I couldn't love Miz Mooz boots more...With the sale prices I've purchased six pairs...The Toan in Whiskey is elegant and chic looking...I wear an 8 or 81/2...I bought size 9 in all the Miz Mooz boots as they need padding and thick socks.....The leather is soft and the style is fabulous....If your ankles and calves are thick and you are considering tucking your skinny jeans into this boot, you may want to consider another style as The Toan is fairly tight around the ankle...I adore the Whiskey color it looks like the photo...The three inch heel is not to bad.....The bottom may require some padding as it is a bit hard...The boot is fairly comfy for short distances...
