I love the style and design of this boot. Many compliments every time I wear them.
- Others have said the sole is "hard as concrete", not so. While the sole may be firm, it does have a little give which is better on my knees.
- Others have said the leather is thick and hard. This leather is firm and a little rigid, but I have worn them 3 times now and is has softened up where is moves the most.
- Others have said this boot runs small in the foot area and to size up. I have several other Miz Mooz boots and shoes and while I have had to size up on some cute little shoes, NOT SO with these. I am a size 7.5- 38 in Euro sizes- and I went up to a 39 based on reviews. I wish I had NOT done that because it is long in the foot on me.
- Others have said the foot bed has no support, is flat and uncomfortable. That is so. It is flat and I did add a cushiony support on my second time wearing them and it helped quite a bit.
- The shaft is NOT KNEE HIGH. It comes to mid calf on me on a short day. I am only 5'5 1/2'' tall.
- The shaft is narrower in proportion to the foot bed length. Again, I have worn these a few times and the leather seems to be giving just a little while maintaining integrity.

Overall, they are pretty Ok for the sale price. I just need to get a better size for my feet to be truly comfortable.
