I ordered these boots from a different website and payed less (about thirty).  I would not spend what amazon is asking.  They are very cheap material, but I don't think it looks that bad honestly.  The zipper is slightly unraveling right out of the box, but I don't think you can see it unless you look pretty close.  The zipper is great on the outside and they fit WONDERFULLY around my calves which are very skinny.  I always have trouble finding boots to fit my calves and most seem to make me look like I'm wearing fireman boots!  Hopefully I can find more Mia boots that are a little bit nicer in quality but still fit the same in the calf.  These boots are great for my purpose- wearing them occasionally throughout the fall and winter (maybe once a week) to work and going out.  I would not get them for an every day boot as I'm not sure they would hold up!
