First - The drawback. The color shown on the picture is definitely lighter than the actual boots. They are not a cream color like the picture, they are light brown. Luckily for me, this did not matter, and they are still gorgeous.

Second - Order a size up. I am a size 9 or 9 1/2, and ordered a size 10. They will be much more comfortable when you go a size up, but this is typically true of heeled boots.

These are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. I was quite surprised at the quality and comfort. They are the highest boots I've owned (yes, a platform, but nonetheless they are tall just with the heel.) I am already 5'10'', and these boots put me at about 6'4''!!! They are awesome, and if you are shorter, they will add some serious height!

The suede is great quality, the stitching is also pretty good. But again, the comfort is what has sold me on purchasing other Michael Antonio boots. I have many pairs of boots from various brands. These are the best so far. Of course, I have not ordered the more "designer" boots, so I cannot compare these to the $150+ boots listed on Amazon.
