Disappointed with the cut of this boot. The shaft is awkwardly seamed halfway up the boot in the size 6. Inside does not leave enough leather to be folded over if that's what you wanted to do. Was excited to get this otherwise beautiful boot; now it's just gathering dust.

These are very similar, if not identical, to my Chinese Laundry "Strate" style suede boot that came out last year, the one Serena wore in grey on gossip girl. I got these in black leather. For the price, they don't look that cheap. I usually wear a 7 (and am a 7 in Fryes) but have the Strate in a 6.5, so got a 6.5 in this style. They fit, but could use a little stretching. I haven't worn these out yet, so not sure if the ankle will bunch down and get all wrinkly. I'd prefer if they stood up straight, but as others have noted, the leather is kinda thin and there isn't much stiffness/support in the ankle. Hence, I wouldn't be surprised if these bunched. You can also fold these down so the top is horizontal (vs. diagonal). All in all, decent for price. Thanks Zappos for super quick shipping!

Look:These boots are great. Very comfortable, true to size, fits my calf, etc. I was hesitant to buy shoes on the internet without trying them on first, but I was pleasantly surprised. My only complaint is that the suede is not the best quality, but fine for the price.

Look:I got these boots in black suede after seeing them on lots of celebrities. They are great! I don't know about the leather, but the suede looks much more expensive than what they cost. The inside is a cheap material, but nobody can see that! They are pretty comfortable although I haven't worn them all day yet. They aren't the warmest boots, but that's not really why I bought them. These are a great way to get into the over-the-knee boot trend without spending hundreds of dollars. Highly recommend!

Look:Super fast shipping. Received shoes the next day. I bought these in gray in a size 8. The size is true to fit. The calves fit me which is rare because I have muscular ones. They were comfy enough to wear them all night dancing straight out of the box. My feet hurt a little bit, not too much. I don't know if these would fit if you wear thick socks, then they'd be a bit snug. Overall, an affordable, sexy boot. Lots of comps!

Look:I ordered these boots not expecting a lot, and I was right. I am 5' 8" and these "over the knee" boots barely came up to the bottom of my knee! Very unflattering, not supple and very stumpy looking. I would not recommend this product.

Look:I waited to get these boots for so long and then when I finally bought them and anxiously waited to recieve these boots, they are what I expected, sorta. They are not high priced looking boots, but still look really nice, and when I put them on, although the staying up above the knee isn\'t the problem, the shoes being tight in the toe area is.I\'m normally a size 7 but sadly these boots are snug on one foot and I\'m going to return em for a half size up with hopes they will fit nice, but I\'m skeptical because I don\'t want to get boots that are going to look HUGE so I\'m hoping that the next pair are better.

if you have skinny calves don't bother - These boots are really cute. unfortunatly im a size 9 and 120 pounds and they are waaaaaaaaaaay too big for my calves. my calves aren't craaazy sick skinny or ne thing, but they are smaller and i basically look like a homeless pirate when I wear them. Regardless...I wore them all last winter...layering and folding two pairs of thigh high socks to keep them up. I really want to have them taken in cuz they look really cool but it's hard to find a place that will do it since they don't have a zipper. They are nice though, although the don't have much support. They aren't uncormfortable...but your feet definitely don't feel fantastic after standing all day. btw i bought the black suede and while one boot stays up the other is terribly loose and falls. But if you have normal sized calves you would probably love these boots I bet they'd be great.

Look:I recently purchased the Chinese Laundry Turbo boot. I selected this because of the other reviews and I had never purchased boots online before. I wanted a pair of nice boots but really did not want to spend $300. I was looking for a pair of OTK boots that could be folded down, but also wanted them to be a long lasting boot purchase. These were inexpensive and looked it. They are not very comfortable and the inner arch falls in over the sole of the outside of the boot. The soles are very narrow. They are somewhat attractive if what you want is just a season boot and plan on replacing them next year. I do not see this being a long term purchase as they do not seem to be really high quality. I assume for the average buyer that wants the look and wants to be budget minded, these would be a great choice. They are OTK and can be folded, and seem to fit your true size for closed toe shoes, the toe area of the shoe is snug if you have toe issues, also they are somewhat of a hassle to get over your heel as they are pull ons. I am returning mine and purchasing a different pair.

