So far the shoes are a five-star I have not worn them yet. I've only  tried them on  because it is too hot to wear them right now where I live.  In the last two photos you can see all the pockets. I thought there was only going to be one single pocket in one boot not both of them! So I'm extremely happy!!  You can easily hold two large cell phones ID credit cards even lipsticks!  I wear a size 8 to an 8 1/2 I ordered the size 8 because I read that the  calves can be big if you're skinny.  I have narrow feet and the heel of the boot seems to be a little big but that's OK because when I wear my wool socks  during the winter and those are really thick.  I have to wear a 34 inch inseam I'm very tall and skinny and the size 8 fit perfectly for me there still a little bit room in the legs but not too much where it's awkward. So far I would highly recommend these boots they seem very comfortable and cute also functional.
