DREAM PAIRSwomens Drivers

At first I was simply looking for boots with a built-in pocket since I hate carrying purses (especially for concerts, day-trips, etc), and as a delightful surprise I found my favorite shoes for all occasions. I honestly prefer to wear boots nearly every day now and love how these instantly make any outfit look more polished.STORAGE - Obviously don't expect to put too much in each pocket as it's not meant to hold a lot nor would you want an unsightly bulge or creases in the material anyway. It is, however, perfect for a few essentials. I keep my ID, credit card, and cash on one and a tiny phone charger cable in the other. Inside the shoe itself I sometimes tuck in a small portable battery against my calf. In public bathrooms, I love being able to temporarily hold my phone in the boot rather than using a random gross ledge on those days bringing a bag is impractical. You may not have this extra room if you have wider calves though.FIT - My first couple of pairs did not fit so I had to exchange them, but once I got a better size it was worth the hassle. For reference, I wear shoes anywhere between a 7 and 8 US women's (as we all know women's sizes can vary by manufacturer) and have a length (toe to heel) of 23.7 cm. Dream Pairs' 8 was most comfortable for me as someone who wants the options of layers (socks, fishnets, tights, jeans, etc). You might prefer a half size smaller for a more snug fit.QUALITY - For the price, Dream Pairs nails it. My first pair in black has lasted over 2 years so far with no issues. There are some minor scuffs on the toes, but that was entirely my fault (I'm childish and enjoy kicking rocks from time to time) so not worth taking off a star. I can wear these boots year-round in the sweltering heat of Florida yet not feel like my legs are melting. Moreover, I've even worn these in the snow while on vacation and still felt warm, dry, and comfortable. All the zippers have held up well although the pocket zipper pulls were a little stiff at first.COLOR - The terran black and terran gray are both as pictured. The only thing I didn't like about the gray boots is the brown heel clashes a bit for my tastes, and I would have preferred a gray boot that is actually 100% gray. On the bright side, the color is a nice neutral gray that goes with everything rather than some grays with yellow or blue undertones for example.Lastly, while a couple reviewers complained about the "noise" these boots make when you walk, I actually kind of love that detail. Not that it's super noticeable or annoying, but on a quiet evening walk when I do hear it, I enjoy the commanding, satisfying "stomp". It gives me a boost of confidence as if I can take on anything and look like a badass doing it. Funny story - my husband instantly knew it was me walking past a dressing room he was in once because he heard my signature boots. TIP: If you're really that particular and feel the need to sneak up on people, you could easily adjust this yourself if you glue the loose part of the buckle or maybe wrap a small piece of felt/cloth around it.tldr; Beautiful boots at a good price. Practical pocket for essentials, comfortable for every day wear, lovely way to elevate any outfit. Loved it so much I bought another in a different color. A+ would stomp all around the world with these.

I bought these for my Freddy/Halloween costume. I really like the look of the boots. They are rich, deep in black color and not shiny. More like suede. Judging from others reviews, possibly a cheap material, or coating rather, that could easily scuff, peel or wear off. I feel as though, that these are pretty sturdy and I don't think it would be too much of an issue of wear n' tear, at least for me. Time will tell...as I just recently purchased these. But as far as "looking cheap", it differs on opinion. For $30, I think they're cute.They feel comfortable to wear for a long time out and comfortable to walk in, albeit, a little hard. They are a little stiff to my liking, but of course, that's with all boots I assume. That's what's to be expected. Of all boots I've tried in the past, these are pretty comfortable. I'm not much of a boot wearer. If I'm perfectly honest, I live in uggs and thick socks in all of the cold seasons. But I do think these will be amazing on rainy days.I love the buckle details on the back. I think that's honestly what sold me. That, and the side zippers. They are not deep pockets, but just enough to store your important cards and maybe some cash. I like that they are mid calf; not too high not too short. Just right. I think they compliment a wide variety of outfits for any season, especially the cold. They do have a fleece lining inside the whole boot, not just the ankle part. Love that. So be sure to size up should you want to wear thick socks in the fall/winter. It makes all the difference.Also, I absolutely love that you can make them tighter or looser to your liking. I chose these to be big on me on purpose and bought em big enough that I can slide my foot right in thru the top and don't even need to unzip. Tighten only if I want to. They are such ease to me. They are calf friendly and they don't offer wide sizes, but that's okay. I still really like them. One more note: Be gentle with the zipper in zipping them back up. It tends to snag a little. So I just be cautious as to not zip them down all the way to prevent them from coming off track or breaking.

I really really like these boots! Im on the shorter side so its difficult to find the right height/fit boot especially for this style. I own a few different styles of Dream Pairs shoes and I love them but the sizing seems to be a bit inconsistent. These were 50% off when I got them or I would've switched sizes for sure. Im usually between a 6.5 - 8 (I know lol) but lean towards smaller for other shoes. Last pair of DreamPairs boots I bought were 8 and fit perfectly. I also have 2 pairs of the same style slipper shoes, ones a 7 and ones an 8, and the 8 was definitely a much better fit.SO I went with the 8 for these and they are big. Definitely should've went with the 7.5, maybe even 7. I do wear multiple pairs of socks in the winter so that helps but yeah I'd size down for these. even if it suggests a size,like for me it said to get the 8. I should've listened to my gut lol. overall I really like them and I wear them alot. I like the zipper, the pocket, the style. Theyd be 5 stars if sizing was more accurate, wish I could give a 4.5 ( I like 1/2s lol )Oh and not very water proof so dont get them for snow boots which I didn't so thats okay, just a warning 🙂
