I ordered these boots in the dark brown leather and am very pleased with my purchase.  The leather is very nice and expensive looking.  Based upon some of the other reviews, I ordered them in a half size larger which I discovered that for me personally I did not need to do.  I think that they run very true to size.  I have athletic calves and found them to be a little snug when I pulled them up over my skinny jeans, but they were fine after the first wear.  I plan to wear them with dresses, skirts and jeans.  They are super smart, stylish, and the platform wedge heel is very comfy.
