I wanted to find boots I could wear with a casual skirt or dress for traveling. They are so cute, the look is right, and the leather is soft. However, I should have heeded other reviewers' reports that these boots are wide. In fact, they are very wide. If you have narrow feet, keep looking. If you have medium feet, you'll need to wear thick socks with these and then they still may be too big. If you have wide feet, these are a winner.
