Clarks Study Grade is a sensible and comfy yet cute ankle boot.  I don't adore them but desperately needed a new pair of brown work boots and these were better than a couple others I tried.  The boot shaft is a bit taller/higher than most ankle boots, FYI.  It runs a bit small as I generally wear a 6 and specifically have a 6 in two other pairs of Clarks, but I had to exchange for a 6.5 in these.  Only complaints: the heel is a bit clunkier/chunkier than I'd usually do, and the hardwear (buckle and zipper pull) are black, which seems odd on a brown boot.
