I have been wanting these boots for over a year. They look good with literally any outfit. The quality is amazing. The color of the leather is beautiful. Would 100% buy again

These are now my fourth pair of shoes from Sutro Footwear. They produce an amazing product in classic styles that look amazing all year round, and the quality is consistent with every pair. I truly love the work that they do and highly recommend you get yourself a pair.

I spent way too much time looking through many, many websites before deciding to buy a pair of boots from Sutro. Turns out, it was a good thing I took so long to make a decision because these boots are perfect. They are beautiful boots and immediately comfortable. The honey color is striking and will, no doubt, look better and better as it ages with wear. The handcrafted skill is apparent and wonderful. I'm so pleased with these boots, I plan on buying a black pair.

What a beautiful pair of boots! At first I wasn’t going to give it 5 stars because they were hard to break in ad they gave me a blister but my mistake was tying them too tight. These boots are not meant to be tied too tightly. Tie them loose for a loose and comfortable fit. The leather stretched just nicely and soft after a few days and now I can’t take them off! They were definitely worth the wait!

I was so excited when my new shoes arrived. I did the preorder and these are well worth the wait! I put them on right away and have worn them every day since! The leather is so buttery and smooth.. immediately comfortable; even without socks!! I love the color and the fit! I am receiving compliments. This is my 4th pair of Sutro shoes and I intend to keep coming back !!

I went half size down from my normal shoe size and it was a perfect fit. Quite snug at first but no blisters or anything of the sort. Leather looks old pretty fast, but if you're going for kind of a rugged, worn look for your boots, this is a really good pair. Overall pretty good for the price.

The boots look just like I excepted them to, and they’re fairly comfortable right out of the box. I normally wear an 8, but got an 8.5 because I like to wear heavier socks with boots. However, they’re pretty snug. I’ve only worn them twice so far, and I know leather stretches, but right now I can only fit a thin sock with them. So I’d recommend sizing up at least the half size, if not a full size. The quality seems good and the soles aren’t slippery. Shipping was pretty quick too. All in all, I’...

Just got my Sutro Lee Chukka and just love it. Best part? They fit like a pair of sneakers. The leather feels soft and very nice and comfortable. Overall a very well-made high quality pair of boots at a very fair price. Much more comfortable and better looking than another pair of chukka boots that I have that costs me almost 3 times more. Sutro boots are now my top brand and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, great-looking, comfortable chukka boots at a very decen...

Hey there. Finally I got my Sutro boots. I just love them. I still have to break them in. But so far very satisfied. The quality and the good smell of the leather are lovely. Can't wait how they feel once they're broken in.

Really beautifully made shoes. The Battery chelsea boots blend western style with city chic, I love the mid-rise block heel and pointed toe. I've had a couple of Sutros now, and have had mixed experiences with sizing. I'm a true size 7.5 women's with a slightly wider than normal toe box and narrow heel. Owning the Mendelle lace-up boot in a 7.5, I find that I wished to have sized down to a 7, so I took a risk with the Battery and ordered a 7. Unfortunately for me, the Battery runs truer to size,...

Shoes fit great and look amazing. I’m a leather worker and can tell very good quality leather was used making this boot. Will certainly be buying another style in the near future!

I've wanted a pair of Sutros since I got Instagram at 17 and followed you guys. I finally have a full time career and could afford a pair. I'm so impressed with their comfort, durability and fit and can't wait to see what they look like as they age! I'm so excited to be wearing them around. Thank you!

Beautifully constructed shoes. They have the warm, rich, punchy scent of a tack shop out of the box that screams “good leather” to me. I misread the sizing suggestion and bought a half size up instead of down and i’m glad I did. There is a lot of room in the toe, but I think that anything smaller would be too snug around my wide feet, be warned my fellow paddle paws. The first day I wore them I was moving some furniture around and tipped a heavy table onto my foot, but it didn’t even leave a...

Zoe H.
These are BEAUTIFUL boots! I am an 8W in most boots, and the fit guide recommended I order an 8.5 in these to accommodate for my larger width. The sizing is good--definitely a little snug in the toe box (even more snug than the Polk, which surprised me!), but I can tell that these will stretch over time, like my other Sutros have! I ordered the factory seconds and they are in perfect condition--I can't see anything wrong with them. Love them and so excited to wear them once the weather improves ...

Absolutely LOVE these! My first Sutro purchase but definitely won’t be my last. Superior quality and the honey color is beautiful. The only issue I had with was sizing. I normally wear a 9.5 but sized up to accommodate socks and the narrow toe box.

These boots are the cat's pajamas. I've been looking for a pair of boots that are great quality, comfortable, and beautiful to look at and I'm so happy that these worked out! They were recommended to me when I asked for advice on beautiful lace up boots for someone with weak joints due to chronic illness and a former ankle injury, and I am happy to say my pain is rarely an issue when walking around the city. This has been my first expensive shoe purchase and I can confidently say it was worth ev...

