The Glove Boot vs The City Boot
The City Boot is the better buy for most shoppers: it is new in box, has a steadier low block heel, and costs $99 at eBay as of November 3 versus $550 at essenthelabel.com for the Glove Boot. The Glove Boot wins only if you want a square toe, memory foam padding, and a back zipper, and you can find it near its recent low of $26.99 rather than at the $550 new price. At full price the Glove Boot is hard to justify over the City Boot.
Today the The City Boot costs $451.00 less at its best price.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for all-day wear?
- The City Boot. Its 45mm low block heel is steadier than the Glove Boot's 50mm heel, and Glove Boot buyers report little cushioning and toe rubbing over a full day.
- Is the Glove Boot worth $550?
- No, not at that price. It has sold as low as $26.99 in the past week, and the City Boot is $99 new in box. Wait for a price near the low before buying.
- Which runs truer to size?
- The City Boot, based on what is documented. Glove Boot buyers report it runs about a half size small and is narrow in the heel, so size up if you pick it.
- Which has the better rating?
- The Glove Boot, 4.7 out of 5 from 1,065 ratings versus 3.3 out of 5 from 60 for the City Boot. The Glove Boot's sample is much larger, so its score is more reliable.
- Which is better for a narrow foot?
- The City Boot. Glove Boot buyers specifically complain it is narrow in the heel and can cause blisters, while the City Boot lists an 11-inch ankle opening.
- Does either have a leather lining?
- The Glove Boot lists a 100% leather lining. The City Boot does not state its lining, and its outsole and welt are reconstituted leather.
