These boots are so pretty! The detailing of the butterflies is such a sweet touch and the lavender color is so beautiful. They were really easy to break in and so comfortable to wear! I’m so happy with my first pair of Lane boots! I did however notice there is slight peeling of the purple leather at the bottom where the sole meets, it’s very minor but something I noticed.
In love with my new boots! I wore them to the Cloud 9 tour in Indianapolis and they were so comfortable
Detailed review in case this helps someone! First of all, they are beautiful and great quality. I adore the turquoise and black color.
Sizing: I am a true 10.5 - I ordered 10.5 and they felt SO tight and hard to put on, I was concerned about injuring my feet (I have actually injured my foot before wearing shoes that were too tight so I have to be careful). I ordered the 11 to try as well and they were HUGE, it's a big jump up in size.
Break-in process: Decided to try breaking in the 10.5 around the house with the "wet sock trick" - put on a pair of medium-thick socks, spray the socks with a mix of 50% rubbing alcohol + 50% water, focusing on areas where the boots rub your foot or are the tightest, then wear the boots around the house until the socks are dry, repeat as needed,
Comfort: The boots broke in SO fast and became totally comfortable in just 1-2 short break in sessions. I wore the boots outside for the very first time to my 8+ hour long birthday party with a ton of walking and dancing on hard concrete and my feet felt great the whole time!! I never needed my back up shoes. I absolutely love these and would definitely buy Lane boots again.
Gorgeous! Such pretty boots I love them! Did take about 3-4 weeks to ship, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. But the boots themselves are perfect!
