I own several pairs of Bandolino shoes and boots.  I've kept every single purchase except the Joselyns.  The boots are a tad too high for me.  With all the walking at work I need to do plus to walk from the parking garage to my office, a shoe with 2 1/2 heel is optimal.  The boots are also little narrower than my other pairs (I wear a 7 1/2 M) so they  pinched my toes.  This is also not real leather and the quality, or lack thereof, shows.
