These boots are very well made and elegant looking.  They look much more expensive than they are with a sleek, narrowed toe and the heel is a little more than 2.5 inches (it is much higher than how it looks in the pictures).  I ordered half a size bigger than what I usually wear and they fit perfect so I would say they probably run a bit on the small side.  Extremely comfortable.

Note:  Please see picture I took of these boots in color black leather by clicking on my name.
