SodaFIRM - Lug Sole Combat Ankle Bootie Lace up w/Side Zipper

I've been wearing these boots daily for a month and a half and I don't have any complaints yet. I'd definitely recommend them, but if you're hesitant, wait. Prices seem to vary a lot over time and between colors/sizes, so it may be worth keeping an eye on them and biding your time. I got my pair on sale for $17.49. I think full price was $20-something. As I'm writing this review, the color I bought is $44.99 and the color immediately to the right of it is $21.74. I'd definitely be willing to pay more for these shoes than I did, but you might be able to get them at a steal.As for the shoes themselves, the first thing I noticed taking these out of the box was that they were surprisingly heavy. The soles are thick, and the weight is hopefully a reflection of their quality. The insole is incredibly firm, so I wouldn't recommend doing a lot of walking in them, but I haven't found them uncomfortable. I'm a size 7.5 in some shoes and and an 8 in others. The 7.5s just happened to go on sale, and they fit me perfectly. True to size, but if you're between sizes, I'd size down. The finish on the Imsu shoes is suede-esque, and the toes scuffed a bit pretty much immediately, but that was inevitable and it's hardly noticeable. Who knows what state they'll be in a year from now, but I have no complaints after a month and a half of wearing them daily. Looks-wise, they're classic chunky combat boot. Day-to-day, they go with everything. I replaced the laces with a red pair, and I've gotten several compliments on them, and I couple people asking me where they came from. They look good; they make me feel good; they were a good purchase.

I love my new kicks!They are gorgeous to look at, green, yum, and give confidence of stability, whether dancing or kung foo fighting!!Or if you are planning an outing or running errands, these boots are going to get you there!I laced them up with fleece knee-high socks, and they feel very stiff but secure in the ankles and seem to have balancing-act stability.I haven’t tried them outdoors yet but I think they are pretty versatile!I will wear them under my maxi skirts for errands.So on to the pet groomers!Enjoy!I love the green color with black soles and laces!! Yum! Feet Candy ….

I really like these boots, even my 13 year daughter thinks they are pretty. The price is very good. I love the color. The material it is made of is very sturdy. I love that it has a side zipper and front laces. I would recommend wearing long socks, otherwise if you wear socks at ankle, your skin rubs with boot and your skin can get irritated. A thick pair of socks would give it more cushion. Comfortable . They have excellent traction on the bottom, thus makes the boots nonslip. I would definitely buy again.

These boots are super cute and I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. Buyers should know that the photos provided to show the boots do not show the zipper that the boots have. Located on the inner part of the boot or you can just lace them up. The laces are black in my opinion and a 7.5 is closer to the size of an 8. If you have a wide foot like I do, a 7.5 work perfectly as the shoe gives extra room and you don’t have to worry about blisters forming. For the price point, I am happy I made the purchase as navy lace up boots are hard to find!

I love these boots. I wear them for work and out of work. I do have to buy them at least once a year and I wish the soles were more sturdy and had better grip, but I love the fit of them especially having wide feet. 8.5 wide width is a perfect true to size fit.

I'd been on the fence with combat boots. I'm usually slow to come around to new fashion trends and I'm seeing these EVERYWHERE now so, here we are. I picked black patent, size 10. The photos, product description and sizing is correct. I have an average to narrow foot so, I couldn't speak to fit/sizing/comfortability for a person with a wider foot. I wore these out today and have zero complaints. There's a teeny squeak when I walk on uncarpeted flooring but, not terribly bad. Nice traction and comfortable padding, not memory foam or anything like that though (wouldn't expect that in a combat boot anyways). The shiny patent black is so pretty (no scuffs), the zipper is easy to manipulate but, did not move even a cm during the entire time I wore them. The laces stayed tied the duration of use (that's important bc some laces slip untied way too easily). It's in the 50's today and my feet stayed warm with a basic sock. They weren't too tight around my ankles, even with slightly larger than average calf. I foresee tons of cute outfits with these boots!

First off, I was brand new to these types of boots/shoes. I was only wearing sneakers and/or hiking boots before.Now, I love these boots. They fit my orthotics perfectly. I love the side zipper and still have the shoe laces to adjust the fit of the shoe around my feet (or thickness of my socks). All so perfect.BUT…the soles are crap. The listing says “faux rubber”, which I guess means plastic? Whatever it is, it’s really slippery on any smooth surfaces. I can literally ‘skate’ across the floor while grocery shopping and pushing the cart. Not very safe to wear at work.So these shoes should be considered for fashion only if you want them to last longer than a few (3-4) months. The soles of my shoes broke all the way through to the foot pad on one of them and the other one has a hairline fracture starting to happen. I got them in Nov ‘23. Granted these shoes have become my everyday shoes, which also included becoming snowshoes during this last winter, so I’m sure that didn’t help its longevity. I’ve already tried fixing the huge crack with shoe glue, but it broke again within a day.My actual star review amount would be 3 1/2 and the recommendation that these shoes should be for fashion only. But they did let me experience these new types of shoes, which I’ll try out with different brands in the future.
