Received today and I love them - however, I ordered the brown and they are MUCH darker than in the picture. They looked black to me when I took them out of the box. The brown color is not distressed. So I am also ordering Khaki and will decide between the two colors when they arrive.
Glad I read the reviews - I ordered a half size down and they fit great - even a little long, but if I went a full size down they would be too narrow. I highly recommend ordering half size smaller than your usual, and I have fairly wide feet.
Leather is beautiful and the height just what I wanted - right up to my knee and a bit beyond (I'm 5'6). The calf fit over the skinny jeans I have on but a bit tight - would be fine with tights or leggings, hope they stretch a bit (i'm a runner and my calves are muscular) These were a great value at $119 as compared to other websites. Snatch them up!

UPDATE: Returned the brown for the Khaki, which I much prefer. However, the Khaki were much smaller, and I had to return them for my regular size (8). Not sure why the browns ran bigger. My calves are 14" and they fit snuggly over leggings. Hope they stretch to fit over skinny jeans. They are gorgeous - and after returning the first pair, the price dropped to $97 so that was nice :)
