I found these boots at a local shop for $280 and fell in love with them. I was so happy when I found them on Amazon for so much less! They are exactly what I was looking for and just had to have them. They are very flattering and slimming and look GREAT with jeans tucked in, which is something I don't normally do. I bought the black and there is no hint of a biker feel. They look classy and great with skirts too. The toe is just right, not pointy and not square. They are taller than I've had and shape the calf nicely. With proper cleaning and protection from moisture (silicon), I intend to wear them for years and years. I'm very happy with them!
