Love them! I am wearing these boots today for the first time and I couldn't not be more pleased. I have the brown pair and am considering the taupe (you can't beat the price). I have gained a bit of weight, so my calves are no longer "skinny." I usually struggle with boots w/zippers because of this. These still fit with jeans and I have no problems with the zippers. The chocolate is rich and the fringe accent adds personality. I love fringe. I ordered the 7 and they fit true to size.
