Best boots ever owned!

I am in love with these boots. They are the kind of boots I have always wanted, I am wearing them every single day and they're so comfortable, so cute, I'm excited to wear them every time. They give me the style and aesthetic I'm going for perfectly, they feel very special. I love love love them

The Ruth boots are my favourite shoes. I've owned my previous pair since 2019, and have worn them so much that my shoemaker has finally given up on them. Time for a new pair! I was super stoked to see that they now exist in a wide version, which is amazing for my wide feet. My previous pair had adjusted to my wide feet over them but it put visible stress on the (now stretched) leather over time. The wide fit perfectly - on my feet. They are, however, also more wide on the calves. Not sure if that is true for the "normal" version as well as the wide one. Unfortunately they are too wide for my calves now and I cant lace them up anymore. That's a bit of a shame. In winter I can wear thick socks to compensate, I'm spring and fall I will only be able to lace them half up. I will still keep them as love this style and my previous ones where the most comfortable shoes I ever owned. It'd be great if the description would also mention that the calves are wider if you buy the wide version. Photo of my previous pair in the front and the knew one in the back.

My dream boots

Been wanting boots like these for a long time to go with my vintage-inspired dresses. Finally decided to treat myself and buy a pair after completing my first semester of Masters and I'm so happy I did! I love the design and I definitely don't mind spending a little more time lacing them up in the morning. Couldn't resist wearing them to work today! Super comfy from the get-go, no breaking in required. They arrived in about a week or so which was a lot faster than I expected. I'm eyeing some of the other boots on the website, so will definitely be saving up for my next pair!

The perfect fit!

These are my second pair of memery shoes. I keep getting surprised by how well they fit me and by how comfortable they are. This time, it was a pre-order item and once they were in stock I received an email about their shipment and about three days later my shoes arrived. I always have to worry about the sizing (I have quite long and slender feet, I‘m usually wearing a EU 42 but it‘s typically too wide) yet memery has kept on surprising me with how well they fit me! Immediately went for a walk and could have gone on for hours. Excellent style and quality!

Dear Bianca.
We are happy to hear that the Ruth boots are the perfect fit for you and that you find them comfortable. We hope you continue to enjoy your new boots! Best Ditte

Hands down, the best shoes I've ever owned

These boots are simply amazing. I'm usually size 37 but decided to follow the guideline and chose 38. I was worried they will be too big as 38 is usually too loose on me, but they fit like a glove with enough space for the toes to rest comfortably. Prior to wearing these boots, I wasn't even aware that footwear isn't supposed to hurt your feet in some way. Memery shoes are my new standard now. It's honestly a miracle; I still can't get over just how comfortable they are.

The leather is of good quality and is pleasant to touch without being too soft or too stiff. It has a mark of quality on the sole.
I will have to get used to the lacing, since it takes a few minutes longer than usual, but it's honestly not an issue, makes it more historically accurate if anything :)
The design itself is obviously gorgeous. They make my feet look even smaller than they are. Very feminine, delicate and sophisticated look. Suitable for various clothing styles, even more casual ones.
Remarkably, they make a very satisfying sound when you walk, that reminds me of a chocolate bar for some reason hahah

There was a shipping issue, which almost made me lose all hope that I will ever see these boots in person. But thankfully, after almost two months of fighting with post office, I finally was able to receive them. However, the responsibility lies completely on the post' terrible handling mistake and not on Memery, so I believe it would be ridiculous to derive stars for that.
The boots were packed very nicely with lovely cards and additional laces.

I am very pleased with these boots and I'm sure they're going to serve me well for years to come. I am looking forward for more purchases from Memery, hopefully they won't be so stressful hahah x)

Dear Liza.

The best gift to myself!

I’d never expected them to be that comfortable straight out of the box, the leather-canvas combo is truly something else. The shoes were nicely packaged, too.

I wore them for a week to experience the leather sole, then I took them to a cobbler because Belgium is too rainy and I want to wear them nearly daily. I’ve had them for a month now and I’m so happy I did! You honestly can’t tell from the side that there’s a rubber sole on them, so it doesn’t ruin the authentic look for me.

It’s the first time I wear vintage style shoes so I had to get used to the look for a moment (as is the case with anything you wear that deviates from the norm), but now I absolutely adore them. The heel sound is also fabulous. I’ve spent months and months pining for these boots, I’m so happy I went ahead and purchased them! They also just look so cool standing next to my other shoes, I feel like a movie character haha.

