These are beautiful boots - the color is much nicer in person; the Amazon pic makes them look orangish but they are actually a distressed lighter brown. Leather is nice and soft. This fit for me is off however, I'm a runner and have 15" calves. They fit fine with leggings but I wanted something I could tuck skinny jeans into and they won't work for this. I also don't like the weird ankle zipper - it either shouldn't be there at all, or should go all the way up, the ankles DO bunch up a bit on me. I'm returning for another style.
