I just received my boots and they look amazing! I ordered the brown color and it is exactly same as pictured. The leather is very soft and the quality is excellent for the price. I've seen the exact same boots for over $200 dollars on other online shoe stores. I knew I had to get this one from amazon when I saw the price ;-) My calf circumference is 13.5". Most boots fit me too large around the calf area. And these boots are still a little too wide for me but nothing I can't fix. I made an extra hole in two upper belts and made the shaft narrower. I folded the extra leather along the seam where the buckles are and they look perfect! I can't wait to wear these!!
