I was uncertain about the pinot colour and that it may not match with much or that the general look of it would look tacky but the boots actually look classy and are sturdy. The inside has a pretty print + the emblem and faux buttons dress it up nicely. I am 5'0" and they are knee high, I like how the top is cut just right to accomodate for bent knees without feeling like the boots are cutting into my skin! I am petite and have slim legs so I do feel like the shaft could be narrower - plenty of space for skinny jeans. Pleasantly surprised, fell in love with them, especially considering the price (I believe they are from last year's stock).
