I am in love with these boots. Not only they're really cute (i always get complements now) but also very comfortable. No break in required at all (probably for the 1st time in my life). No blisters, nothing. The leather is very soft. And they're actually pretty warm. California winter is obviously not very harsh, but my feet are always cold. not in these boots. The little platform heel feels good and the sole has a good grip.

the only thing is the size - i am glad i tried these on in a store. I usually wear size 7, 7.5, but these i had to get in 8, so take that into account.
would i recommend - definitely!
