I purchased the Lane Emma Jane bootie and wore them for the first time this evening. I walked and stood for hours. They are comfortable. I am very pleased at how comfortable they are. I was standing in them for so long. I usually need to wear comfortable shoes. These boots are chic, cool and COMFORTABLE. LOVE them. I am ordering a 2nd pair of Lane boots.
I love the versatility of the toffee brown color and the comfy look of the suede with the eye-popping teal that makes it unique. I was really between sizes and the color I wanted was out of stock in all sizes so I originally ordered from Amazon (size 7.5-my usual size) and I couldn’t even get my foot into the boot. They were cute and smelled of genuine leather but I still wasn’t sure I wanted the next size up (I am incredibly indecisive). So I thought about it for a couple weeks and when I checked back on the Lane website they happened to have the color I loved in size 8 so I purchased and prayed.
The fit on arrival and felt surprisingly comfortable right out of the box (like others mentioned). I had a weekend before the trip and was recommended by multiple friends to wear them around the house to break them in before late nights out dancing but I just simply didn’t get around to it- the best part is they were SO COMFY even though I never broke them in.
For reference - I am closer to a size 8 and my foot length is about 9.5 inches.
*As a side note- I was nervous about getting the suede dirty so sprayed them down twice before wearing. I would recommend that.
I would recommend not wearing white socks with them though - they stain.
These are rock star boots, not for the faint hearted. The ruby color, their height, their intricate leather swirls, and zillions of studs command compliments. Match it with the cossette jacket and you are set for Hollywood. The boots are comfortable and sized correctly. They are expensive but not out of proportion to their unique quality and style.
