I got these in brown. They are a buttery-soft, thick suede. The color is beautiful and the buckles add the perfect amount of visual interest. They are a very classy over-the-knee boot and they stay up. I wear a 7.5 in most shoes and that is what I ordered. They fit true to size. The little wedge heel is perfect. I am 5'4" tall and most over-the-knee boots hit JUST above my knee. These do go up to mid-thigh. I found you can fold them in for a different slightly shorter look. I treat all my suede shoes immediately with Ugg Suede Protector and all my suede stays looking gorgeous. I highly recommend!
