These boots are exquisite.  I consider myself to be pretty fashion forward, so I bought these boots for wearing on a normal basis.  I don't have any cosutmes to wear them with, nor any weddings to attend.  I just loved the style of boot and really wanted a pair for myself.

FIT:
- Fabulous.  I wear an 8 in any heel lower than 3.5 inches, and these fit perfectly.  I also have a slightly wider foot than normal (thought I wouldn't consider it "wide") and I was afraid these would be narrow.  Not at all!
- The calf area is a little big.  I have lean, muscular legs (from living in my stilettos) so my legs are a little smaller around than most women.  These boots have room in the calf area, even when they are laced as tight as they can go.  They are still pretty form-fitting, though.  I still love them.

STYLE:
- The lace goes all the way up the boot.  The boot goes up to mid calf.  Then, there is this miraculous ZIPPER on the inside of each boot that allows you to lace it up just once, then from that point forward- zip and you're done!  Lovely.  And it doesnt distract from the elegance of the boot.  It all looks nicely put together.
- The lace inlay is not see-through like I originally thought it was.  It is white lace over white material.  Still beautiful though.
- As much as I feared these boots would look a little "witchy" if worn with every day skirts and such, they really dont.  I even put them on with a mini skirt yesterday and some pearls, and the boots still looked fabulous.
- Color is slightly off-white.  I wouldn't say Ivory, and I wouldn't say White.

QUALITY:
- The material is a little low quality.  I'm not sure if these boots will hold up through any kind of rain, snow, etc.  But we're going to find out when I wear them as part of my shoe rotation this winter!  I'm concerned the material might start to peel after water has touched it.
- The shoe feels sturdy and I'm not afraid it'll fall apart.

SHIPPING:
- 5 out of 5.  Each boot was in it's own sleeve of plastic, stuffed with packing to keep their shape, then boxed, wrapped in shipping plastic and labeled.  I received within 5 days after ordering.
