I got these from an open box deal here on Amazon. They are too expensive for my liking but the deal made it worth it. I don't normally buy Toms but I loved how these boots looked. The bootie is black suede with a black/grey wool heel. They are comfortable for extended wear. Initially, they were a bit stiff but they have worn well since then. I am used to wearing a heeled booty so the low heel on these was a change. My feet thank me for it. Ankle socks do peek out a bit so I would suggest a lower sock. I bought my normal size (10) and they fit just right.
