These boots are very true to the photos, and a great deal at this price. If you haven't bought Steve Madden shoes before I would try on a few pairs before buying them online, because they run between a quarter-size and half-size small for me. The leather is thinner than you see on most winter or cowboy-style boots, but I love that it's easy to fold over on top. They look fantastic with knit boot socks or more bohemian outfits.
