I needed ankle boots in this color to match a handbag I recently bought.  These were a perfect color match to the bag and they are simply gorgeous boots.  But, they were a bit too small and tight in the width, and I just knew I'd never be comfortable in them.  Another problem was where the top of the boot hits the shin.  I only put these on in the house and walked around in them for less than five minutes and my shins were killing me!  No way I'd make it through half a day in these.  For me they didn't work; for someone else, they may be fine.
