Rosa Zipper Boots - By Anya

I ordered these at the same time as the Lila boot, hoping to keep the correct size in both styles. Unfortunately the ankle space is too tight in these Rosa boots so I was unable to keep. They may have possibly worked with some stretching of the leather, but the fact that I did not yet have thick high winter socks on made me feel they were not worth keeping.
Besides this, they were well made, but sadly, not for me.

I should have known better. These are very, very cute fashion boots but if you live anywhere near snow, do not wear them without treating them first. These aren't meant to be functional in winter weather.

I did not read the fine print and assumed expensive = high quality, *treated* leather. Let my mistake help you decide.

Will support my local leather repair shop but this whole expereince has really turned me off to Anya's. I will be sticking with Vivo's from now on, sadly.

THESE ARE THE ONES! I literally said to my husband, "These are the ones! The boots I've been looking for for over 10 years!"

I have large feet and finding stylish barefoot shoes is next to impossible. I wear my soft star shearling boots all winter because I just don't have nice boots. But sometimes I want to look a bit more stylish. So THANK YOU ANYA!!!

These are so perfect it is hard to describe but I'll try: they're not HUGE with a gaping ankle; instead, they fit close to the ankle for a sleek and refined look (see photo). The rounded toe box is perfectly wide so that it doesn't look like a weird shape but still gives room for the toes to splay inside (see other photo). The leather is top notch and feels like it will soften up perfectly to make these boots fit like a glove after I break them in. There is significant "ground feel" in these as the soles are not super thick like other boots (see last photo). So happy with these and worth every penny!

One thing to note: in larger sizes the zipper is at a slight diagonal, not placed quite as vertically on the boot as the model pictures show on the site. This is likely due to the length of the boot requiring this in larger sizes and I think it still looks pretty.

And don't forget to size up a bit for the perfect size! I missed the note on the site to add a few mm to my measured foot length and originally ordered my normal size 42. They were tight and THEN I saw the site says to add 10-15mm to your foot length to get the right size. I only went about 7mm over my foot length to size up 1 rather than 2 sizes, and they are perfect. (I normally wear a 42 and these are a 43.)

I can't wait to buy more shoes from Anya's Shop in the future. I'm already eyeing my next pair! :)

I purchased two pairs of these boots about 4 years ago, the brown and grey. I wear them both mainly to work in an office environment. I find that they work really well with casual/ smart office wear, dresses, skirts, slacks etc.. I find them to be incredibly comfortable and fit true to size for me, I rarely take anything other than a 37. After four years the brown pair still looks really good, has some creasing from wear but that is normal, the soles are still perfect. The grey suede pair have also held up, but it is harder to keep suede looking good. I have probably worn this pair a bit more and so the edge of one of the soles is starting to peel away, but I would expect that after regular wear for over four years. Overall I am very pleased with these shoes, and will probably order another suede pair soon as they are my favorite barefoot dress shoes, in comfort and looks!

I bought these boots because I felt they’d fill a hole in my wardrobe. I needed nice-looking & quiet, somewhat dressy boots to wear at work with skirts & tights. They definitely work in that way, but to my surprise they are also some of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned, and the materials & detailing are solid in quality. As an extra perk, the swinging tassels are fun to wear & show spirit. I’m super pleased with these!
