I love these boots! Yes, they are expensive but they are very nice looking and are made of a very good supple leather; they are worth the price in my estimation and they "look" the price. They are comfortable enough - i would not suggest wearing them from morning to night (all day) but they are nice for a night out or 8 hours if your wearing them to a desk job. If your used to wearing heels all the time than you may be able to rock these all day. They do not expand that much over the calf so if you have super muscular legs or just big legs these may not work for you but the leather does have a little stretch in it so you can wear them outside your pants with a skinny jean. You will receive compliments on this boot - its just that fabulous! They are my favorite boots in my closet at this time and I purchased them last winter.
