was a little concerned about the pointy toes, but these boots fit perfectly and are surprisingly comfortable. They are also easy to dance in. The lace panels have a thin black foam-like backing that makes the boots more breathable and ads to their beauty. The description doesn't say this but there are zippers on the inseam which makes quick costume changes a breeze. They do have a strong order when you first open the box, but just let them air out and you should be fine.
ReplyDeleteFor a carnival costume I wanted some black lace up boots thight to the leg and with 2-3" heel. I desperately searched countless shoe-shops and internet shops in Germany. But either they weren't close to the leg or they had no heel. Google leaded me into a blog and there I learned I had to search for "Victorian lace boots". And right here at Amazon there are sooooo many beautiful boots it was hard to make a choise. I ordered these Rebecca's because the material mix looked very special and attractive and it was the right choise. They were shipped very fast and I am absolutely in love with them. They are perfectly what I was looking for and they are very, very comfortable and I am looking forward to a lot of dancing in them.
ReplyDeleteThis shoes are very comfortable! The shipment was very fast, very reliable! Size is perfect, as well as length and fit! Amazing product! I'll definitely look to them again!
ReplyDeleteI love these boots! I wasn't sure if the shoe size would work out ordering them online, but they fit perfectly! The detail is gorgeous and I feel so lofty tromping around in them! Seller delivered quickly and product was as described^^
