Looks amazing, feels even more so. The leather is TOP quality, no scuffing and feels perfectly velvety. Comfortable on the arch and hugs foot, I went up to a 7 from my normal 6.5 and it was perfect. Not too much heel thanks to the platform, easy to walk in and a lot of ankle support so no wobbly rolling ankle feeling. Three different lace colors, all look amazing. The hardware ( hooks and zippers ) feel sturdy and I have had no real issue with them so far. Only cons, takes a moment to put on or take off because of the foot hugging fit just unzipping isn't enough. The laces are a tad fragile, sometimes the hooks can fray at laces which is sad. I love my JC Litas but the Hellbounds are hard to be beat right now.

Just got my PINK hellbounds! I love them! Soo bright! Neon/highlighter pink in person. For full review and lots of pics check my blog post: http://princesspinkglitter.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/unif-pink-hellbounds.html

I love this shoe to death, I have them in pink. I wear a 5.5/6 and I feel like the run large, I would size down if you are between sizes. They are very roomy and redonk comfy. They are very well balanced and are a conversation starter. BUY THEM ASAP, you wont regret it. I did a Vlog Post on the pink Hellbounds, google me to check it out!

Love the pink Hellbounds. BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW - in the photo they look bubblegum pink. They're not. They're neon highlighter pink.

I'm DYING to buy these babies but am a little unsure about what size to buy . . . I wear a 6.5 in JC litas (which fit perfectly) so im not sure wether to go for a 6 or 7. With that being said i'd much rather spend some time breaking a pair in than having a loose fitting boot. Do you think I could get away with a 6? Help a gal out ladies? Needless to say I am IN LOVE with this boot and can't wait to get my greedy little hands on them!!

These are like the Jeffrey Campbell Lita on speed. Thicker, higher (at least, they feel it), edgier! They have the grip on the soles, making them feel a whole lot sturdier to walk in, which says a lot because the Lita's are already pretty easy to walk in, IMO. There are only two things I can say against them, first, I was worried the lace eyelets would come off, they haven't yet, but I have come online and found some reviews where people have said that theirs have. Second, this isn't even a big deal at all, they lace up and they have a side zip but, because these are made to hug the foot, you still have to unzip AND unlace to put them on/remove them. So you can't just leave them laced up and pull the zip to take them off... But, as a whole, an amazing shoe. I can wear them for a very long time and have walked fairly big distances in them without discomfort. My favourites!

Whoever says this shoe is bad quality is DELIRIOUS! This shoe is the bigger, badder, better JC Lita. Hands down so comfortable, sturdy, strong, well made and interchangeable, the amount of comments I get while out is endless! I put my once beloved Lita's on the other day and just felt and looked wrong, Because these Hellbounds have stolen my heart. THANKYOU UNIF!! <3

Now quite frankly, I did not purchase these shoes from Solestruck because they've been sold out for I don't know how long. Does not stop this review from being helpful. I love UNIF. I respect UNIF. And god DAMN what a good looking shoe. But for one reason or another, the left heel is somehow placed incorrectly. And sort of causes me to not be able to stand with both my heel and toe flush against the ground. I can not, however, notice any real change when walking. This is of course a case by case flaw and not every shoe is like that. I own a pair in Crimson and those are just fine. I guess I'd just chalk that up to them being hand made. I'd have to say that the toe of the shoe is a bit narrow. So when walking on uneven ground (say, cobblestone) things do feel a bit precarious. The only thing that's a little annoying is that when you unzip your shoe, and take them off, the laces on the top 4 or 5 rivets never stay laced. It's pretty unavoidable. ALL those things being said, it does not change the fact that these shoes are MAJOR and BADASS and some of my most favorite shoes. When you first put them on they do feel pretty tall, but after a while it just feels like you're wearing any other chunky heel. The interchangeable laces make them look like three different pairs of shoes. And EVERYONE will want to know where you snagged these bad boys.

I wore these shoes three times and four of the lace eye rivets have fallen off. I love the way these shoes look but the quality is really bad. From now on i'll NEVER CHEAT ON JEFFREY CAMPBELL AGAIN!

If you are already sporting 3-4in heels, and walk great in them....these hellbounds will be a breeze! It feels like you're wearing a 2-3in heel but there's so much support in many different aspects. First off, it's a boot so it hugs your ankle, the heel is chunky, the ice-skate laces help customize fit, and last of all...the bottom is intensely ridged which helps combat unpaved sidewalks, hills, and slick areas. You'll just be up higher than normal, the only thing you have to learn/get used to is how much ATTENTION you'll be getting. Boys and girls will be making comments left and right. The only pain I get is very minimum and on the ball of my foot..probably because I walk too hard in them because I'm not used to the less diagonal dimensions...but this could be easily solved with small gel cushions. I hope that helps!