These are my second pair, and though this pair was not as immediately comfortable, nor the leather as soft, as my previous pair, these are fantastic boots. I look forward to breaking them in and wearing them for years.

My expectations were beyond exceeded with these boots. My Alder Vibram's felt broken in and velvet smooth on my first wear. Doesn't hurt that they look beautiful dressed up or down. For this boot quality I'd expect to pay far more. I'll be going back for the Alder II, just haven't decided which color!

The perfect warm brown shoe—I love men’s wear with a Jean or skinny pant or even leggings. Excellent quality—love San Francisco-made boutique shoes! The shoes already feel broken in. I lived on Mount Sutro, so I appreciate the shoes as they remind me of my former home’s namesake. Thank you Sutro!

These boots are so stunning! I can't tell you how long I looked for a Goodyear welted chelsea boot for women that also fit my style - these are it! The quality is amazing and they're comfortable right out of the box. I wore these for 6 hours straight on my feet and running around, and didn't get a single blister or any rubbing at all. I went with my usual size (6.5) and I'm glad I did. There is a bit of room, but I like having that for thicker socks in colder months. Sutro really knocked it out ...

These boots are beautifully handcrafted. The leather is strong, but not too stiff. They're the kind of shoes you have forever, which is exactly what I'm always looking for. I have very narrow/flat feet and am a true 9.5. I bought the 9.5 and they fit great with a bit of room in the pointy toe. I could wear a slight insert to make them more snug in the width, or thicker socks. Craftsmanship is unrivaled & the finish is well-executed, solid work!

I've been looking for high-quality boots for a long time, and I think I finally found my perfect pair! The honey color is really beautiful. It was difficult to get them on and off the first time, but they loosened up quickly and now fit really well. Already bought another pair in grey!

I was worried about ordering factory seconds boots without trying them on, or seeing them! There are no noticeable flaws, they fit perfect and are so beautifully made! I will be buying myself more!!

Beautiful boots that feel substantial and are of great quality. They fit true to size. I had mine widened a bit because I have a wide foot, and now they fit perfectly.

For being a seconds the boots came in practically perfect condition! This was my first order and I absolutely adore them :) They work with a lot of outfits and I get plenty of compliments. Happy to support a small business as well!

I found my first pair of Sutros at a second-hand shop while traveling. I needed sturdy walking shoes to get by until I could shop for something better... Four years later I'm still wearing them! Best shoes I've ever owned and only now have I bought two new pairs, opting for the Alder II boot and Ralson oxfords. These are top quality, hand-made shoes that are durable and great looking. I typically wear size 10 and ordered a half size larger (as per those originals I found) and they fit perfect....

Buttery soft, no break in. I should have ordered a half-size down. No pull loop on the back makes these frustrating to get on but they're so good it's worth it. Best boots I've bought in years. Vibram sole is perfect (and perfectly grippy) in rain and snow.

I ordered the gray Alder II boot. I wasn't exactly certain of how it would look in person but I am impressed. In my opinion, it is a beautiful, well made, well fitting boot. The leather is soft and very comfortable. I am very pleased with my purchase.

This is my second pair Sutro boots. My first pair was Alder Vibram, fell in love with them once I broke them in. Ordered Sutro II after spending one week with Alder Vibram. And just last week I ordered another pair of Alder Vibram in Black. That's how obsessed I am with Sutro boots!

Don’t mind the dust! These boots are AMAZING! I wore them to a 12 hour shift filming a tv show in a warehouse - on my feet ALL day - and have no complaints. They are comfy and cute.

These boots are nice! I was skeptical about the size as I usually wear a size 10 in boots. They recommended going a half size down and they were right. The 9.5 feels good with their insoles, but I always remove them in shoes I buy and put my own in. They are a little tight with the ones I have but I figured that. Plus the boots will stretch a little anyways over time. Great purchase so far after a few uses.

These are my fifth pair of Sutros, so I think it's safe to say, I love them. They are timeless, comfortable, and will last you years. This pair in honey are casual but can definitely be dressed up for a night out.

I love these boots so much I ordered another pair in a different color. Comfortable out of the box even though I'm normally an E or even EE in other brands, I have zero problems with the width of these boots. I got a compliment on the first day I wore them. Great company, great customer service. I will buy from them again.

Greg G.
This is actually my fourth pair of Sutro boots. Although these Arthurs were listed as a "Final Sale" item on the Sutro website, they definitely aren't factory seconds. I can't find anything wrong with the materials or construction. Sizing on most Sutro styles is true-to-size, but the Arthur needs to be sized down as it runs a bit large. The Sutro website offers conflicting guidance, saying both "runs a half size big" and "we recommend ordering a whole size smaller for Arthur". I ended up order...

Love the look of these, they look just ever so slightly worn in. Also, for those of you who dislike rounded toe boots like me and were unsure if the almond toe on these was “almond-y” enough, it definitely is! Gives a nice elongated look to the leg. Love them!

Best pair of boots I’ve ever owned! I literally wear these boots every day for work or just casual occasions. Took some breaking in but after a few days they fit like a glove. 5 stars!
