LifeStride Gia2 Bhootie

I bought this a few weeks ago and they are already scuffed and worn-looking. Love the style and the fit, but they wear out quickly.

These look super cute in the picture but the truth is they aren't nearly as cute once you put them on. The zippers are a challenge to zip, they are wide and loose around the ankle which makes them look a little awkward, and they are tight in the toes. I want to love them but I just don't. I do think they have a comfy cushion though. I'll probably be returning them and try something else.

Once these booties are on, they look nice. Good luck with getting them on, though. I purchased a 6.5 pair, my usual size. In order to get the zipper to go up, I have to move my foot as far into the toe area as possible if I even want a chance to get the zipper to move. I will never wear them if I'm in a hurry to go somewhere because it takes so much time and effort to close them up. Once my feet are in, they actually seem a little roomy, which is odd. So it's not as if I need a bigger size. Now I'm thinking about purchasing a shoe stretcher just for these booties, just to make putting them on a little easier. I got them at a good price, but the shoe stretcher to make them longer comes at an added cost. Not sure I'd recommend these, although I do like the look of them once I get them on. I haven't worn them out yet and am keeping them in the shoe box, still deciding whether or not to return them.

I was very happy to find these as I had a different pair I wore for years until they became worn out. I was delighted to find them extremely comfortable, too. I will certainly get a lot of use out of these for both casual and dressy wear. The only reason I gave four out of five stars is because they are not real leather, but they look very good regardless.

Really pretty shoes that fit well and seem to be comfortable. Fit is TTS. But the zipper at the back jingles with every step. I don’t really want to announce my presence to the office as I walk down the hall! Wish they could have used either a stretch fabric /gore rather than a noisy zipper. They will be returned.

Getting on into the shoe was a little difficult as the zippers at the back are hard to zip up and you would have to push your leg really further up into the shoes before you can zip them up. But once in, they are quite comfortable and true to size.

I was in the market for a more delicate, petite, classy bootie for fall and winter. Got these on sale in summer once the right size was in stock. GREAT deal, fit, and bonus for year round wear. Edgy yet classy depending on what I pair with.

So happy to have found these. I’ve been looking for a bootie that I could dress up or down - looks good with a dress or jeans. These are the perfect bootie and so so comfortable. I am able to wear for 8-10 hours without any issues.
