I love this boot, I bought them in the purple & black suede, and brown leather. I find it to be a very fashionable and versatile boot, that looks better in person than online. The heel is high, but the platform comfortably balances it out. I've read some reviews in which some felt the heel was too skinny, well if you are used to walking in heels like I am, this is not a problem at all. I have somewhat large calves, when I tried the boot on with leggings, the goring in the boot gave me a comfortable fit, when I tried it on with skinny jeans, I noticed a slightly tighter fit in the calves, but still comfortable. If you have very small calves, you may find you will have too much room. This is one hot, sexy boot, so I would encourage anybody to give this boot a try, this is an item in which pretty much anyone can make this boot work for them.
