I just rec'd these boots last week after searching for 2 months for the "perfect pair" of black leather boots.  I wanted real leather, check.  I wanted them to be close to knee-high without being too tall, check.  I wanted them to zip up, check.  I wanted them to look good with jeans or with dressier clothes, check.  I wear an 8.5 womens but am familiar with Teva running a bit big, so I ordered a half-sized smaller which ended up being perfect.  I also have flat feet and had surgery on one foot for a torn tendon (the one that holds up your arch) so good support was important.  These fit the bill in every aspect and are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.  Very lightweight but well-made and I've gotten several compliments on them.  They look great with (skinny) jeans tucked in, leggings and a cute skirt and the quality is such that I think they'll last a long while.  The only downside is that they are not lined so these are not boots that will keep your feet warm for something like sledding (not that I'd wear this type of boot for outdoor winter sports but just thought I'd mention it).  Love them!
