I was looking for a pair of tall, low-heeled brown boots and had already searched our local shopping mall with no luck.  I definitely wanted leather, and I soon discoved that I would pay dearly for that at the stores I visited.  I tried on several styles in both leather and man-made materials but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.  I decided to look online the see what was available.  While I have purchased many items online over the years, I had never purchased footwear.  I always felt like shoes and boots really needed to be tried on to get the best fit.  However, I really wanted boots, and since I couldn't find any close to home, I thought I'd give it a shot.  And I am so glad I did.  I actually found these boots on a different site, but they did not have my size.  The reviews I read helped me feel confident about choosing the right size.  Most people said they run pretty true to size, and they do.  Since I really liked the fact that they were leather, a color and style that I liked, and a reasonable price, I decided to search other sites for the same boots.  I found them here in my size and believe it or not, they were even cheaper than the other site--plus free shipping! I ordered them quickly and had them at my house in less than a week.  They fit great, look great, and are exactly what I was looking for.  I've worn them with skinny jeans as well as skirts.  I really like the fact that they are not shiny and "new-looking."  The leather around the toe and heel has a distressed appearance which makes them look like you've worn them awhile but in a good way.  I couldn't be happier, and I would definitely recommend these to anyone wanting a pair of stylish, affordable, tall leather boots.
