I really love the shape of this boot and the height of the heel. The top area is very, very loose. The tongue of the boot is sewn on the sides, so it won't fall down or anything. The buckles are adjustable (by a small length).

I have noticed that this boot leaves a lot of scuff marks on hard wood floors. I even waited a while to see if I just needed to wear them in, but the scuff marks have continued.
