I love these boots!
They look beautiful, and the leather is of really good quality.  It feels smooth and thick and sturdy.  I had been more inclined to buy a pair of flat boots, for everyday wear (I'm on my feet a lot), but these are comfortable enough to wear all day at work.  They do run about a half size big.
Most boots tend to be too big through my calves, and these fit perfectly, so they may run smaller in the calves than most.  There is a buckle at the top that you could let out if needed.  Great boots!
