This boot is nicely designed and well constructed.  Every shoe tells a little story, projects an attitude, this boot says "I'm looking for a little mischief. So you better watch out!"  The shape is pointy, but not too pointy, look carefully at all the photos, in all the colors.  The Burgundy is not too red, and looks really good with black.  You may need a half size bigger, because of the shape of the toe.  We used a shoe tree to widen the toe a little and it's fine.  There is about 3/8-inch of platform inside the boot. The insole is quite soft. My wife uses just a little arch support pad. Tight jeans and high heel boots, what could be hotter?
