I bought these boots as a "today's deal" and they were such a good price I had to take a chance on them.  I was so glad I did!  They fit perfectly, they are really nice leather, and they are very much in style. I do a lot of walking around town, so the flat, riding boot heel is great for that.  It's always a chance to buy something on line like clothes or shoes that have to fit, but when the price is right, and returns are free, there really is no down-side.
