I didn't expect these shoes to be very good looking. But I was surprised when I opened the box! I love the almond shape toe. I love the shape. Not bulky or too masculine, which chelsea boots can be sometimes. Yes the leather is not premium quality leather. But duh! They are $50+ shoes. I think they are fabulous for the price. I'm just hoping the color on the heal would not chip quickly. That happens to some lower end shoes a lot. But I have faith in them. In terms of fitting, I think they are true to size. They look narrow in the picture, so I did order half size up. If you are concerned with the width too, then size up. Overall, I love these!
