Absolute Win!

These Tavistock Button Boots were perfect. They were comfortable, fit very well, easy to button and unbutton, sturdy and look timeless and classy.
The leather soles are also a nice touch and very authentic.
A great example of the quality is worth the money.

Updated Review - beautiful, but scary

I previously wrote a review complaining that the shoes I ordered did not fit even remotely, despite being on the larger end of the sizes I normally buy. After some deliberation I finally decided to try a full size larger. And... they are great!! super comfortable and look amazing. And thankfully, I didn't have to move the buttons. But my word of caution on these boots is you may have to try multiple sizes before you get one that works, so be extra prepared to go through the returns process, maybe more than once. And if you wind up having to move the buttons, god help you, because I certainly can't.

(And seriously... don't forget your button hook. You can get out of them without one, but getting in? don't even try it.)

Absolutely Adorable

I eyed these boots for ages before I finally took the plunge. I’m so glad I did! They’re elegant and comfortable enough to wear for a full day of walking. I’ve worn these with skirts and dresses to great effect, but they look INCREDIBLE with my black skinny jeans. Now I can rock my punk jacket on top and some rad “granny boots” on the bottom. Just as a note, I did find that I needed the button hook to put these on. While it’s possible to do the buttons yourself, it takes significantly longer than just using the hook (over five minutes + at least one curse word without the hook vs. one curse-free minute with the button hook). You will also need to give the boots time to break in. They pinched my toes when I first got them, but I’ve found that the leather has relaxed over time and become extremely comfortable. The toe is narrow, though, so I stick to thin socks or tights. Overall, I’m very happy with these and have received numerous compliments on them!

AMAZING QUALITY

These boots made me so happy as soon as I tried them on. Website advice on choosing the right fit is spot-on. I have wide 6.5 feet so purchased a pair in 7 and I could walk around all day in them! Beautifully made with attention to detail - they even include extra buttons and an extra pair of heel taps. Lovely! Well worth the price! If you don't already have a button hook, be sure to include one in your order as it will make fastening them much easier.
