So i ordered these yesterday and got them today (amazon prime member) and omg i absolutely love them. they are beautiful, and the design is subtle yet intricate, and the laces on the sides are super cute.  they're only there for decoration though, but i plan on changing mine out with thin satin ribbon to match my outfits so i can keep it fresh even if i wear them on a daily.

I highly recommened going up a size with these, as most other reviewers say, they do run a little snug so best bet is to go up one size.  im usually a 9 or 9.5 depending on shoe, and i ordered a 10 and its perfect, im more comfortable with thin ankle socks, but they feel great even sockless.

the buckle on the back is also a really cute detail.  its a black metal so it doesnt stick out like an eyesore, but it adds  a high end finished to the boots, and these boots, totally worth the investment.

the sole and heel are very sturdy and feels like it is built pretty solid so it will hold up to the winters here in the midwest.  for the price you can't go wrong.  I spent 40ish on a plain faux suede black pair last year that started splitting the rubber sole after several months, and weren't very water resistant.  ended up throwing them away, for $50 the quality of these boots is great.

cant wait to get some ribbons to swap out! gunna rock these all winter.
