I have to agree with the negative reviews. The photographs are deceiving. These boots are indeed slouchy. They tend to slide down to mid-calf by the end of the day even when I cinch them tightly. That said, they are comfortable boots with a low wedge heel that fit easily over almost any pair of jeans. I like them just fine, but find them too casual for professional or dressy wear. I also thought that the boot would be better made especially after reading the positive reviews. However, the suede is thin if functional (it's warm enough for me), but I was most disappointed to discover that the buckle and trim weren't constructed of real leather. The quality was far less than I expected, but the boot is fine for causal, everyday wear.
