Lucky Brand Basels Ankle Booties

This is the second pair I’ve purchased. They’re my go-to for work. They’re comfy and stylish. They pair well with jeans too. I recommend!

This is my second pair of the Lucky Women’s Basel Boot. My first pair was purchased from the brick & mortar Lucky Brand store last Thanksgiving weekend. I absolutely fell in LOVE with that first pair in the Toffee color. My only complaint was that it was a little tight across the ball of my feet but that was easily remedied by taking them to my local shoe repair and having them stretched. Once I did that they were perfect! So perfect in fact that when I saw them here on Amazon I jumped at the chance for another pair, this time in the Italian Olive suede. This pair was perfect right out of the box with no need for stretching which I attributed to the material being suede and softer by nature. And the rubber sole means no slippery break-in time – they feel like sneakers! I’ve worn them about a half dozen times now (one day walking all over downtown) and they are amazingly comfy and supportive as is the first pair in Toffee. They have the perfect heel height for comfort AND style. I’ve worn both pairs with skinny jeans, skirts and dresses and I get compliments every time. My only note about sizing is that I usually wear a 7 in closed toe shoes but found the 7 to be a bit too big so sized down to a 6.5 which fits like a glove. My feet are narrow so I’m not sure how gals with wider feet would do in these boots especially given that I needed the first pair stretched a bit, but I refuse to wear shoes that are even a tiny bit uncomfortable so maybe those that don’t have that as a priority won’t mind a little snug-ness around the balls of the feet. I’ve read that some who bought these boots felt they haven’t held up well, especially when worn in wet weather. This has not been my experience. In fact I just wore the Olive suede ones many days in a row and as I mentioned above walking all over downtown one day and they still look gorgeous and brand new. We’ve had a ton of rain lately, but I did not wear them in the wet weather because I didn’t want them to get wrecked as is my habit whenever it gets rainy. I generally wear rain boots or water proofed UGGS when it rains so I don’t ruin my nicer shoes, but that’s easy for me since I live in SoCal and we have long dry spells between wet weather. Hope this review helps those who are considering these awesome boots. My advice: BUY THEM! For this price they are fantastic! I may actually get a third pair! 😉

These are exact to size. They are durable and adorable. They are comfortable and just right for almost any outfit. I can dress up or dress down and know that these ankle boots will match perfectly.

The color on the heal started coming off in a week but since they are leather and comfortable enough, I’ll have a shoemaker take care of that when it gets too bad.
Great looking booties overall.
Not good to wear walking all day if you have flat feet.
Still, worth a sale.

I’ve had numerous pairs of these Lucky Brand zippered Basels bootie. All of my pairs of these shoes the zipper either gave up immediately or eventually it wore out and would split/no longer zip properly. This shoe’s zipper arrived ALREADY split and unable to use – on a supposedly brand new shoe! I have completely given up on these shoes, which is sad because they are adorable. If Lucky Brand would just fix the zipper problem on all these bootie shoes…..it’s a problem that has existed since at least 2016 when I started buying them.

This shoe feels very comfortable, although not enough heel cushioning than I would prefer but still an affordable and overall durable shoe for wearing to work or church for several years as long as they don’t get severely scuffed.
