I am in LOVE with these boots!! I got the Whiskey color, and I gave them 5 stars, even though the very bottom of the zipper on one of the boots is split (not lined up together right so they are open very slightly). I am going to take them to a shoe repair tomorrow, and I am confident that it will be a super easy quick fix. The leather is uhhh-mazing!!! Sooo soft and really beautiful. It is almost making me wish away summer so I can hurry up and wear them this fall!! I am SO glad that I went a 1/2 size down (I usually wear a 7 and I went with a 6.5) Because the 6.5's fit perfectly. If you don't want to always wear big thick socks, I would recommend going a 1/2 size smaller than you usually wear. I also love that the calf circumference of the boot is not too big. I have really small calfs (A little over 12'' around) and this boot fits great. I can wear jeggings or leggings with them and the boot doesnt look like its hanging off me. I would not recommend these boots for someone who has bigger calves, because the straps on the top are purely for decoration, they are not functional. Overall these boots are worth every single penny, and if you want these, and are lucky enough to find your size, BUY THEM!!! :)
