These Naughty Monkey people are NOT kidding about thigh high!  I am 5'7" and these were TOO high on my leg, making the fattest part of my thigh the visible part. :-( Yeah, I know that my thigh fat isn't the boot maker's fault!  LOL The suede is very good quality; thick and soft and the boot is very comfortable on your foot, VERY true to size and not pinching your toes at all (pretty rare for my wide feet!)  The heel is just right for walking around all day, not too high (about 3"), yet totally freakin' stylish.  However, the placement of the highest buckle was placed right where my knee bent, making it slightly uncomfortable in that respect.  The good news: I also bought a pair of boots in the Naughty Monkey "JUGGS" style (same price) and found them to be more comfortable when walking and they also rest a little lower on the leg to get some of the skinnier part of your thigh to show. They are both absolutely great boots for 51.98 and DEFINITELY the nicest boots I have ever purchased.  I think off all the crappy 39.99 vinyl ones I have purchased over the years from the mall and wish I knew about these sooner. I will be buying Naughty Monkey from now on (whenever they are on sale!) I would say these boots ARE worth 120-130 bucks if you aren't on a budget.
