East - Stivali Alti in Pelle Bianchi

I love the boots the only thing I would say is that they are a bit loose around my calves but that was to be expected from the photos online and after wearing them once the dark brown sole around the toes has rubbed off, which is disappointing because it will get worse each wear.

The boots were very well made — a bunch of the quality issues from previous reviews have been addressed. It’s definitely polished and high quality looking.

I’m a 35.5 usually and decided to size up, which was a great idea because if you wear thick winter socks, getting your true size would’ve been tight. With a 36 I was able to wear thick socks without the boot being too tight.

With stockings or thin socks, the 35 probably would’ve fit.

I’m a 5.5 US normally and I ordered a 36 so that I can have space for thick winter socks. I was able to fit one thumb behind my foot with normal thin socks. The sole isn’t too cushiony which is why I sized up so that i can put a sole inside for longer walking comfort. It’s perfect! If you don’t plan to wear this in the winter or care too much about the cushion, I’d get your true size.

Quality of the boots is amazing! I guess judging from older reviews, they probably improved it

First of all, these are a beautiful boot and I'm super sad to write a poor review. I bought these in the off white, but will be returning.
PROS:
Gorgeous shape
Beautiful color
Just looks so chic on

CONS:
Stitching is sub par and uneven? Really looks like low quality work, **even** if it was hand stitched.
Stitching was really uneven on the zipper tabs and zigzagged in a haphazard way.
Stitching on the front and side of the boots also just looked like poor quality -- the holes alternated with being tiny and huge and at some part it looked like the thread even skipped a hole or two.
Heel is vey light plastic that doesn't seem durable. There is a small rubber pad on the heel, but the sole of the shoe in general seems very thin and unreliable.

Super sad because the aesthetic and the silhouette are amazing. I've also heard from friends that their Alohas sandals are great, but unfortunately the craftsmanship on these boots were just obviously sub par..

My first purchase from the brand. The boots arrived quickly and look exactly as advertised.
Color is like shown on pictures, I also find them to be true to size and the fit is great.
Didn't have the chance to wear them for an extended period of time yet but, upon trying them at home they do feel comfortable..
The material feels very nice and good quality. However, for the price I think I expected and slightly smoother, suppler leather.
I am giving them 4 stars also because of the heel.
It's not a deal breaker (not returning the shoes and still purchased another pair) but let's just say I was a bit disappointed. The heel is made out of a wood looking-like plastic and it just feels so cheap to me.
Obviously when the boots are on, it's not noticeable but personally, I would have much preferred a leather covered heavier heel or made out of actual wood.
