This time of year, you’ll find me in boots pretty much every day. I’m not partial when it comes to the style — I’ll wear ankle boots, knee-high boots, and OTK boots. Honestly, if you peek inside my closet, you’d probably be surprised at the number of boots I own.
I first saw these Loeffler Randall knee-high boots a couple of years ago. I wanted to pull the trigger then, but I was pregnant with Four and just wasn’t sure I would wear them enough to justify the nearly $700 price tag.
Fast forward to this year. I found them on major sale earlier this fall and knew I had to have them. I’d had buyer’s remorse ever since passing them up before… and I was like 9 months pregnant in maternity clothes so I couldn’t really splurge on clothes since nothing would fit. 😉
I did look at a few alternative versions that weren’t quite so expensive. Madewell actually makes a super similar style at half the cost. But I’d heard really great things about these boots, so I decided to take the plunge.
Now that I’ve been wearing them for a few months, I decided it was time to share some of my thoughts on these boots. I get messages every time I post them, so I figured it would be helpful to have a place where all of my FAQs live on the blog! Hopefully, this will give you some insight if you’re considering these boots. If there’s anything I left out that would be helpful to know, comment below and I can update the post.
WHAT IS SIZING LIKE FOR THE Loeffler Randall Goldy Boots?
All Loeffler Randall shoes are made to fit TTS, so I went with my regular shoe size of 7. After wearing them quite a few times, I will say that the toe area is a little tight, so if you have wide feet or are typically in between sizes, you might want to size up.
I was a little skeptical since these don’t have a zipper, but the shaft area fits easily with any normal pair of socks. I actually really like that the area around the calf isn’t too tight or too loose. I’ve had boots that felt both ways and they’re equally uncomfortable/annoying.
ARE THEY ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE?
IMO, yes! Any boot with a heel can be hit or miss. I definitely own several pairs of heeled boots that aren’t easy to walk in or that hurt my feet after I’ve worn them for a few hours. But I’ve had these since I was pregnant, and even at 9 months pregnant, I felt comfortable walking in them. They come with a padded footbed, which I think helps as well.
WHAT IS THE COST OF THE Loeffler Randall Goldy Boots?
At $695, I’m fully aware that these boots are on the higher end of the budget. However, as soon as these were delivered, I recognized the quality of the vachetta leather. There’s also NO glue on these boots, which is a huge plus. IYKYK.
ARE THE Loeffler Randall Goldy Boots WORTH THE COST?
If you’re one of those people who value a good pair of boots and can make them last for several years, I think this is a good investment. They’re an incredibly classic silhouette, so you won’t run the risk of them going out of style any time soon. I really like where they hit on my leg (I’m 5’3″ for reference), and I can wear them with dresses, jeans, and leggings.
I’ve had these for a few months now, and I’ve worn them a lot. I opted to go with the cognac color because they can be paired with more items in my closet, but they also come in beautiful black, khaki, and espresso colors.
I should note that these do not come with a dust bag. This kind of surprised me considering they cost nearly $700. I did find out that they do this in order to reduce their impact on the earth and create a more sustainable brand, which I appreciate. I don’t usually store my shoes in their original dust bags, so this wasn’t a deal breaker for me, but I know it might sway some of you in a different direction.
