I bought these boots for my daughter a few weeks ago and loved hers so much I just ordered some for me. They are high quality leather,comfortable and well made. They're well worth the price and I expect them to last for years. I have a very high instep yet have no problem getting these boots on. They hit just where the calf starts to expand so they're great for girls with larger calves as well. It's a perfect height just between knee high and ankle boots. These boots are a gorgeous tan/brown distressed leather and my daughter says they feel even better after they're worn awhile. All great quality leather eventually "molds" to the foot as it softens. These timeless classic boots will never go out of style and are perfect with jeans,shorts and dresses. I can't wait for Summer to wear them with cute Summer clothes too. Great boots well worth the money. Go ahead and treat yourself if they're tempting you. You won't be disappointed. I'm contacting the people at Frye and suggesting they make this boot in even more colors. I know I'd buy more.:)
