These boots are great. Be careful with the sizing - I wear a 40 European, 9 US, and in their size menu I almost accidentally ordered a 39 because their size 40 is listed as a US 10. They fit very well, though they are a little tight with wool socks. They are actually surprisingly easy to walk in, given that they're made of wood. I could wear them all day from day one, straight out of the box. The only time they got uncomfortable was at the end of a very long day, when they started feeling really tight, but even then they were still pretty easy and comfortable to walk around in.

The pink nubuck is very cute but as I feared, they scuff easily and often, and are already looking a little grubby after a few weeks of regular wear. I would have gotten a darker color if they had all been the same price, and will get them in a darker color if one goes on sale!

These look exactly like what I expected and I love them. Others noted the stiffness in the reviews but I went for it anyway and they fit like a glove after two wearings. I didn't rank them a 5 only for that initial break-in period that is necessary. BUT IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT! These are super mega ultra adorable. I get compliments every time I wear them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2016
Size: 9Color: BlackVerified Purchase
This has been on the top of my shoe wish list for a few years and FINALLY I splurged on them this winter. I am a little wide at the balls of my feet so I was worried knowing that the Emy is on the narrow side. Bought them anyway hoping that the leather would mold to my feet. Surprisingly it didn't take long, about a month of very light usage--like once or twice a week for a few hours each time. Not bad at all. I can actually see a slight indentation of the balls of my feet in the shape of the leather. Pretty cool! I will say the first two times I wore them all day I jokingly called them my "lovely little torture devices". They got really achy after around 3 hours. But I would just take them off for 30 minutes while sitting and then put them back on, which helps so it wasn't too bad. Now they're perfect, the ankle is stretched out too. At first I always wore crew socks that were thick at the top to give some cushion and prevent soreness at the ankle. So because of the socks I didn't have any soreness at the shin/ankle area. So definitely wear crew socks that are thicker at the top. I wore SBiding warm crew socks I bought on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zip it Emy
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2014
Size: 9Color: RedVerified Purchase
It was a trial and error process with this bootie. I've tried on higher heeled Hasbeens before and 39 was too small for my 8.5-9 size foot. So I ordered a 40 in this boot as well, however the 40 was too large. It was also listed as "Military Green" color while in reality it was the "Gypsy Green" - you can see the two different greens on the official Swedish Hasbeens website. The latter green that I received is a much richer, punchier green. A little too green for my taste. So I exchange them for a 39 in red, the only color that was left in the 39 and I am SO glad I did. They fit like a glove and it's a beautiful red color at that. Overall, it's a fantastic deal for 1/2 the regular price and I am ecstatic, other than the misrepresented green color, you guys should really change that.

In theory these boots are perfect;however, BELIEVE the other reviews that state these are too narrow and a size smaller than they are supposed to be. These boots are beautiful and they are well made, but they run too small and WAY too narrow. Utter disappointment with these as I really love this brand and the boots look AMAZING, but they really need to step up the sizing on these so that people can enjoy them.
