I bought these because I really wanted a boot with little or no heel for the fall/winter months. These look nice, even though they are not real leather. They don't look cheap at all. I always worry about buying boots online because I have thick ankles, so boots can be too skinny to zip. These are true to size (I ordered a 7.5). They are snug around my calves, but I'm able to tuck my jeans into them, which is nice. My only complaint is that the shipper requires a signature for delivery, so when I ordered them with my prime account (wanted them in time for the weekend)and I wasn't home when they arrived they took the package back to Fedex and I had to wait till Monday for them to attempt delivery again. I think Amazon should override any signature requirement if a Prime account holder specifically orders them with two day delivery.
