Anthro Review: Berry-Stitched Boots

This weekend I received my Berry-Stitched Boots and I LOVE them!

I noticed that they've gotten two negative reviews on Anthro's website. :-( One review commented on big holes where the stitching is but I don't see that on mine. It's true that they aren't lined, but since I'm from Florida, I don't really buy boots for warmth, so that didn't bother me. I would think you could layer some warm tights/socks underneath and they'd be just fine in colder temps. The other reviewers also didn't like the color but I think they're beautiful! My leather couch is about the same color which is what I was anticipating. I think they're a nice alternative to wearing black boots and definitely different than the brown boots I have. As you can see in my pictures below, they go with other neutrals, brown, grey, black, & navy, and they look lovely with my favorite color, purple. :-)

As far as fit, I'm often between a 7 and 7.5 so I went with the 7.5 so I'd have extra room and they fit me perfectly. They also aren't too slouchy or too big around the calves. I have average sized calves and these are roomy enough that I'll be able to wear jeans tucked in but not too loose with just tights. As far as I can tell, they're going to be pretty comfortable to wear even if I have to do a lot of walking.

Here are some of the ways that I plan to wear them this fall:



Here are some detail shots. They looks great with the Berry Bush tights!





Purple, grey, and brown: I like this fall color combo! :-)




They look good with turquoise too!



I know some people hate mixing black and brown but I like the way it looks here. I couldn't resist throwing on these cute striped socks for a fun look! ;-)


Here's another detail shot that shows the color pretty accurately:
