these are a great pair of boots.  they are comfy and i got a ton of compliments on them.  i usually wear a 7 in madden girl shoes, but ordered the 7.5 in these and they fit perfect.  the only reason for the 4 stars is that they look like 5 star quality, but they have a very thin lining and cheap material.  i live in phoenix, so these are more for style than utility.  i really do love them, though.
