The plastic bags do the tricks….
5.2.2013-
"I was hesitating about the color, and the stock ran quickly as these were on sale, so I end up order both color in size 6 (I’m size 5 but with width C, so I usually have size in 5.5 or 6). When I finally received these babes, it took around 20 min for me to take them on and 10 min to take off. I tried everything that came to my mind, with socks, with thin socks, without socks, then with plastic bags and voila, I finally put my feet in it! However, my question is that after you take them in, how do you do with the plastics bags? Wear them within these boots? Would it be awkward? And despite it’s such a pain in the axx for me to put the shoes on, they fit me perfectly, so if I ordered size 7, it would be too large for me and if I wear thick socks, how could I ever put my feet in it? All in all, I give it a 4 star as both brown and black one looks awesome."

i know everyone's complaining butttttt

"everyone's talking about how hard they are to get on butttt theyre sew freakin cayoot! i got them in a black 8 and they look amazing. i will admit that they are incredibly difficult to put on but DO NOT BE AFRAID just cutting down the inside of the top of the boot looks good and makes it the opposite of difficult to put on :) i even have some room in the pointy toe which i thought would be uncomfortable. they literally go with everything any season <3"

Boho Booties!
4.5.2013-
"I am a huge Jeffrey Campbell shoe fanatic and noticed that these cute booties were on sale for such an awesome deal! After reading the reviews, I ordered these boots one size larger than my normal size, which works well for me. I ordered the brown, which is a little lighter color than I expected, but a beautiful brown to say the least. I really love these boots, and I'm looking forward to having some fun with them! They are really soft and comfortable to wear... And the heel height is perfect!"

Love my Sawyer ankle booties :0)
3.27.2013-
"Just received my booties today in both brown & black. I must say I am in love & so glad I purchased both colors. Im in between an 8.5/9 medium width, bought these in a 9 & they fit comfy with socks. However I did have the same problem as other reviewers mentioned with the opening being too tight :0( No problem! I just cut them on the opposite side of the fringes enough to get my foot through the opening & viola! I’m going to have a shoe repairman add a piece of leather where I cut them :0)"

Can't get em on!
3.27.2013-
"These are absolutely beautiful to behold. I had been waiting for them for ages, but when I finally got them, I couldn't get my foot in them. I thought, maybe I need to size up... no such luck. There is no zipper (which I love! but adds some difficulty), and my feet aren't abnormal. I was so disappointed. Jeffrey, you let me down!"

Most strenuous boots, ever.
3.25.2013-
"It's undoubtable that these boots are awesome, but since they lack elastic, a zipper, or even a bootstrap, they are almost impossible to pull onto your feet. It cost me a half hour and nearly two thumb nails trying to put these babies on, and needless to say, it was exhausting and frustrating. I'm going to keep them and hope they stretch out over time, for they are much too awesome to let go, but next time, I'll be certain not to purchase boots with such a major design fail. I want my shoes to make me feel good and confident, not aggravated!"

Oh no! I have tried these on too and had to size up about 1/2 a size. As you wear them, they should loosen up a bit. If you have any problems with them please feel free to email us at service@freepeople.com and we'll see what we can do!! xoxo

"Ok, so these boots DO run small at the opening of the boot and can be difficult to get on... However I sized up and they fit perfectly!! I got the black in size 10(am usually a 9) and they are truly amazing. Comfortable too- barely needed breaking in!! I'm so happy I added them to my boot collection (="

dissappointed
1.22.2013-
"I've been waiting for these to go on sale and was so excited after the holidays to order them. They took over 2 weeks to receive and after waiting patiently, they were not what I expected! First impression upon opening box was the color was nothing like the brown pictured on website. They were more of a taupe-grey and really distressed looking. Secondly, I could not get my foot in the opening! I almost twisted my ankle just trying to pull them on. I couldn't even get my heel in. Unfortunately, I returned and even the sales associate at cashier said she couldn't get them on either!"

Comfy
8.14.2012-
"Like the other reviewers, I had a bit of trouble getting them on at first. However, I didn't find it to be impossible. After wearing them a couple times the top has loosened up a bit and they're easy to put on and take off now. They're super cute and very comfortable, but I found them to run a bit big. I'm normally a 7 but if there had been a 6.5 I would've taken that instead. The color was also not as pictured, yet still very nice. I got the brown and it's more of a taupe. Overall a really cute, versatile boot!"

WEAR THEM IN AND ITS SO WORTH IT!!
8.13.2012-
"I agree with the other reviewers that these boots are almost IMPOSSIBLE to get on at first. I originally sized up in order to be able to get the boots on, but once I got them on they were too big. So I risked it and got my normal size and am so happy I did! Here's the trick: wrap a plastic bag around your heel the first couple of times you put them on. Yes its still hard to get them on when you do this but it makes it possible to get them on at least. After you do this a couple of times they are already loosened up a good bit. But what I did to make them even better was spray that leather softener spray (you can also just dampen them with water) around the ankle/heel and then stuck my foot in there halfway and wiggled it around a bunch. Then I wore them around until the spray dried and now they're perfect and easy to get on. Definitely worth the work for these amazing boots!"

buzz kill
8.9.2012-
"what a buzz kill! these boots are so cute, too bad the opening of them is made for mini feet and there's no way anyone is getting these puppies on. I just broke a sweat trying! Jeffery campbell fail! a zipper would have been nice or a little give in the leather. something!"
Response from Free People:By FPJulieB, Web, 8.10.2012
Hi! We are sorry that these didn't work out for you. We recommend sizing up in this boot. A few of us tried these boots on and found that sizing up allowed us to get our foot in the opening of the boot. Hope this helps!
