Guess means quality:  quality leather, quality padding on the inside. . . everything.  Their shoes are sturdy and well-built.  For the money, you can't beat a Guess shoe.  This chic bootie is no different: it's comfortable and stylish.  The picture doesn't do it justice:  they rareily do on this site, for whatever reason.  This is a sexy boot that is great for cold days when peep-toes and sandles just won't do. . . .  And these aren't lacking in sex appeal.  The heels are sky-high but don't leave you feeling like you're about to fall over your own feet.  I am definatly glad I bought these, and you will be, too!
