Was looking for a low-heeled casual ankle boot to wear with jeans that is comfortable and not over-styled. This boot is *it* in spades. Good price for a well tailored shoe. Some reviews I had read quibble with the leather being 'cheap' but I disagree. It is not smooth if that is what you are after. The grained finish makes it just that much more casual. I can tell they will be my go-to boot for the season!
