I really love the bulleted Vince Cumuto boot that looks similar to this style. That being said if you know the VC brand the quality is quite nice and detailing is superb. I didn't want to pay the sale price of $175 for the VC boots. I found these as an alternatIve and was excited. Another reviewer mentioned her 20 something daughter loved them and a 16 year sophmore did as old as well.  Well that makes more sense to me now, The quality of these matches that age group. No offense to that age group but as you get older you recognize quality. The styling is good but I've seen similar quality boots for half the price at forever 21. I'm not that old...lol... I'm in my early 30's and love high fashion items to give you perspective, but these were just cheap baggy junk for $70 bucks. I'm 5'3" and they hit right at my knee. I thought they would cover my knee cap at least (I wanted over the knee) but they didn't. If these were about $35 I would have considered keeping them but I like nicer quality looking things and I've had good luck finding that before at discounts and in synthetic material boots. Not worth it at all...wait until they are priced at around 30-35 at most b/c if you pay more than that you are getting ripped off.
