I didn't give it 5 stars b/c I haven't actually worn them out for several hours yet, but I can tell you that they look and feel great straight from the box. And I was totally taking a chance by ordering these as I never order shoes online. I ordered these and black ones under a different Style Name, even though they are exactly the same (at least from what I can see) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MXJHBO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
PROS: The heel is simply PERFECT. Great height without being too high. I can definitely wear these dressed-up or dressed down for whatever. The heel is also not too thin, so they seem very comfortable. I am a true 8.5 medium width. That's what I ordered, and that's what I got. The sizing was dead-on too.
CONS: The only thing I can say is that the calf area is definitely snug. They zipped-up just fine for me with leggings, and I suspect with slim fit jeans (although I am far from being a slim fit gal!) should be fine too. But with boot cut jeans, I may have some difficulty.  My calfs are not thick, nor are they thin either. Just regular 43 yr old calfs, and it zipped up fine. But again, something to think about if you have larger calfs. If so, this is not the boot for you.  (If my review was helpful, let me know by clicking "yes" at the end of my review!)
