Looked forever to find a pant boot with an inside zipper that wasn't flat or to tall and that could accommodate my orthodics without "squeaking". Many are to narrow in the heel to accommodate my style orthodics. These fit the bill. Really comfortable and stylish without being so trendy they look outdated the next year.  I am ordering the boot in brown too. The local store didn't carry brown and the online price was better than the stores sale price.
