I adore these boots so much that I purchased a second pair a few months after the first! What everyone is saying is correct, when you order the dark brown, that is not what you get. When mine arrived, they were a much lighter brown with some variation. Luckily, I ended up loving the color despite it being totally different than the picture. These are heavy, sturdy boots and my feet feel great after wearing them all day. They have a nice wide opening in the calf, plenty of room for my skinny jeans with room to spare. The brown leather is thicker and higher quality than the Navy leather in the 2nd pair I bought, but I still like the navy and they are holding up well after a few months of heavy use.
I adore these boots and plan to get another pair next year. They're all I want to wear these days!
