This boot is good looking. The leather is nice, the stitching is quality. Nice metal detail at the back. Wide heel makes for good support and comfort for a higher heeled boot. Unfortunately for me, the length and width of the boot made it an awkward fit. I planned to wear it under pants and the wide mouth of the boot pressed up against the slacks and ruined the way they hung. When I walked wearing them, the pants would progressively catch on the pants (these were boot cut pants) and ride up onto the top of the boot. It made the pants look like they were too short and generally looked awful. I read that another reviewer planned to wear it with skirts, so I thought about that since I liked the boot and got such a good deal on them on Amazon. But I am an athlete with muscular calves and slender ankles and these boots cover the slender ankle and make my calves look huge rising above the mouth of the boot. Not a pretty sight. So my quest for the perfect black cowboy boot continues.....

Oh, also, they run small and narrow so I recommend you order at least a half size up if not a full size if you have wide feet.
