Hush Puppies Vivianna Women's Boots

Originally purchased these to go with a steampunk costume - After spending much time searching for an ideal Victorian laceup style boot with a lowish (but not flat) comfortable heel, and with suitable steampunk look, I was getting frustrated with just finding either cheap imported synthetic material boots, extortionate prices for specialist made footwear, too bulky, too low or too high a heel, and hardly ever in my small size 3...then a friend pointed me in the direction of this Hush Puppies Vivianna boot....and it was love at first sight! The shape and design fitted all my 'wants' and to find they were leather and for a price well below what I was expecting to have to pay....they fitted the bill perfectly. I read up on other customer comments, satisfied by how comfortable they found them to wear...but have to admit the suggestions that the ankle is perhaps a little wide (I have narrow feet and skinny ankles) worried me a bit. However, saying that, I also intended wearing them with spats that would cover that area so seemed not too much of an issue....being leather, and comfortable (the important bit to me), and fulfilling all my design criteria overrode any concerns and I knew I just had to buy them. When I received them I have to say I was delighted! The tan colour was an almost exact match to the leather straps etc on my costume and they are perhaps slightly more 'antiqued' than the photo shows...which again is perfect for the steampunk look. They fit well, really are uber comfortable and make my little feet look super cute and dainty. Yes, they do gape at the ankle and some people will find this an issue...but in my case, it wasn't a problem. The elastic laces are annoying ( I also think they cheapen the look of the boot) so I've replaced them with proper brown material ones which actually make the boot feel more secure across the front of the foot....and I have managed to pull them a little tighter. The leather 'tongue' is stitched in place but I have managed to crease and soften the leather enough so that there is more 'give' to enable the laces to tighten a bit more...good for me with narrow feet but I guess majority of people wont need to do this....and since there are the additional zips at the sides, once the laces are done up, they can be left untouched. Worn with spats and additional clip on steampunk cogs and embellishments to the fronts they completed my costume wonderfully and drew many admiring glances, comments and queries as to where I got them. The story however doesn't end with them being just an one off costume item - they are so comfortable I am now wearing them most days (minus the costume embellishments)! I'm not one for wearing heels (I have back and hip pain problems) but these are a perfect height for me when I want to dress up a bit more and I've managed to stay on my feet wearing these without issues for far longer than I do in my other footwear....this is probably down to the claimed shock absorbing heel pad, flexible insole cushioning and ultra-flexible tread design with flexible rubber outsole featuring incline technology. The sole is nice and grippy and I feel safe walking in them. Teamed with jeans and trousers they look fantastic and have even got the approval off my fashionista friends who know their footwear! I mean, remember, these are made for everyday use...they are not 'costume' boots...that just happened to be what I'd originally purchased them for...these are damn good leather boots intended for more use, made by a quality trusted company and they won me over and enchanted me and have become a favourite of my footwear collection and really earning their keep. They are certainly worth the money and with proper looking after will last me a long time.

After having my eye on these boots for quite some time, I finally went ahead and purchased them a couple of days ago, as they were great value compared to other sites I had seen them on! I bought them in tan and they arrived earlier today via one-day delivery- and they don't disappoint! They are very well-made, with lovely soft leather; and I love the colour too- they are a lovely burnished leather with such a good shine to them. To look at, they are gorgeous. I have quite wide UK size 7 feet, but my shoe size can vary between a size 6 and an 8, depending on the shoe. I worried a bit that the boots weren't going to fit around my wide toes and high instep, especially after other reviews from customers whose boots didn't quite fit despite their feet usually fitting a certain size. Luckily for me, they do, and they are incredibly comfortable to walk in; yes, the heel is a little bigger than I expected, but don't be put off by it, as the padding inside and the overall design of the shoes make the heel size pretty insignificant. I also think the leather will stretch slightly as I break them in and make them even more comfortable. I quite happily wandered around my house in them for a little while after trying them on! Therefore, I would recommend these boots to anyone wanting a well-made, very comfortable pair of smart-looking ankle boots. I think they will suit anyone, regardless of height, shape or age- I'm 21 but having read lots of other reviews, ladies of varying ages have purchased and loved these shoes! I shall invest in a good leather protector to keep them nice over the coming winter months, and am seriously considering requesting another pair in another colour (probably green!) for Christmas!

Perfect for my Mrs. Claus role each Christmas. I have painful feet but these allow me to look the part when standing for a long time. Side zips are great. Love them.

I have been looking for some comfortable low heeled boot type shoes for some time. These attracted me because they have a bit more style than usual. Having size 8 shoes, requiring a wide fitting, means that plain styles can look a bit too masculine, and I wanted to get something a bit different to wear out with friends, not just out shopping. Previous reviews stated they were comfortable, this attracted me and is absolutely true for me too. These are easy to put on and off without pressure across the toe joints. I would have given 5 stars, but was just a little disappointed about the height of the heel, which is a little higher than it appeared to me in the picture. If you normally wear high heels I am sure this would not be a problem. I have been wearing lower heels for about 3 years, but, as I have persevered wearing these over the last 2 weeks I am now comfortable walking over a mile in them. They appear to be well made and I suspect will wear well for a long time.

I was afraid these would be too big because I normally have size 5 1/2 and these are size 6, but they fit well, just a little room at the toes. I was able to tighten the laces. They are quite a wide fit, ideal for me but probably not if you have narrow feet and ankles. I love the colour red, they look great under jeans or a dress. They are very comfortable, as you would expect from Hush Puppies. The heel is just the right height to be elegant but doesn’t tire me out walking on them. They look well made but since I’ve only had them one day, I can’t judge them for durability. Lovely boots/shoes, happy with them

Absolutely love the colour they are also so comfortable! Great value for the money and can be worn with anything as very stylish. Would love them to be In mustard , bottle green or navy colour . Would definitely recommend and would buy again they are beautiful in my opinion.

Bonne qualité, tres confortables et élégantes. Je recommande Ma Pointure: 39-40 Ces bottines j’ai commandé - 41 Et je suis très bien dedans ! Très satisfaite

Love these boots! So comfortable and stylish. Just what I needed! Great quality and they shipped quickly!

I’ve finally had the opportunity to wear these new size 7 boots and found them amazingly comfortable! The only problem I had with them is the elasticized laces. They’re quite long and tend to flip around in front of my footsteps if I walk quickly (and I normally walk quickly). I think I need to find a way to do them up that takes up more of the length of the laces. Once I slowed myself down, they were just fine. I will also be adding some gel insoles as I found them just a little too big in the foot but not so much that I would change the size I ordered. The boot itself is made with excellent quality and omg… they’re so cute!!!

Der Schuh passt perfekt und trotzdem ich sonst gar keine Schuhe mit Absatz trage ist er total bequem ,bin so froh da es in meiner Größe immer schwer ist etwas zu finden.

Gli stivaletto sono cuciti molto bene, la pelle é morbida e sono pure antiscivolo, oltre ad essere eleganti e belli. La calzata che ho preso corrispondeva al mio numero. Non conoscevo questa marca ma mi sono trovata benissimo, grazie!
