These are great looking boots, they fit true to size, and are comfortable to wear. I have high arches and find some boots too tight across the top of my foot,but have no problem with these. The slightly higher heel (about 1.5 inch) might take some getting used to for some, but it's not high enough to cause problems for me. I shopped the price several places, and the Amazon price was the best I found. I will see how the snake skin wears and might buy another color!
