I bought the grey and was I surprised when I opened the box. The color looks more brown (tabacco) color, nowhere near grey and the only shaft lining is in the foot bed and a thin one around the top. I'm very disappointed with what I paid for them. When I pulled the shaft stuffing out the unlined leather (nowhere inside these boots is there a stamp showing their maker, style, size or that they're leather. Only the sole has the Nine West logo and size) and the color had bled all over the stuffing. Because of the odd color no way it will go with black/gray. I have been looking for a  pair of western style grey boots for a while to go with my gray suede western skirt.

Now, for the positive, I'm 5'8" tall with a 15.5" calf, shoe size 11. These boots fit with enough room to wear over jeans (worried about color bleeding). I'm glad I buy my boots larger so I suppose I could use cotton socks to protect my clothing. The shaft reached just under my knee where I like it. The toe area/footbed is very comfy and with the zipper an easy on and off. Despite the color they look sharp on. They do go with denim.  I'm giving them a 5 because of comfort and style. I might keep them but with no lining, odd color and the color bleeding I'm disappointed Amazon charged so much for them compared to the other colors ($133.30)  in the Thora style. Also, the label on the outside of the box said Avthora but it is an authentic Nine West box and the AV stands for their American Vintage line.

If anyone else out there would reply about how their boots were lined , what color you bought and if they were stamped inside I would appreciate hearing about it.

Update: I shopped several stores and found a pair in Belks.  The boots were the same,  ie no lining, etc. In store lighting the boots looked like a dark smoke color with a brownish hue. They really are a strange color but they are by far the most comfortable Nine West boots I own. Walked in them all day with no pain or foot fatigue. The color only slightly bled onto my socks so I don't see that as much of a future problem. Did get lots of compliments.  Another plus, they don't slouch down.
