DREAM PAIRSWomen's Mid Calf Built-in Wallet Pocket Lace up Military Combat Boots
A**R
Perfect every day boots
At first I was simply looking for boots with a built-in pocket since I hate carrying purses (especially for concerts, day-trips, etc), and as a delightful surprise I found my favorite shoes for all occasions. I honestly prefer to wear boots nearly every day now and love how these instantly make any outfit look more polished.STORAGE - Obviously don't expect to put too much in each pocket as it's not meant to hold a lot nor would you want an unsightly bulge or creases in the material anyway. It is, however, perfect for a few essentials. I keep my ID, credit card, and cash on one and a tiny phone charger cable in the other. Inside the shoe itself I sometimes tuck in a small portable battery against my calf. In public bathrooms, I love being able to temporarily hold my phone in the boot rather than using a random gross ledge on those days bringing a bag is impractical. You may not have this extra room if you have wider calves though.FIT - My first couple of pairs did not fit so I had to exchange them, but once I got a better size it was worth the hassle. For reference, I wear shoes anywhere between a 7 and 8 US women's (as we all know women's sizes can vary by manufacturer) and have a length (toe to heel) of 23.7 cm. Dream Pairs' 8 was most comfortable for me as someone who wants the options of layers (socks, fishnets, tights, jeans, etc). You might prefer a half size smaller for a more snug fit.QUALITY - For the price, Dream Pairs nails it. My first pair in black has lasted over 2 years so far with no issues. There are some minor scuffs on the toes, but that was entirely my fault (I'm childish and enjoy kicking rocks from time to time) so not worth taking off a star. I can wear these boots year-round in the sweltering heat of Florida yet not feel like my legs are melting. Moreover, I've even worn these in the snow while on vacation and still felt warm, dry, and comfortable. All the zippers have held up well although the pocket zipper pulls were a little stiff at first.COLOR - The terran black and terran gray are both as pictured. The only thing I didn't like about the gray boots is the brown heel clashes a bit for my tastes, and I would have preferred a gray boot that is actually 100% gray. On the bright side, the color is a nice neutral gray that goes with everything rather than some grays with yellow or blue undertones for example.Lastly, while a couple reviewers complained about the "noise" these boots make when you walk, I actually kind of love that detail. Not that it's super noticeable or annoying, but on a quiet evening walk when I do hear it, I enjoy the commanding, satisfying "stomp". It gives me a boost of confidence as if I can take on anything and look like a badass doing it. Funny story - my husband instantly knew it was me walking past a dressing room he was in once because he heard my signature boots. TIP: If you're really that particular and feel the need to sneak up on people, you could easily adjust this yourself if you glue the loose part of the buckle or maybe wrap a small piece of felt/cloth around it.tldr; Beautiful boots at a good price. Practical pocket for essentials, comfortable for every day wear, lovely way to elevate any outfit. Loved it so much I bought another in a different color. A+ would stomp all around the world with these.

Absolutely Love Them!!!
I wear a 7½ to an 8 depending on the shoe or boot. I ordered these in an 8 & they're absolutely perfect! They're extremely sturdy & well made but also light weight. I was a bit worried that they'd be heavy on my foot but, honestly, they're almost as comfortable as my slippers!Upon reading everyone else's reviews I saw many complaining about the zippers on the pockets. These zippers are not meant to open past the bottom of the inside pocket. The zipper is 2" longer than the pocket so don't expect it to pull down thru those final 2". I also noticed several complaints of the pocket zippers being difficult to open & close. Here's an old school hack to immediately remedy sticky zippers. Take a #2 pencil & run the lead [graphite] up & down the zipper teeth while it's closed, open the zipper & run it along the front & back of the teeth, then zip & unzip a few times to be sure each tooth & the zipper pull are fully 'lubricated' with the graphite. Works like a charm everytime without risking the oily stains &/or residue most lubricants leave. I keep a small pencil in my purse [along with a sharpener] for zipper & stuck lock emergencies. [Scrub pencil lead along key grooves & teeth. Repeatedly try turning key, continue coating grooves & teeth after each attempt until lock finally turns. This works 75% of the time. Be patient, may take a few attempts.]All in all, you will not regret buying these boots! For my feet the sizing is perfect, neither on the small or large side. They're well made, more comfortable than any boot I've ever worn before, & they look great with most everything! I am actually deciding which color to order my 2nd pair in!

runs BIG, comfortable, cute
I really really like these boots! Im on the shorter side so its difficult to find the right height/fit boot especially for this style. I own a few different styles of Dream Pairs shoes and I love them but the sizing seems to be a bit inconsistent. These were 50% off when I got them or I would've switched sizes for sure. Im usually between a 6.5 - 8 (I know lol) but lean towards smaller for other shoes. Last pair of DreamPairs boots I bought were 8 and fit perfectly. I also have 2 pairs of the same style slipper shoes, ones a 7 and ones an 8, and the 8 was definitely a much better fit.SO I went with the 8 for these and they are big. Definitely should've went with the 7.5, maybe even 7. I do wear multiple pairs of socks in the winter so that helps but yeah I'd size down for these. even if it suggests a size,like for me it said to get the 8. I should've listened to my gut lol. overall I really like them and I wear them alot. I like the zipper, the pocket, the style. Theyd be 5 stars if sizing was more accurate, wish I could give a 4.5 ( I like 1/2s lol )Oh and not very water proof so dont get them for snow boots which I didn't so thats okay, just a warning 🙂

Best Boots Ever
I love these boots so much that I keep buying them over and over again! They aren't the most durable on the bottom... but then again I wear them literally everywhere, and I walk outside a lot so that might be why they wear out in a few months. The pockets make it way easier to move around the city without a purse, and they're just so dang comfy (and cute!)

Love these boots.
So comfy. So cute, especially with a skater dress.

Lasting surprisingly long
I’ve had these boots for a few months now and they’re surprising me with its durability. I live in northern Canada and our winters are unforgiving when it comes to shoes due to the salt used on the roads. I read another review saying that they don’t fair well with the salt so I’ve been babying them a little lol. They’ve lasted well so far and I’m impressed. I really like that the zipper is not for show and it’s just big enough of a pocket to fit a debit card or some cash for example, very useful for going out. They aren’t totally waterproof but I haven’t been going in many puddles and only once did I have a leakage.Im not sure how long they will last but for something of this price off Amazon I’m very impressed! 10/10

Great pair of boots, Comfortable and nice fit.
These boots are great, they are very affordable, comfortable and they look amazing. My boots also arrived a week earlier than expected and was very surprised when they showed up. I wouldn’t recommend these boots for winter, especially in Canada, but I think these are great for the rest of the year. I’d note that the belts on the back don’t actually tighten so their a bit loose up the calf, but they are perfect around my feet.

Good looking boots
Got these for my 16 year old and they loved them. The boots do look really nice and are quick and easy to take off and on with the zip. They only lasted about 6 months as the sole started to detach from the rest of the boot however my kid always wears through boots quickly as they walk heavily on the side of their heels so I think for most people these would last a lot longer. They really look cool.

MY OVERALL FAVOURITE BOOTS
I have had about 4 pairs of these boots over the years. For the price, they are excellent value for money. I am a size seven and they are a perfect fit, very comfortable and stylish.
