Favorite boots (ever)
Ok, I have to resist wearing these shoes everyday. These are the ultimate staple show that creates an easy gateway for your personal flare of expression, regardless of what you wear them with. They fit immediately, no painful break ins. Impeccable craftsmanship. Stunning (and practical). I love these boots!
Immediately became my favorite pair of boots!
This is my fourth pair of fortress shoes and these boots are my favorite pair. Not just of fortress shoes, but of all of my shoes. The color is gorgeous, they’re the MOST comfortable, and I wear them at absolutely every opportunity. Could not recommend this whole brand more highly!
Gorgeous
I’ve been eyeing these for a year and so glad I finally got them. I’m normally an 8 but got an 8.5 since I tend to wear thicker socks with boots and they’re perfect. My new fave pair. I got compliments the first night wearing them.
Ankle circumference
In case you need to know, the ankle circumference is 10" on a size 37 (will gradually increase as you go up in size, a size 40 is roughly 11") according to the support team.
