These boots are a good quality, but as another reviewer mentioned, beware the zipper. It seems ridiculous to fuss with a zipper purely for aesthetic, when making it functional would be just as easy and make a more widely appealing boot, but whatever. They are tall enough at the arch to be able to slip on, which is lucky, otherwise I would have returned them. They are also not as wide in the calf as I was led to believe from other reviewers, but I suppose that all depends on your personal taste and size. These just fit, and I have very curvy calves. All in all, a pretty good quality though. Very attractive and comfortable.
