Customer Reviews Free People Cecile Ankle Boot

I LOVE THESE BOOTS! So stylish and comfortable. They look cute with skirts and jeans, both skinny and rolled up straight leg. I hesitated purchasing because of the price, but I'm so glad I got them. No regrets here!

I was looking for some updated black boots that didn't have a crazy high heel. These are perfect. Most boots with leather in both the upper and lining are priced much higher. My only problem is that they are TTS. I am a pretty solid size 6 with a normal width foot. Size 37 is a bit too big and I see now they have a size 36 in stock so I might order another pair to compare. I would say the width is on the wider side too.

These are the perfect updated Fall bootie. The high shaft is right on trend and the suede fabric is a must-have. I am a size 8.5 in boots and the 39 was perfect! They are super comfy and the heel height is just right. I think I'm going to order in another color. Totally worth the price point!!

These boots are beautiful boots.  They have a worn-in look in all the right places which I personally love. I tried them on with skinny jeans and they look fantastic. As far as comfort, I have had better. However, I only plan are wearing these for date nights or special occasions so I don't think it will be an issue.  As far as size, I would say  they are true to size.  I tried them on with my Smartwool Cable socks and they fit perfectly.  As far as price, due to the comfort level I don't think I would pay the full price.  I purchased these on sale which is why I'm keeping mine.

Very happy with the color and shaft height. Based on reviews, I ordered a 38 instead of 37, but I should have just gotten my usual size. They seem bigger in length and shaft circumference than I had wanted but not enough of an issue to return them. They seem very comfortable.

I am usually a 7.5-8, usually an 8 in boots and heels and I ordered the 38.5 in these which is supposed to convert to a size 8. They felt a half size too big. I tried them on and walked around for a few minutes and my feet were already aching. I have high arches and narrow feet and all the pressure was placed on the front of my feet and caused a lot of pain. The sole felt really thin in the front, like I was walking directly on the floor. The style is amazing, but they didn’t feel worth the price to me. I also got a very similar pair by jcrew to compare and I decided to keep those ones as they were basically the same price only much better quality. I preferred the color of these, they are the perfect fall brown. But the suede did not feel good and felt like it would wear down fast which isn’t a super big deal because I do think these might look cool as they wear down a bit. They just weren’t comfortable for my foot, maybe for someone with lower arches they would work better? They look amazing, but I need better support for my feet. Also, they were really slippery on the bottom and I nearly slipped on my floor when walking around in them.

Overall great fit! My only complaint is that sometimes the zipper gets stuck

Love this boot! I wear a 9, the 39 was too small, returning for a size 40.

Super cute! Doesn’t have much padding or arch support, but still danced all night pretty comfortably.

I usually wear a 6.5-7 & ordered what would be the 7 & there was room at the end of the toe box. Exchanged for a 6.5 & that was the winner. Got the snake print & they seem pretty comfortable & decent quality but I feel they're a little overpriced for the quality. I ordered the Chinese Laundry Daria in snake for $80. Those boots have a lot of good reviews. Waiting for those to come & will see which I like better.

Fit was good on these boots- even with a pair of lightweight socks. Style is great - super with jeans or a dress. I tried other black boots but they did not have the sleek look over the arch like these do.

Extremely cute! I must have mis calculated the size conversion BC they were way too big. I will reorder in my size.

These are very stylish boots. I get lots of complements on them when I wear them. Fit is good. Can't say they are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn- was hoping with the chunky heel they'd be a little more so, but they are still easy enough to walk in. Overall, a solid buy.

I really wanted to like this boot. A blogger that I follow raves about it in the black. I thought the high shaft and just high enough heel height would work for me. Unfortunately, the boot felt a little cheap (at least in the snake skin) and the arch support was both too low and placed no where near my actual instep. For this price, there are other options out there. Note that I originally was drawn to the color of the print (more nude/taupe) as I was not sold on the black/white or gray/white snake skin prints out there. This one just didn't cut it for me as far as quality and comfort.

Pro: Beautiful boots...they have a nice worn look in all the right places...which I personally love. I tried them on with skinny jeans and they looked fantastic. Con: I purchased them for "date nights" and I don't think I could wear them to concerts or spend a lot of time walking in them. For me, the heel was just a little too tall...unfortunately my days of heels seems to be closing :( If you are thinking of purchasing these I do recommend you give them a try..you might have better luck them me.

The length and width I believe to be accurate size 40 was 9M and although soft inside the outside of boots looked scuffed and worn already. The main reason I returned was the forefoot sole was PAPER THIN and I did not feel worth the money! Sadly returned:(

These boots are very stylish and at a comparatively good price for the look. They were too narrow for my normal foot and the leather edge around the bottom front was slightly frayed/worn for a new shoe. I think that may easily happen with the scales on the python leather, not sure. They did look brand new in the box. I am returning and would buy again at a lower price and size up.

These are nice looking boots but they were too tight on my calves so I had to return them

I ave a very high arch and the zipper in the back seemed a little "stiff" - I almost thought they looked a little worn. Sorry!

I loved these boots but unfortunately in my eyes they didn’t look good with jeans, which are what I wear most of the time, so I returned. They look amazing with a dress!

I have a narrow foot, but sometimes I can get away with normal width shoes. These were too wide for me. They bucket out towards the arch where the zipper makes the fabric rigid. On the otherhand, the ankle and calf areas were extremely tight. I almost couldn’t zip up the boot. Will have to return.

These are super narrow and did not feel good with my wide feet. Bummer because the style was cute and the chunky heel was comfortable.

It is hard to believe that these shoes cost $168. The suede is very poor quality. At the heel and toe and along the sides the suede is shiny, appearing that either the nap was rubbed off or glue got all over the shoe when they were making it. The zippers are also poor quality with one being stuck upon arrival. I had to work on it for a few minutes to even be able to try the shoes on. I have a narrow foot and these were roomy and comfortable so I could wear thick socks if I wanted. These are very generous size 42. I am about a size 11.5 in U.S. sizing and my toes did not touch the ends at all. I have a small ankle and these did not contour it at all, they were pretty straight up and down. Would probably be good for someone with ankles that are more on the large side. The heel is actually taller than 2 3/4 and there is no platform so not great for every day wear but feels comfy for a heel.

I found these to be poorly made and the fit was off. The area around the ankle was tiny.

Hard to judge the size when I couldn’t even get the zipper down on either of the 2 pairs I ordered. Order with caution because the zipper is probably going to break pretty early on!
