I was looking for a nice cognac colored knee high boot for the season when I saw these. They were on sale at a great price so I took the chance. They showed up today, and they are Gorgeous!! The banana bread is the perfect shade of cognac brown. The leather is nice and thick. I am always a size 7 and they fit perfectly. I did worry a bit (when I ordered) about the logo possibly being flashy--well no need to worry at all--they look quite expensive and elegant. I am 5'3, and the boots reach an inch or two beneath my knee. The shaft is nice and fitted on my slim calves (which is what I wanted) with just a bit of stretch. I can easily fit my skinny jeans, leggings, and just fit my bootcuts. However, if you have larger/athletic or shapely calves, do order the wide calf version of this boot. These are great and I will order another pair as a XMAS gift!
