These arrived in 2 days and in great packaging...no damages whatsoever!!!  The boots are in a pink box, each individually wrapped with a cheesecloth type fabric.  These fit exactly as they should...I wear a size 5 but I usually wear thicker socks so I ordered a size up and they fit absolutely PERFECT!!!!  I bought a brown pair first and I went back to order the black pair.  They zipper up the inside, the soles are not slippy and there is no heel.  The buckles are a cute addition and I think they add something to the boot.  I am 5'2" and they fit up to about an inch under my knee...there is a stretchy band on the inside of the boot if you have wider calves.  Overall I love them and would recommend them!!
