Someone said these boots were not leather.  They are, says so right inside them.  Feels and looks like beautiful suede.  The heel is perfect size, not too tall.  Gladly, my husband said they do not look like "hooker boots", which I agree.  Another review mentioned they were too tight on the calves to fit over skinny jeans.  Not so, they adjust to 3 different sizes with the buckles you see on the top.  I really like that option because they were too big at the top and had that pirate boot look. Upon adjustment they are just right.  The stitching isn't straight on all of the seams, but it is hard to notice with the black color.  I think they are just perfect and comfortable too.  I love them and think they are good quality at a good price.
