Rosa Zipper Boots - By Anya

THESE ARE THE ONES! I literally said to my husband, "These are the ones! The boots I've been looking for for over 10 years!"

I have large feet and finding stylish barefoot shoes is next to impossible. I wear my soft star shearling boots all winter because I just don't have nice boots. But sometimes I want to look a bit more stylish. So THANK YOU ANYA!!!

These are so perfect it is hard to describe but I'll try: they're not HUGE with a gaping ankle; instead, they fit close to the ankle for a sleek and refined look (see photo). The rounded toe box is perfectly wide so that it doesn't look like a weird shape but still gives room for the toes to splay inside (see other photo). The leather is top notch and feels like it will soften up perfectly to make these boots fit like a glove after I break them in. There is significant "ground feel" in these as the soles are not super thick like other boots (see last photo). So happy with these and worth every penny!

One thing to note: in larger sizes the zipper is at a slight diagonal, not placed quite as vertically on the boot as the model pictures show on the site. This is likely due to the length of the boot requiring this in larger sizes and I think it still looks pretty.

And don't forget to size up a bit for the perfect size! I missed the note on the site to add a few mm to my measured foot length and originally ordered my normal size 42. They were tight and THEN I saw the site says to add 10-15mm to your foot length to get the right size. I only went about 7mm over my foot length to size up 1 rather than 2 sizes, and they are perfect. (I normally wear a 42 and these are a 43.)

I can't wait to buy more shoes from Anya's Shop in the future. I'm already eyeing my next pair! :)

I purchased two pairs of these boots about 4 years ago, the brown and grey. I wear them both mainly to work in an office environment. I find that they work really well with casual/ smart office wear, dresses, skirts, slacks etc.. I find them to be incredibly comfortable and fit true to size for me, I rarely take anything other than a 37. After four years the brown pair still looks really good, has some creasing from wear but that is normal, the soles are still perfect. The grey suede pair have also held up, but it is harder to keep suede looking good. I have probably worn this pair a bit more and so the edge of one of the soles is starting to peel away, but I would expect that after regular wear for over four years. Overall I am very pleased with these shoes, and will probably order another suede pair soon as they are my favorite barefoot dress shoes, in comfort and looks!

I bought these boots because I felt they’d fill a hole in my wardrobe. I needed nice-looking & quiet, somewhat dressy boots to wear at work with skirts & tights. They definitely work in that way, but to my surprise they are also some of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned, and the materials & detailing are solid in quality. As an extra perk, the swinging tassels are fun to wear & show spirit. I’m super pleased with these!

This was my first pair of shoes from Anya's shop, and they're okay.
I measured my feet, and wound up with a size that my feet minorly slosh around in. I added heel guard inside to minimize that, and they're pretty comfortable with thick socks.
I've had them since Feb 2023, and now it's April 2025. They haven't keep my feet warm, so maybe I'll try some wool inserts I recently bought.
My main issue with the shoe is how the design leads to so many insightly creases. From the toes up to my ankle is full of creases, and I think this is unavoidable with the way they were designed, but probably avoidable if they were designed differently. I'll wear these until I feel like I've gotten my money's worth, but I certainly won't purchase them again.

The leather is great once it breaks it after a few wears, but the opening is too narrow. The zipper at the top also rubs and irritates the skin if the socks you're wearing don't cover that part.
