Don't get confused by looking at the picture of these boots and reading the awesome reviews.  I was excited for them to arrive only to be near-tears disappointed when these ugly little pirate boots came out of the box. Beware the picture gals; these babies slouch to the ankle and are way too casual for work...unless you're a bartender.  And despite being called "tall" they actually reach only mid-calf.  The suede is papery-thin and the black shows every itty-bitty scuff. They are comfortable though, but so trashy looking, it'd be embarrassing to be seen in them. Guess I'll use them for next year's sexy pirate Halloween costume. Arrh!  What a disappointment.
