Tried on this bootie in an outlet store and the quality of the leather is good but the bootie feels super high. Not a great shoe for all day wear. If you love really high heels you'll love these. Also the brown leather has some red tones in it. The quality of the brown leather looks richer than the black. They run a half size large esp if you have slim ankles. I didn't purchase these but as I mentioned earlier a lady who loves super high heels would appreciate these.
