I can't believe I haven't rated these at all. If you purchased these - you are one lucky girl. Cute under pants & with skirts. I have skinny legs, so the laces are tight - which caused an excess of "string" hanging from the back, but I just tucked it under the criss-crossed strings that I just tightened. Durable boot, very well made. Fantastic brown color. I'm so glad these shoes are so sturdy b/c I would be utterly lost if they were ever subtracted from my wardrobe.
