Appearance
I just got mine, and I am extremely excited about wearing them tomorrow! I needed them to complement my teaching wardrobe (a grey pencil skirt, to be more precise), and to keep me warm on winter skirt-days. I am 27, so I think the style is both elegant and young looking enough.

Color and Material
They look just like in the picture. They are somewhere between black and charcoal grey, and the accents are light grey, so they work both with outfits that require black, and with ones that require grey. The faux leather is nice, and realistic, I would say they look more expensive than they actually are. The inside is lined with a black fabric that keeps my legs warm.

Fit
I have narrow feet, and fairly small calves, so they fit me perfectly. I normally wear U.S. size 8, so that's what I ordered this time as well, and I didn't regret it. They fit comfortably with tights, and they even fit with thick winter socks, but not as comfortably, though. The 14 inch circumference works perfectly for me, I can wear them with jeans without any problems, and they are not too loose with tights either. They hit 1 inch under my knee cap (I am 5 foot 6).

Heels & Traction
The traction is great. My only concern were the heels, and yes, they are as steep as they look in the picture, so I added a little cushioning. I only need them for the few hours of teaching anyway, after which I can switch to something more comfortable, so I'm going to keep them.
