I LOVE the feel and the look of these boots. I have skinny legs and am 5'8" tall and they are just below my knee. They are very comfortable to wear right away. The only reason I dodnt give them 5 stars is because they were a little saggy at the bottom, around the ankle. I have a pair of tall black leather boots (another brand that I ADORE, but couldn't find them in brown) and they didn't begin to bag like that until after about the third year I had them and I wear them all the time. I just wish they had (and mantained) the shap pictured
