Just got these LifeStride Adriana booties in black (size 9 wide) and I'm obsessed! Wore them right out of the box—no breaking in needed. The heel height is perfect for all-day wear, and that braided strap detail? Chef's kiss.

The zipper placement on the inner side is genius—no awkward ankle bulges. They’re surprisingly versatile too; dressed them down with jeans and dressed up with a midi skirt. For the price? Way nicer than expected!

PSA for wide-foot folks: The wide width is roomy enough for thick winter socks. Only gripe? The pointed toe might bother some (I sized up + got wide width just to be safe). Overall? 10/10 would recommend for transitional weather!
