First, the positives: the price is great, the fit is true, the materials (while certainly not "luxe") are fine & the construction is decent. You could easily pay more for this boot in a store or on other shoe sites.

The nice thing about the style is that it's very simple & there's not much embellishment where cheap manufacturing would show. The bad thing about the style is the super-pointy toe area. I'm a size 8.5 and I really don't like how elongated my feet look, rather "witchy." In fact, my dude assumed these were for a Halloween costume when I pulled them from the box. (granted, it's the end of October but still...)

Not sure I'll get a lot of wear outta these, will give 'em a whirl but I have a feeling my hunt for a sleek, mid-heeled boot for this season will continue.