Dear Sandy.
Thank you for your very kind review. We're happy to hear that our Ruth boots were the perfect gift to yourself. They definitely add a cool vintage touch to any outfit. Happy walking! Best Ditte

Amazing shoes!

Incredibly comfortable shoes! Fits perfectly on the foot thanks to the lacing. The heel is just right.
The only downside was that the leather sole underneath is slippery but I took them to a shoemaker who put on a thin rubber sole.
Highly recommend this shoe model for anyone who wants a nice and comfortable shoe.

Hi Lisbeth. Thank you for your kind words on our Ruth boots, I'm happy to hear they fit you straight out of the box. Our boots are made with leather soles, just like the originals back then. As soon as you start to use them, the sole will roughen up and become much less slippery. But as you say, it's also an option to have a cobbler add rubber soles on top of the leather soles.

Perfect! I love them

Perfect! I love them. I have trouble finding stylish and comfortable wide fitting shoes and these are beautiful and wearable straight out of the box. They don’t look like they are wide fitting. Perfectly proportioned. My absolute favourite pair of boots.

Hi Katherine.
Thank you for your kind words about our Ruth boots, we're so glad to hear that you love them and that they fit comfortably right out of the box. Best Ditte

Utterly wonderful!

These are the best boots ever. I have a condition called Morten's Neuroma in my feet which causes shooting pain through the ball of my foot into my toes. It's excruciating. It had got to the point where the only thing I could wear was ugly, unfeminine extra-cushioned trainers. Argh - so not my style.
These boots are actually comfortable. I can stand and walk without pain. This is nothing short of a miracle. They are both comfortable and feminine. I am happy happy happy happy happy! 😍

Hi Anne.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for our Ruth boots. We are happy to hear that they have helped with your condition and that you are able to walk and stand without pain. We are so happy to have been able to provide you with comfortable and feminine boots. Best Ditte

Son mis primeros pares, pero seguro que pediré mas. Me encantan, se nota la calidad y la comodidad.

Gorgeous!

Very good shoes, comfortable from the get-go. Still getting used to the lacing, and could wish they came with a little rubber sole already. Other than that, I'm pleased as punch!

Hi Maria. Thank you for the kind words on our Ruth boots and for the lovely review. Our shoes are based on true design, which includes leather soles, just like they had back then. If you regularly treat the soles with leather care, they should hold up great, but it is also easy for a cobbler to add a pair of rubber soles if you like. Best Ditte

Comfortable all day

I have 4 pair now. That way I am not without when I wear them down and need repaired. I can rely on taking a new pair out of box and wearing for 13 hours at work. Stylish, get compliments. Looks great with jeans, pants & my kilt.
One suggestion would be quieter rubber heel- my coworker thinks they are loud on tile floor. The ones I have had repaired I have had them change to quieter material

Hi Angie. We're so glad to hear that the boots are comfortable for all-day wear and that you have multiple pairs. We appreciate your suggestion about the rubber heel - the reason we have added a more hard heel is because they don't get worn down as easily as a softer rubber heel. Thanks again for your feedback and for choosing our boots! Best Ditte

I love these boots!

I love these boots! They’re very comfortable and sturdy, and make me realise I have never had shoes that fit me so well (I normally get size 3 but size 2 being available was perfect). They look so stylish and can go with anything, I’ve had so many compliments on them!

Hi Charlotte.
How lovely that you are loving your Ruth boots. We hope you continue to receive many compliments on them. Best Ditte

De er simpelthen perfekte

Fik ikke tid til at gå dem til. De kom på med det samme til et historisk event vi var på. Jeg valgte nprmal sko str og normal bredde. Gik rundt med dem på 2 hele dage og de hverken trykkede eller klemte. Læderet er af højeste kvalitet og smyger sig om foden. Jeg tror de støvler vil kunne holde i rigtig mange år og de vil fint kunne bruges som støvler til ens "hverdagstøj". Tak fordi i laver vintage fodtøj som kommer så tæt på det originale uden at gå på kompromis med komforten 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️👢👢👢

Kære Heidi.
Tusind tak for de fine billeder og din skønne anmeldelse af vores Ruth støvler. Det er dejligt at høre at de passede perfekt fra første gang og at du kan bruge dem både til historiske arrangementer og til hverdag.
Hilsen Ditte
