I like any shoes/boots that are super comfortable from the moment you put them on and walk. Great walking in the  city, but dressy enough too for the equestrian style. Also..I have wide calves or short legs with the wide spots in the wrong places-dpending on how you  look at it..and I usually have problems getting high boots that work. These do, but don't make my calves look big like the boots for  ladies with wide calves do. Its a goodrich brown color too.
