First of all, the promptness of the delivery was amazing!
  The boots themselves are sturdy and easy-to-put-on, which was a nice surprise because sometimes I have trouble getting my high-arched feet into boots. The colour (I bought the burnt-red boots) is a little darker/smokier than the red in the photo, but still satisfyingly red as opposed to all the ox-bloods and burgundies out there in boot-land.
  I don't have any problem with them being too thick to wear under my boot-cut jeans, and they add a nice bit of casual edgieness to my long flowy skirts. I can just slip these boots on and I'm out the door.
  My only concern is that the leather is so thick and stiff that they feel a little heavy, but this only seems to bother me in the warmer weather. Hopefully they will soften with time, because otherwise they are fantastic boots!
