Steve Madden Women's Alaskka Boot

 (5 customer reviews)

This is a cool boot that has a low heel for those that want some height but still some comfort. I haven't worn them out yet but they seem okay comfort wise. I don't usually like Western style boots but these aren't actually THAT Western.. its something that I can deal with. This pair of boots fits true to size, I am a size 7 and got a 7 and they fit perfectly. The pictures don't do it justice, I personally think it looks much better in person.

The boots look great, but they're definitely not meant for walking. The soles are very thin, there's no insoles or any lining/padding inside (and they feel pretty rough inside). After walking for more than 15 minutes it becomes a painful experience - forget ever dancing in them. I tried using some cushioned insoles, but the boots become very tight accross the arches if I use any fillers. I'm about to take them to the shoemaker and have a layer of something added to the outer soles, but really, for this price, they shouldn't need any such adjustments.

These boots are comfortable however the arches are a bit narrow even though i have narrow feet. They're true to size. The leather (suede) is very good quality and has a distressed look toward the heel. I'd highly recommend especially at 27$.
