Freebird Women's Pikes Western Boot

These boots were extra cute but were too tight across the toes.

Love these boots, but they are hard to zip. Not sure if it is just my pair.

These boots are ruggedly good looking and true to size and a perfect height for my needs. I would consider them casual/everyday boots and would have no qualms walking through mud and snow with these boots because they are so well made. The only drawback is the instep is too low. I have high arches and thus a high instep, so it fits very tight in that region. Ive tried to wear them on several occasions but they hurt my foot too much to wear them long enough to stretch them out. They even hurt my instep even when Im not standing. Its a constant pressure pushing down on the top of my foot. Ive always had a high instep but never have I had to stretch out any of my other Freebird boots. I got the PIKE for a very good price so I never returned them hoping I would eventually stretch them out. Its not going so well. Sometimes strong tough leather has its drawbacks so I might have to resell them. However, before I choose to sell them, I might try wearing a wet sock similar to what the real cowboys did in the old days when boots didn't not have a right or left foot. They would wet the entire boot and then wear them until the boots dried and thus they would have a custom pair of boots. I'd really have to love these boots to deal with that. So Ive got give it some serious thought. As for the zipper, as long as it closes and opens then its a low priority right now. I hear you can sprinkle graphite on the zipper and it will help loosen it but frankly Im glad its a sturdy zipper. It matches the toughness of the boot. Like Frye boots, Freebird boots are built to last!

The boot was too difficult to zip and pinched in the toe box. I need to return.Please advise as to paperwork for return.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with my Pikes free bird boots !!!!What ever size you wear get the boots one size larger - I own 6 pairs of Freebird boots and can not wait to add more to my collection.You will not be disappointed.

Thought I would ache and wasn't sure... tight at first. Loosened up, got lots of compliments and love them. Still a little tight... hope they loosen. Wish the buckles didn't jiggle, but i guess thats the style.

The boots are nice looking but the quality of leather is bad. They run way too small. Zipper will barely move. Very disappointed with everything except the look.

Very comfy from day one.
