I bought these boots in black leather for my wife who wanted boots that didn't look like riding boots, but ones that would complement her dresses and didn't have a suede finish.  The leather is soft and supple, but will not scuff too easily and is not overly shiny.  The leather finish is quite nice like a Coach purse of the past.  The style scrunches around the ankle for a unique look.  The pointed foot tip doesn't seem to be too constraining if you are a medium shoe width and is comfortable.  My wife wears US size 7.5 M shoes, and these were bought in size 8, but they fit her perfectly.  The zip is in the back which doesn't distract from the overall appearance from the sides - that is if you're walking toward someone or approaching them from an angle, you won't see the zipper, so it makes a good first impression.  The heel is not too tall, about 3" in height, and is narrow with a small surface area on the bottom.  All of this adds to the style of this boot.  Comfort, construction, fit, and finish are all top notch and of high quality.  You can probably find similar style women's boots from reputable shoe makers, but they will probably cost more.

The drawback of this boot is that it is hard to take off, but many boots are that way.
