Bed Stu Women's Cambridge Motorcycle Boots - Stylish Leather Riding Boots for Women, Comfortable & Durable for Daily Wear, Motorcycle Rides & Outdoor Adventures

First thing: I got the black distressed, which are actually black with a lavender wash. Indoors they look mostly black, but out in the light, they have a lot of lavender-purple in them! For me, this is why I got them!! I saw them on Free People, listed as a new Bed Stu Manchester boot in "black-lavender" and then busted my --- to find them cheaper somewhere else! But though they are VERY similar to the Manchester in looks (the main difference is the perforated shaft), I found them to be thicker, better quality leather (i had just gotten the Manchester and returned them for these). And the purple wash CANNOT be beat (if you like looking a bit unique and wearing things no one else has)! So it took some searching to find out that these were Bed Stu's brand-new Cambridge boot, NOT a Manchester. On Amazon- and elsewhere- they are listed as simply "black" or "black distressed" BUT they ARE black and lavender. As of this date they only come in two colors- tan driftwood (sometimes called just "tan") and this black-purple combo. I think that's important to know!They are GORGEOUS! In my extensive boot collection (haha, you boot hoarders know what I'm saying!) these have quickly become my favorite every day boot. Besides being beautifully made, and besides the fact that I LOVE (and pined for) the black-lavender color, they are supremely comfortable from minute one. I wore these two days in a row, on my feet all day at work, even went for a walk in them and they felt like I'd owned them forever! That's what I love about this brand- Bed Stus are the MOST comfortable boots I own, and I own four pairs :D !! I also have Docs and Frye and Freebird and Born and none come close to Bed Stu in comfort.The fit- they do seem to run a bit big lengthwise, though the footbed is narrow. My feet are medium width, but if your feet are on the wider side, these may not be the boots for you. I almost always size up from a 7.5 to an 8 in boots to make room for winter socks but in Bed Stu- in my own experience- they always run a bit big (long) so I went with a 7.5 (my true size) but I could've maybe even done a 7. I kept the 7.5 (couldn't bear to send them back and wait for a new pair! you know what i mean!) and though roomy, they're very, very comfortable.If you even remotely like the idea of standing out in the black- lavender boot, you will LOVE and adore these boots. Right now, after wearing them for over a week nearly every day, they are my all-time favorite boots! Even my husband who could care less about shoes/boots, noticed them and said they were the coolest boots he ever saw.
