I frickin' love these boots!  I'm wearing them right now.  I caught them on sale around the holidays, and for the price I paid, I never expected them to be as nice as they are.  They are faux suede, I was aware of that when I bought them, but the fabric that they are made of is good quality.  I have worn these at least three times a week since I took them out of the box.  One day I walked about two miles in snow.  They still look great, even in the toes.  The nicely done, fuzzy lining inside thoroughly surprised me when I got these in person.  I was equally delighted with the phone and card pockets on the inside of the right boot.  I hadn't noticed those features in the listing.  They have a small (maybe 1/2-3/4") wedge, but they are still very comfortable.  Generally speaking, my shoe size is an8 1/2- 9.  I ordered a 9 in these and they fit well, but I can comfortably wear heavy boot socks with them in cold weather.  In summation, these are my new favorite boots, and I will look for more from this brand.
