I bought these in gray and love them!  They fit snuggly around my calf which always seems to be an issue with knee high boots for me.  I'm not sure about the review that says they look cheap, because the gray ones look fantastic and I get lots of compliments on them.  I own 15 pairs of boots from Lucky, Harley, Fitflop, Nine West, Naughty Monkey, Liz Claiborne, etc...so I have a wide range of boots to compare and these are comfortable, good looking, and a good deal!
