My first & I hope my LAST. Let me start off with stating I knew about the Dolce Vita Eve’s before they were even OUT in any store/online boutique and boy, was I excited! For numerous reasons, of course.. One being I FINALLY found a pair of boots that I would actually like. It’s such a bitch to find a good pair of boots these days. Anyhow, when they came out and I was notified via e-mail, I did not, unfortunately, have the money for them. & that’s so rare! (This is another reason why I feel it was just not meant to be) I watched as MY boots went in & out of stock, constantly re-signing up for when my size is available. The day I was able to purchase these boots was the day there was only a size 8 available. Every girl knows a half size larger is needed in boots! But I decided to try them anyhow hoping for the best. Was I wrong! I TRIED to make them wrong, attempted to make myself believe they fit, however, they did not. & I thank God for having a fiance that will actually tell me the truth even if he knows there’s consequences when he tells me things a girl never wants to hear. “That doesn’t fit.” With regret, I sent them back searching Froogle for my size. I found the right size on Ebay (of all places) and was a bit skeptical about it too. I decided to bid on the boots rather than buy it to see if I could get a cheaper price (y’know, since Spring is right around the corner n all.) At the last minute, some dream-ruiner outbid me! After a bid war, I lost due to a slow computer/connection and yes, it was not my fingers’ fault! I can’t express how disappointed I 1) let my new favourite boots slip from my fingers (literally) and 2) the final price was the cost of the boots at the “Buy it” price! After another week of searching, I came across a website I’ve never heard of but since I’ve already been taking all kinds of risks over these boots, why the hell not? I purchased them at full price & was still bittersweet that the boots on Ebay were less expensive. When I thought this whole mess was over, I get an e-mail from the seller on Ebay providing me with a “second chance offer” since for whatever reason the broad who outbid me did not go through with the transaction. Before placing the order, I canceled my prior order. When I FINALLY received the boots from Ebay after it went through a “snow storm,” not only were they worn, there was a nail sticking out at the foot of the bed! Disgusted, I arranged a return with the seller. At this point, I must have been seeing things because I stumbled across the boots on another website for a half of the price and in my size! Let’s just say I really was seeing things because when I received the order, I realized that the boots I ordered were another style of Dolce Vita and not the Eve. Later that evening after dropping my return off at the post office, I found myself re-ordering the boots for full price on the website I canceled them from.. I got the boots today and they appear to be worn & I am not happy. & if anyone knows me, they know worn shoes/boots do not go unnoticed! After staring at them for quite some time & debating on if I should try again and request an exchange, I have accepted the fact that it was not meant to be. It is now two weeks until Spring & I have spent two months on credit card using, wasting money on return shipping, and keeping my hopes up. That being said, I have learned my lesson. I hope next Winter never comes.

Thanks for the photo, Free People. I would have purchased the boots from if you had my size.
