Kenzi Boot Review

jrhampt · Kenneth Cole

Good, good. I have a pair of Kenzie boots headed my way, too -- not these boots, but the "Hippo" style in black. They look like they have a similar wedge heel. I was debating whether or not to get the ones you got, too. Are you wearing them with skirts, or just pants? The main reason I haven't gotten them yet is that I'm not sure what I would wear them with.

I wore them with pants today, and was wondering how they would look with skirts and/or dresses. I don't know if I'm bold enough for that.

Man I'm in love with these. Thanks for the review.

One more question on these before I order them, nunzi, did you get your normal size? I generally size up 1/2 size in boots but didn't know if that was necessary - I am tempted to go try them on IRL but I really don't know where - Nordies doesn't have them on their website.

laken, i didn't get try them on, but i saw them at macy's. i want them now too.

nunzi, do you think they are sightseeing in nyc comfy or just everyday comfy?

I was wondering the same thing, Mandy. I have black sensible shoes for NYC but not brown...I was just hoping but not believing they would be THAT comfy - but I'm curious as to what she says.....

I bought these last year and bought my normal size, but 1/2 size up might feel a little better. They weren't that comfy to me, but it may just be because I'm not used to taller heels.

I have now tried these on twice, once without thick socks and once with them. I think I would size up 1/2 size. I also don't find them too terribly comfortable after the second try. Then again, I own a couple of pairs of Kenzie wedges and I don't think they are all that comfy. They're okay if you aren't walking far, but I wouldn't want to go sightseeing in them. I also should mention that I have a bad ankle, I do a lot of city walking, and I don't really find any heels or wedges, except maybe my Reaction boots, very comfy. But I am probably buying these anyway!

I ordered my regular size, which is a 7 1/2 and I thought they fit perfectly. I wouldn't have wanted them any bigger. I really am not a person that can walk well in high shoes, but for some reason, I can walk well in wedges. They're super comfortable to me and I try to shy away from high heels. I found them easy to walk in and didn't feel the need to take them off after 9+ hours of wearing them. I guess it just depends on the person wearing them, but I love them and found them really comfy.
