Leather was too heavy,  toe too rounded, calf too big, not the sleek appearance as in the photo. I was looking for a boot to wear in ski country with a great traction bottom made with a rubber sole, but want to be able to go out to dinner in a skirt and tights with boots, these just did not fit the appearance I was looking for.  True to size, but I have a 13 in. calf and these were way too roomy.