Look:I love these boots. First let me start off by saying this was the first time I have used Zappos and had a really good experience. I got the boots like 2 days after I had ordered them. They were true to size and arrived in good shape. They are over the knee and actually stay up. I have some over the knee boots that start to slouch down after you walk around a little bit. They are also priced very well compared to other similar boots I have seen. I actually went on the Chinese Laundry website and they sell this boot for more then Zappos.com does.

Look:I love this boot. So comfy and stylish. I just got them a few days ago and they just look great with leggings and skinny jeans. The leather is a little cheaper, but honestly the price is right. Over the knee boots are the look for this winter. this is a must have item. Fast shipping Zappos! Thanks.

Look:I am so happy I found affordable over the knee flat boots. I live in Chicago where the winters are crazy, and although I do love higher priced items, sometimes it’s not realistic to own boots that won’t hold up to the snow and cold. I wore them after a night of dancing, and never complained once of pain and pinched toes! I even got stepped on a couple of times, which would have made me flinch if they did cost $$$. I will definitely suggest these boots to anyone that wants a trendy look without breaking the bank!

Look:I got this boot in the black leather and I am absolutely in love with it! It comes over my knee by about an inch or so but I'm 5'8" or 5'9" so it'll probably be taller and look even better the shorter you are. I have quite big calves and these fit with room to spare! I can wear my skinny jeans with them and not have unsightly bulges around the ankles. The leather is kind of thin, but I don't really mind it considering the only other pair of over the knee boots that fit me are $400+. I'd say they run a bit large as I am definitely a 10 1/2 in any shoe I buy, but the 10s fit perfectly with enough space for thick socks. This small wedge heel is perfect for walking around the city because when shoes are too flat they don't have enough support. Overall, I am super pleased with this boot. It's definitely a must have for any woman's closet. Actually my only caveat with them is that there are too many seams. I wish they only had a seam up the back, then they would look even more expensive.

Look:Really cute over the knee boot. I was shopping for an over the knee boot for the season, but I didn't want to break the bank! Most of the really cute styles out there are $300 and up. I was originally drawn to Chinese Laundry's Tripin Style, but I had difficulty with them staying up. I want a true over the knee boot that I don't have to keep readjusting. The Turbo has thicker suede, so there is more structure to the boot. It does tend to fall a bit, but not as badly. I wouldn't say the suede is high quality by any means, but really, you can't tell. And for a trendy shoe of the season, you can't go wrong for the price. They fit true to size and are pretty comfortable. I highly recommend.

Look:LOVE the boots! I've been searching for over the knee flat boots, since they are the trend of the fall, but most are way too expensive. The boots look great and expensive! The best part is if you want them to be below the knee, you can scrunch them down. Very comfortable to wear all day long.

Look:Ladies, I love this boots! I actually purchased the black leather pair last year and was truly happy to find the grey color. A huge problem for me is that I have big calves and it's hard to get boots as far as my knees. These boots are super comfortable and they are made to stretch to the width of your legs, they look so cute with skinny jeans or a really cute dress/skirt. This is a great buy and the price is right!

Super Cute!!! I just received my turbo boots in grey smoked leather and they are so cute. I was looking for a pair of casual boots that I could wear over the knee or slouch down and these are perfect. They are not tight at all which I like. They look vintage. The "leather" is okay quality. It's not like you're going to be wearing these boots and someone is going to say "Oh cute boots, now can I inspect the quality of "leather"." They are exactly what I was looking for casual and super cute!!

I love these boots! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing them so I was a little hesitant about the fit, but they are fantastic. They can be both slouchy and stream-lined depending on the style I'm going for. They fit pretty true to size - maybe a tad bit too baggy, if anything. And Zappos' shipping is amazing. Got them the day after I ordered them.
