Headstart Lace-Up Combat Boot (Women)

I had high hopes that this was going to be a good and sturdy brand but was disappointed. At first glance the material quality looked cheap. I only tried on one boot and could instantly feel it being much too tight squeezing my foot. I also noticed that there was not much cushioning so I could not imagine walking any distance with them. I do wear an 11 normally and my feet are not chubby, but these felt like being stuck in a tight pair of jeans after eating a large meal. Unfortunately I had to return them.

I have bought six consecutive pairs of these boots. I am in the service industry and so I am hard on shoes—these last me more than double the time of any other shoes I’ve tried & the are insanely non-slip. They take little to no break in time and I can take 7,000 steps with very little ache in my feet. They are well structured for support and not to mention super cute.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a 45 yr old woman who was suddenly struck down with excruciating inexplicable arch, heel, tendon, ankle, calf pain. I've tried inserts, sleeves, salves, shoes, you name it and finally bought these boots! I was excited that they are cute and also finally had the heel support that I've really needed, too. I love a lace/zipper combo--but they lost a star for 1) the laces ALWAYS come untied and 2) the shoes are pretty boring. I'll probably spray paint a heart on each one :) That's just me though!

The soles wear out within weeks. These are my daily boots and unfortunately the soles have cracks that run side to side on the bottom. This is my second pair. It happened with both. Generally I work inside so it doesn’t bug me, but gravel make it in through the bottom. The price of the boots is ridiculous when you take into account the cheap soles. Do better!!!
