The leather is really soft, so I can see what the other reviewers are saying about scuffing them up easily.  I'm going to have to be careful when I wear them.

The sole is rubber, so they're really comfortable.  They don't have arch support, so I bought some of those Super Feet dress shoe inserts (awesome, if you need arch support).  I went up one half size because I like to wear big socks with boots.  They fit perfectly with my snowboarding socks and the insoles.

I am 5'5" and they hit me right at the top of the knee.  I can fold them down to just below my knee with slightly longer dresses or wear them over the knee.  I'm thin, so the ankles are a little lose and I could see them bunching a bit around as the leather gets more worn in.

The color is beautiful.  I wanted a nice, rich brown that I can wear with black.  This is the perfect color for that!

Overall, glad I got them, but I can definitely see what the other reviewers are saying.
