MBT Goti Casual Mid Boots - 12”, Leather (For Women)

These boots are fantastic with one caveat - the size is very difficult to figure out. I went by a previous reviewer who wrote that they take a 6.5 and ordered a full size larger, which fit them well. I tried the same thing, only to find that I was swimming in the 7.5. So, I went down to the 6.5 to discover that they are indeed too small. Now, I'm going to try the 7 in hopes that third time will be the charm. I really hope so because these boots look great, and I'm a true MBT convert. I love their shoes and have three other pairs already. I just wish MBT would standardize their sizes.

These boots were rather unattractive on, and the fit was peculiar. They were loose in the ankles and very tight in the calves. Maybe if you have thick ankles and thin calves they'd be better. The stitching is high-contrast and looks better in pictures than in real life. Not working for me, unfortunately.

I THINK THEY ARE TRUE TO SIZE

I had to size up a full size over my normal mbt to fit calves. I wear shortie socks plus thin long pair to fill footbed. Once I did this I wore them at home for a couple of hours twice-this process enabled the soft leather to stretch. My first outing was to a wedding with a leather jacket and fancy blouse and skirt. It worked well. My neck is fused four levels and all other shoes put me at risk of jarring my neck with missteps. An added benefit to the core strengthening of mbt products is that I have never jarred my neck with any missteps while wearing my mbts. I thought I'd try the cheaper sketcher version of the rocker sole to save money... I jammed my neck three times in one week. I gave the sketcher shapeups to my daughter. So I am a slave, as well as a devoted fan, to my mbts. That a cute boot finally came out has been really fun. I am constantly checking for new styles. I like the new strappier designs, but I am petite and am missing the taller profile from the original styling. Another mbt bonus: The constant balancing has strengthened my ankles and I no longer roll my ankles a few times a month...now, only once or twice a year.

Loved the styling of this boot and the footbed was super-duper comfy. Unfortunately, I was not able to zip it over my calves. I have fairly muscular calves, but not huge so you would need pretty skinny calves for this boot to work. Too bad.
