The best thing about Capelli Boots is that they fit. The fitting is great and comfortable. I was a bit worried about buying size 9 when I really wear 8 1/2. I also love the shiny look. My female co-workers are all thinking about getting their own pair and they are not for rain but partying. They reach just below my knees and look great with calf length skirts or pants. Glad I bought them and they are worth the money.
