I was really exited after reading all the reviews, especially since the price is great. I was very disappointed when I received the boots. They run very big, almost a whole size bigger partially because they are so wide. They are very snug around the ankle so they are hard to get on and off even for someone with small and narrow feet like me. The leather is nice and I love the height but the zipper is difficult to work around the ankle because it gets caught on pieces of leather around the zipper on the inside. The big disappointment for me was the rubber on the toes which looked cheap and faded, almost worn out. I definately expected better quality and "expensive" look but these boots failed to deliver. They make my feet look flat and huge but they are very comfy.
