These boots look fantastic, and they feel great. The rust color is richer in person than it appears on the computer (more like the color of actual rust).  They hit just below the knee.  I was afraid that there wouldn't be very much traction on the bottom, but I haven't had any problems so far (no sliding around on the carpet or anything like that).  The boots feel warm, and I can't wait to wear them this winter -- I hope I don't slide too much when walking across icy parking lots!
