These are lovely boots. The height is very tall but luckily there is a pleat behind the knee that gives way when the knee bends during walking or sitting. I found my pair a bit tight in one foot and the zipper is rubbing on that foot agains the back of my foot which causes a blister. The other foot is very comfortable. So, I need to stretch and break them in. The leather is a nice color and texture and the boots appear to be sturdy and well made.
