These are exactly what I was looking for, the leather is beautiful and the height is perfect (about an inch under the knee on me 5'6). I adore them. I would however, recommended watching the calf width. Amazon states they have a calf of 14.5". I'm a runner and my calves are 13.5. These boots just barely zipped and they are snug on my calves, I am hoping they'll stretch a bit so I can tuck things in. If you have bigger calves, these ARE available on various sites in wide with sizes. I bought mine elsewhere for $99, so don't pay the $188 they're listed for here on Amazon.
