I've been looking for a pair of black knee high boots for SO LONG. I was looking for a pair that is STRAIGHT (so it won't be loose in the calf area and it won't slouch down), and preferably with a side zipper for easier wear. These are seriously the perfect fit and style I was looking for. All I wanted were black knee high boots that is SIMPLE, STRAIGHT, and SUEDE! Well I want a leather pair too hehe. But the ONLY reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the pointed part of the shoe... your toes don't reach the point at all which means they added a couple inches just for the point detail... making your feet look big!! I got this in a size 6.5 but they look like they could be a size 8 or something. So if you already have big feet, these might not be extremely flattering. OTHER THAN THAT THOUGH, I love these shoes! I've already received a handful of compliments on them!
