SodaWomen's Malia Faux Lace Up Chunky Lug Sole Combat Boot

These are absolutely amazing. Like seriously, these are badass!I do not ever wear any sort of incline, only flat slides and tennis shoes, so the incline is a little steep for me, but other than that, they are pretty comfortable and pretty easy to walk in. I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying my almost 3 year old around, or unload groceries, or anything like that though, not yet at least.Very versatile as far as what they go with too. My go to is leggings and crop/tube tops, and they look so bad badass together. Truly awesome boots!The outer zipper seems to be faux, I can't unzip either shoe, but i also don't need to. (The inner zipper works just fine.) It looks great and THAT's why it's there. They are a little stiff, but they are new and seem to be easy to break in. They fit snug but comfy around my ankle and leg which I love - I usually have problems with things being too loose. The toe area is perfect. My toes have plenty of wiggle room and don't feel cramped - at all. Also, my feet don't slide to the end and crush my toes, I've NEVER experienced this before, i ALWAYS slide forward. I attribute it to the good, snug fit in the ankle and back of the foot.I've worn them around the house about an hour now and my feet are a little tired and sore, but that's to be expected with any heel/platform, especially when not use to it.Also, I got my pair out of the warehouse for a REALLY good price, and that just makes me love them that much more, and make them that much more worth it to me. I was actually suppose to send these back, but i just can't. After putting them on, I. Must. Have/Keep. These. 💖Right out the box, first impressions of these shoes are fantastic. We will see how it goes though over time.

This is my second pair of these boots--I bought the first pair back in 2019, and wore them so much that a new pair was in order (they did hold up very well, but after four years they were a little beat up-looking). These boots are super-comfortable, fit nicely, and provide enough support that I can wear them all day without my feet getting tired. The heel is a great height, and they look fantastic with jeans and even with skirts/dresses.

I love these. They are cute/stylish and very comfortable.

I bought this pair of boots because of a mixup with another order of a pair of boots... But my story has a happy ending! I originally ordered the SODA Balboa but got the Malia style instead. After debating on keeping or returning them, I tried them on and eventually took a gamble on keeping them.Let me say, I was pleasantly surprised! The boots are easy to put on and take off (I love the look of laces but always, ALWAYS look for a zipper closure on my shoes). Also, they work well with an insole insert for added comfort with a small exception. That is, they are a *little* tight across the vamp with the insole, especially after wearing them 10-12 hours during the work day.Ratings are as follows:Style: 5 out of 5Design: 5 out of 5Fit: 4 out of 5Durability: 5 out of 5 - scuffs and dust/dirt are easily wiped; back of the heel is not easily damaged from driving or walkingComfort: less than 6 hours of wear: 4.5 out of 5; 6+ hours of wear: 3.5* out of 5 (*especially with an insole >tightens the vamp)Note: loosening the laces did not help with the slight increase in tightness of the vamp with an insole (your foot just ends up looking unattractive and wide). I think these boots are pretty comfortable without an insole however for long periods of wear in which you're on your feet, the insole is 100% a necessity for me. I expected the slight increase the tightness overall with an insole. For the record, I wore these with just a regular pair of boot socks. They would not work with an insole if wearing super thick boot socks. I haven't tried them with tights but expect they would be even more comfortable with the insole without feeling quite as tight.Overall, I rate the boots a 4 out of 5 stars. These were a bit higher price point but worth it because they are quite comfortable overall. I plan to wear them year round and really get my money's worth! If you're looking for a sturdy but stylish pair of boots, don't pass the Malia up. I found that although the heel is chunkier than what I wanted, they're tall enough to elongate the legs in a flattering way; they have great ankle support and they are a cinch to walk in. I think they're a great mix of form, function and fashion! Even though I didn't get the shoe I wanted at first, that mix-up turned out to be a worthwhile purchase that led me to get this pair. I now have 2 great pairs of boots in my collection and I'm happy with my purchases overall.

I live the fit and the style . They definetly keep me warm . These boots are perfect for winter .

These are inexpensive but so adorable and amazingly comfortable!!!!

The heel is around 4 inches. They are made veTy well I can’t believe they’re under 30$

I love this boot style!! So, I ordered this shoe... 6.5 + another color (same style and size) from another vendor. This shoe not true to the size/measurements listed - I have narrow feet.These fit like a 5.5-6......

Muy cómodas y con buen diseño, me han durado mucho

Me encantaron!! Están padrísimas , súper recomendables , supero mis espectativas , no pensé que fueran a verse tan bien y el material súper hermoso y además comodisimasVale la pena compararlas

Bought these for a change from my regular flat boots, wasn’t sure because I have pretty flat feet but these feel great! Very good quality.

La calidad y el precio son increíbles

Les daría 4.5 estrellas solo porque tiene una parte donde el centro de la planta del pie no se sostiene sobre nada, en otro comentario mencionan que tiene una curva no natural y sí es correcto. Creo que con una plantilla puede solucionarse.Aún así, en general están muy cómodas. Hice prueba corriendo con ellas y no se batalla.El material se ve muy bonito y resistente. Fiel a la talla.
