These are among the best looking boots I have ever owned. Tall, slim, great color (dark-denim navy), and a classic style that I know I'll be able to wear for years (no matter how crazy women's shoe styles get)! They needed no break-in period, they're easy to put on thanks to a nice long zipper, and they have just enough body to stay up yet flex nicely around the ankle. I would've purchased the other color but they were sold out.
