The boots are the perfect height for accentuating skinny legs. Hits me right at the widest part of my calf, and the buckle serves double duty as a good way to keep laces out of the way, and adding bulk for a shapely looking leg. The material is pliable and soft, and the inside is lined with plushy fabric. The inside zipper makes getting them on and off quickly a breeze. The ankle fits nice and tight and isn't as wide and bulky as most of the boots I've tried on. The only complaint I have is the stitching on the boot is shown yellow in the photo, like Doc Martens, but the actual boots have grey stitching on the bottom, the same color as the stitching on the rest of the boots. The sole doesn't have much arch support, but a pair of inserts easily fix that. Runs true to size, slightly on the larger size since I wear a 6 or 6 1/2, and the 6 fits me perfectly. The shape, material, and lining make these the best boots I've owned so far. I love them!
