I discovered Aliexpress in terms of buying shoes. Just a real discovery of the year. I have deliberately avoided him for so many years, fearing uncomfortable shoes. The only time I ordered myself loafers (good ones, by the way), but didn't dare to do something else. But in vain.
One of the reasons was that footwear in the mass market very rarely suits me, they are often somehow uncomfortable and like wooden ones. I have always preferred specialized shoe stores. As it turned out, factory China is often better than the mass market.
Let's make an agreement right away. I am not agitating you to buy shoes on Aliexpress. I just share my positive experience. Everything.
This fall I ordered my boots and boots. I already talked about my boots (I will leave a link at the end, they are very cool and relevant), today I will tell you about the boots.
There are trends, but there is a base. Lace-up boots are those shoes that do not lose their relevance. Absolutely basic model. Can be worn at any age, as long as you like it. They go well with jeans, trousers, feminine or knitted dresses, knitted suits and more.
For many years I have had this model in my shoe wardrobe, it's time to change the old ones, which have served me honestly for more than one year.
The boots have a rating of 4.9. Orders at the time of this writing are 483 pieces.
The upper material is cow leather. There are 2 options - with and without insulation. But both are demi-season, not designed for winter. Although winters are different for everyone, of course, in cold weather I prefer very warm shoes. I took boots without insulation.
My foot size is 23 cm, according to the size grid of the seller, I took 6 (36 European) size. I didn't miss, you can wear nylon tights and warmer ones. The dimensional grid is correct, they are not small, one might even say that there is a very small margin for a warm sock.
To measure your leg correctly, take sheet A4 and a pen. You will need to put 2 points (or circle your leg straight) in two places. Where is the longest toe, and, of course, where is the heel. Measure not under the heel, but from its back top bone. If the leg is very full or wide, usually add 1 size.
Lace-up boots, however there is a zipper on the side, it is very comfortable. If your leg is very narrow, you can tie the laces tighter. The outsole is a little rough, but not as rough as in many mass-market stores.
For me, this is the perfect option for a rough sole, because it has a sense of proportion. The sole is neatly stitched, everything is smooth.
The boot is slightly higher than usual, I liked it.
The boots came in vacuum packaging, each with a boot, inside there was foam. One shoe was slightly crumpled, but not in the toe area, but just below the laces. Absolutely not critical, however, I could not fail to note this fact for you.
There was practically no unpleasant smell, but I read in the reviews that someone had it, however, it quickly disappeared. The boots are not heavy by weight, for some reason I expected them to be heavier. This is a plus.