I have a question about how comfortable these shoes REALLY are. I know everyone has been saying they're gorgeous(I think so too), and how they are really comfortable. But I wanna know about the TRUE walkability(is that a word? lol) of them. I usually wear a 3-4 inch heel and that's manageable, but I've never worn a 6 inch. I've seen reviews that the front of the shoe is a little narrow...is this a big prob? Will I have to keep looking down as I walk? Am I gonna look like a newborn calf when I walk? Are they pretty stable once you get in some practice? I just wanna make sure before I plop down $245 for them.

I've got to say after two times of walking in them, they are ACTUALLY much MORE comfortable than JC's Lita! (Well, after I have both shoes with cushions in them) I loved these and I'm considering to buy other two colours if I've got enough money! I don't know if this review will be posted or not, but for people out there who loves Lita, you've got to buy a pair of these!

Alice

By far the best platform boots ever. They are ultra comfortable. I alwys get a thrill of when girls make a big deal of what im wearing especially shoes. I'm super short so with these I'm well over 6 foot. I ordered mine from dolls kill which is the cheapest place you can get them. I do recommend sizing down as I did and it fits perfectly. I got a 7.Even though the customs I paid was stupidly high (£60.87) i ordered the leopard ones too. These defo are the gothic sister of the Jeffrey Campbell Litas. These bad babies are defo the business?!!!!

Faith

hideous in person, tacky,poorly made not worth the price I don't know what I was thinking buy the JC litas instead unless you need something for halloween

Size 10 is perfect for me for these badasses. I totally adore these and the moment I got them, I couldn't hold any longer after 9-10 days of waiting, I unboxed the shoebox like a crazy bull no joke. I tried them on instantly as I saw them. At first they look quite small to me, I even had doubts about whether they would fit me or not. The fit me well. Perhaps too well. At that time I was so happy about them, I rate them as a pair of 5 star shoes in my mind. However, after a day of wearing them, I've got to say...something wrong with the left shoe. The slope of the left shoe somehow felt quite different to the other one. The right one felt almost as if it's almost-all-flat platform shoe, the left one didn't feel the same as much...but it's not like that much difference, just a teeny bit difference. I think I'm gonna go and buy a nice cushion for the left shoe. What a burden! :/ So far I've only wore them out once like 8-9 hours, I will wear them again tmr perhaps. http://shinayu.tumblr.com/post/18126197624/ootd-ft-unif-hellbound

Where to start with this incredible boot? The look is insane: part gaga glam rock, part sinister hiking boot, part haute couture. They are pretty monstrous and beautiful in person, but highly susceptible to gravity's insidious pull. The platform sole is a tad narrow and it's made of a soft rubber, so you really need to practice and get your walk down. But once you do, they are very comfortable, fit like gloves, and will give you celebrity attitude and altitude. The lace setup is funky because they just hook from the side, so if you loosen the laces, they will unravel completely if you are careless. The side zipper is useless when the shoe is fully laced, but if you undo the first four sets of hooks, you can pop your foot in and out. I do like the laces because they allow the boot to fit snugly, and that helps them walk better. A must-have boot for platform devotees!

you guys need to come out with size 5 for this shoe, or restock or something!! i neeeed these!! too cute!!!!

I bought these along with some other things at Karmaloop because I had a discount code, but as always, I come to Solestruck to leave reviews. This shoe is a more rugged, more intimidating, and less tired version of the Jeffrey Campbell Lita--similar slope of foot and comfort level. It's quite handsome yet awkward at the same time. They seem to have issues with quality control--my right shoe arrived completely skewed at an angle and I twisted my ankle badly the moment I stood up. (Again, I did NOT BUY THIS PAIR FROM SOLESTRUCK, they are not at fault for sending me a faulty shoe!) The leather stretched over the front platform was totally loose and saggy, not tight and glued down as on the other shoe. Disappointing, as now I have to wait for a return authorization, ship the box, and wait for it to be re-sent. I am receiving a second pair in crimson from Dolls Kill (Solestruck doesn't carry the crimson yet, but I suspect they soon will), so hopefully I can wear these soon.

Loving these! Not gonna lie I havent worn any sort of heels in ages and well Ive nearly fallen 2x in a day but I have yet to actually go down! They are a bit snug at first but the do loosen up quite a bit after a full days wear. Im an 8.5 and ordered the 9. I noticed they do scuff easily but it adds to the distressed look of the leather.

Unif, thank you a million times over for this shoe. They look like satan's hooves and I mean that in the most excited way possible. You're a monster with them on, towering 6" above normal. Comfortable for a platform, but definitely not for the faint of heart. Comes with three varieties of laces, each of which holds their own personality. You are indeed hellbound with this shoe, but you'll enjoy the ride:) THANK YOU UNIF. GO BUY THESE SHOES.
