I originally wanted the gray, but because of peoples' reviews I chose the black, and they do make your legs look really long and slim in skinny jeans! The large boot opening almost adds to the look on skinny jeans, but I did not think it looked right at all in a dress, though I am a bit bow-legged in the calf, and I think I don't like it because it accentuates that feature as opposed to diminishing it, which a slightly higher (to lower calf), and more fitted ankle boot does. They look ok with boot leg and flare jeans too but hide the slouchy detail, but the almond shape of the toe is so sexy that it makes it doable. I ordered the 9.5 and they were just a tiny bit big so I wished I ordered a 9 since it's really hard to find a sock low enough to wear with them, especially since the front dips so low. All in all, I will keep them, and love them with my skinnies, however, I was hoping to be able to wear them with more.
