These are super-comfy heeled boots. The styling takes hints from a cowboy boot (slightly pointed toe, stacked heel, curved at the top), but have a much more modern and sleek look. I have 15" circumference calves, so it's sometimes difficult to find the right pair of below-knee boots. At first these were a bit awkward to zip since the zipper is in the back, but once I wore them a couple of times, they stretched slightly, and were much easier to zip up. I'm 5'6", and the height of these boots are perfect, falling just below the knee.
