Zaqq Riquet Buckle Boot

I have a low volume foot, and these are roomy on me, but I will add an insole and tongue cushion if needed at a later point. I have slim ankles - but I can adjust the buckle to tighten a little, and I can wear with slouch socks, etc. Super cute look, and very comfortable. I wear a US 8.5, and got my usual European size 39 after checking measurements.

These are beautiful, quality boots but they were too snug for my wide, high volume feet. I returned them and got a pair of Shapen Divine boots instead, which I love! I am so grateful there is another option with a similar look that fits my feet.

I absolutely love these boots. The leather is soft and buttery, the strap allows you to adjust how they fit around the ankle. I have purchased 2 pairs of boots off Etsy and paid less than I’ve paid for the 2 shoes I’ve bought from Anya’s shop and I’ve now decided it’s worth it pay more and buy from Anya. The quality and elegance/shape of the shoes is so much better. And that is especially important with barefoot shoes. The one thing I would say about these Zaqqs is that I think they run a little small. I wish I had returned them and gone a size up. I didn’t because I loved them so much and wanted to start wearing them, but I feel the pinch. Usually 39 works well for me, but 40 would have been ideal in these.

I adore them! As Anya says in her review they are a bit hard to get on particularly if your socks are cotton and don't have any slip to them. I've never needed to use that tab thing in the back but I do with these. But once they are on they are divine. The quality of the leather is impressive. I can feel the leather through my cotton socks and I love it - it makes me feel secure and cozy. The high volume/low volume thing with regards to foot size confuses me - I'll say my feet are chubby and these boots are roomy without being sloppy. I've been in barefoot shoes exclusively for over a year and a half and will not go back. I also will not buy shoes from any source other than Anya because other vendors have horrible policies and horrible quality making returns a nightmare or impossible.

Excellent quality boots
