I was really wanting a different style of Franco Sarto boots but found these and thought they'd be a good replacement to what I really wanted.  They're so great though.  I see what everyone was saying about Franco Sarto boots.  I have funky feet (my arches get sore quickly and bunnionettes) so I rarely wear shoes without an arch support.  They're narrow enough that they still look sleek but not so narrow that it bothers my bunnionettes.  There's not enough room in it to fit my inserts so I go without but I've gone all day in them without my feet hurting.  The go on easily and the shaft is just big enough to go over my skinny jeans comfortably.  The leather was wonderful and I think the color was pretty true to the picture.
