Is it me, or do the Berry's look wider on the shaft than the Blackson? I bought the Blackson, but have been unsure, waiting on the Berry, but it seems that the Berry fit's completely differently to what I thought they would.
Has anybody tried both on? and are the Berry boots hard to walk in, because of their heel or width of the top of the boot?
Excuse the tidal wave of questions, just confused over which boot is the more comfortable and flattering...:smile1:

It's pretty hard to walk in...my heel keeps slipping out...I think it's cuz the opening is so big...I also have skinny feet, so that might be an issue....but the shoe itself fits length wise

I ordered the Blackson in a 40 and 41, I found that with the 40, that my feet were twisting outwards in them. The 41 fit, a little bit wide, a bit of slippage on my left foot. I have the same problem with narrow feet, but at least with socks the Blackson 41 fit, and aren't wide in the shaft of the boot, so my feet do stay in.
I think that maybe if you have narrow feet the Berry may not fit as well, because of the opening like you said. I thought the Berry would be more comfy than the high heel of the Blackson, but I'm beginning to have second thoughts.:shrugs:

I was thinking that the cone heel would be easier to walk in than the heel on the blackson, but when standing with the Berrys on, I feel wobbly...and that's without even walking....I'm beginning the think that it's not for me...but I love the way it looks

Can you post some pics of your blackson?

Hi JDN just wanted to say that I had ordered the same Berrys as you but I returned them as I was not completely satisfied for the price tag. Here are some mod pics:

Thanks pinkydream...unfortunately, I may be sending mine back as we'll...as much as I love the way it looks from the front, I really don't like the side view...plus, it doesn't fit well...guess its a blessing in disguise...I really don't need another pair of boots

Yes it was kinda loose on the ankle and I felt the the heel was slippery. I thought as well I would prefer the Berry over the Blackson because of the cone heel but as you said the opening is too wide on this Berry. All this and I wasnt to crazy about the way they are made, They dont seem really durable to me, made me return them.

I guess I should thank you all...I was ready to purchase berry and your reviews changed my mind. I love the blackson, but I wanted a lower heel.
Too bad about the quality. I love the quality of my dicker & Jenny boots.

when berrys is available at barneys...i might stop by to check them out. the blacksons' fit is perfect....

Hi dear boxermomo, maybe you can order the Berry where you have the option to return for full refund?:smile1: Yes that what my thought too I wanted a lower heel but the Berry heel is also 10 cm.
I have the taupe Jennys too and 5 pair of Bekkets / Willows and these are wonderfully made and very durable. My oldest pair of Bekkets is two years old and it holds up fantastic.

I'm thinking about ordering from La Garconne. I hate returning though.
I'm not worried about the western look...where I live that style never seems to go out.:D It is definitely a more edgy western look.
All my boots slip at the heel. It really doesn't help that I have 2 different size feet. :roflmfao:
