I saw these boots on another online store that offered overnight shipping (starts with a Z). The price was over twice the price and while it did offer free shipping, the Amazon option offered the same thing. So I chose Amazon and couldn't be happier. The boots are well made, quality leather. They come in LARGE sizes which is wonderful. They are the ultimate classic pair of high-heeled knee length boots and I cannot wait to wear them! I also love the stretchy area near the knee, but you cannot really see that panel when looking at the boots.
