TOPSHOP BETTY STAR BOOTS AND BUDDY EYELET BOOTS REVIEW
Hello lovelies! I hope you are all having a great Sunday so far! I am very excited for this post, as I love shoes and I know how hard it is to get the right shoe and size when ordering online. Topshop is one of my favorite brands when it comes to affordable, yet good quality shoes. It has so many stylish and modern designs. The quality is always good, and I have many shoes that have lasted me for years. Combining that good, lasting quality with the affordable price of them, Topshop’s shoes are an amazing alternative for someone who doesn’t want to spend a fortune on a pair of shoes, but also doesn’t want to sacrifice quality. Lastly, a huge factor that makes me want to buy shoes from Topshop, is the sizing. I am a 5’10’’ girl with a size EU 41 or UK 8 or US 10 foot, and finding shoes has always been a hassle. It is even harder for me to find shoes from my favorite online brands like ASOS, because the sizing is not always as it is supposed to be. Therefore, I always end up getting size UK 9 or EU 42, just o make sure the shoe will not be small. I rather have a slightly bigger shoe than a smaller one. In this post I am going to review two lovely pairs of ankle boots I got from Topshop not too long ago.
The first pair I got was the Buddy Eyelet ankle boots in khaki color. I always love ankle boots. Apart from ballet flats they are my go-to shoes in the winter, because they are comfortable, stylish and protect your feet from the cold. I really love ankle boots. However, I realized recently that almost all my shoes are black, so there is no variety. Black is my favorite color for staple pieces like my everyday shoes and everyday bag, but I also like black for going out, as it is perfect and safer for more formal occasions. However, once I took a look at all my black shoes, I thought I just had to add some color to my shoe wardrobe. Therefore, when I saw those khaki ankle boots on Topshop site, I knew I had to have them. Khaki is one of my favorite colors for winter, because it is not too bold and it is also easy to match. I got the shoes in UK 9 just to be safe and I was not wrong. The shoes do have a small fit, so there is no way I would fit in UK 8. The heel is a little higher than what I have used to wear on a daily basis, but not high enough to get me tired. They are suede, which wouldn’t be a problem normally as I absolutely love suede, however, the suede in these shoes is a little rough. The shoes pressure the top of my foot a little bit just because the material is so rigid. I love the combination of khaki with the golden studs and how the shoes are not just plain but have that little detail. Overall, the Buddy Eyelet shoes are lovely. The have a nice height heel, chunky and low enough for every day. They are comfortable, but the material is rigid enough that sometimes it pressure the top of my foot. The color is gorgeous, but I did have to get the 42/9 size as they do run a little small. I would definitely recommend them!
The Betty Star ankle boots are my most recent purchase. I know I know, I went back to black. What can I say, I can’t help it! I love black shoes! These boots are just amazing. They are suede, very simple but they have those cute golden stars on the back, which spices things up a bit. So basically they are your everyday casual black ankle boots but with a twist. I am really into golden details like stars, studs and spikes, so I really like the combination of black with gold. I feel they add some glamor to the shoes. From all aspects, these boots are the same as the Buddy Eyelet ones. They have the same heel height, so not too high but not too low, and they are made from the same rigid suede. Therefore, they also pressure the top of my foot; not both shoes though, just the right one.I believe i just have to break them in. I got them in a size 42/9 as well, and once again I was right; the shoes run a bit small so if I had stuck to my regular 41 size, they wouldn’t fit. Overall, the Betty Star boots are perfect. I absolutely love them! They are great for everyday to add some dazzle to a plain outfit, but also great for the night if you – like me – don’t wear high heels often. As with the previous boots, I sized up because they run small. Also, the material is a little rigid and they pressure my upper foot. But they do fit quite well and they are at a great price, so I totally recommend them.
I love Topshop shoes, because they combine quality with price. I also love ankle boots in general, because they are very versatile and I can wear them in the daytime and nighttime, dress them up and dress them down. Both pairs are lovely. They have the right heel height and I really like the suede material. They run small so I would recommend sizing up, and at least for me, the rigid suede pressures my upper foot a bit, so I will try to soften them in a shoemaker. I love both their design as they are quite modern with golden studs and stars. I really recommend both pairs, as their price makes them very affordable.
