I love boots and seem to be buying a new pair every week. I just got these 3 days ago and I've been wearing them everyday. I ripped them out of the box and took off my nine west pair and put these on. I went to the mall to do some christmas shopping and THE COMPLIMENTS! I don't think I got some many compliments on my wedding day. They are very distressed but that what makes them unique. I listened to the reviews and ordered a 7 instead of my normal 7.5 and they fit perfect. I love that this is a look that isn't in every shoe store but it is still great quality. The sole is slippery until you wear it for 10 minutes and they scuff up and are totally normal.
