These boots have a neo-Victorian look about them that I really like, very stylish.  Following advice of product reviews, I bought a half-size up, and with dress socks they fit perfectly.  The wedge heel is not high at all, and comfortable to walk in all day.  I wore them all day in NYC while wearing my 2 yr old on my back in a carrier, and my feet were fine at the end of the day.

I bought these in black, and doubt there is any genuine leather, although the description claims "leather lining."  It certainly doesn't say so anywhere on the box or boot.  With this in mind, I treated them with mink oil before wearing the 1st time, and then again after wearing a 2nd time, in order to make them more supple.  As pleathers go this material is softer than usual, and looks decent.  Plus I think treating them helped make them waterproof, or at least water resistant, because I've stepped in many puddles with them and my feet have stayed dry, surprisingly.

Considering I paid under $40 for these, they're great!  If they only last through the season I'll have gotten my money's worth.
