Re-New Kicks!

Got my first pair in 2014. Wore them into their “afterlife”, sadly. Fortunately, they have a Protégé.
More of the originality in revised design elements and stature. (Taller shaft). Had a small issue with the zippers on the new, but Bed Stu is immediately on top of speedy response and replacement pair. Really well-made shoe. Plus, the compliments don’t stop. The Black Lux is character in continual evolution. You deserve some!

Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful review for our updated Protege shoes! We're so glad to hear that you've been a fan since 2014 and that the revised design elements and taller shaft have caught your eye. We apologize for the small issue with the zippers on your new pair, but we're happy to hear that our team was able to quickly respond and provide a replacement. We take pride in our well-made shoes and love hearing that they have been receiving compliments. Thanks for choosing Bed Stu, you deserve the best!

Love these boots…

I have been a loyal Bedstu customer for years but had never gotten a pair of their boots, I’m so glad I finally did. I love these boots! They are extremely comfortable and well made, just like all of my other Bedstu shoes. Thank you!

Nice boots, but problems with restoration program

A warning: Though the boots will work well, I do not recommend using the company's restoration program. So far, after a couple of months, no boots returned. There are delays, of course, but that isn't a customer's problem. I have another pair that needs work, but I don't want to lose wearing them for a few months, so will look elsewhere.

Great boots. I have several pairs.

Thank you for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you have several pairs and are satisfied with them. We hope they continue to serve you well.
