I swear I must have tried on 3 dozen boots this winter trying to find the right ones. The color is perfect and the fit is just right. (I wanted boots comfortable enough to wear all day.) My only complaint is that the ankle is much roomier than I'm used to. At first they felt like galoshes/rain boots, a little sloppy, and I almost returned them. But I decided I liked them enough to keep (the leather is stunning and the color goes with EVERYTHING), and after wearing them for 1 hour I'm SO glad I kept them. Then are so easy to pull on and off (no zipper to mess with) and not as tight and sweaty as other boots. The cuff is just snug enough to not fall down and has hidden elastic if you have larger calves.  These are great, everyday, boots that look just a bit edgy. I just wish I could wear them with a skirt...but I don't think it would work. They don't scuff easily. Love them.
