FINALLY, I'M ECSTATIC about getting foot wear that fits well and looks great!!! I've bought so many other shoes and boots online that I've hated, that don't fit well, or the material it's made of is awful. These are leather, and they feel like leather. I got them at a good price, because the brown ones were on sale and cost about $45, unlike the other colors or sizes. I guess it was because it's almost summer, and the boots are usually worn in the fall or winter.  What a great deal I got! The boots felt comfortable right away. I also have to thank the customers who bought the boots and answered my questions about the soles. I cannot fall without breaking something, so I wanted to make sure the soles weren't slippery. These wonderful women said the soles were NOT slippery, but that they weren't quite rugged enough for snow or ice. They were right. Amazon's customers are so great in answering questions quickly, so please use that option before you buy.
