I've been searching high and low for boots like these for 2 years- I didn't want to settle for something I might wear once and be tired of. Found these on Amazon and thought they looked cute so I purchased them, and they were delivered 2 days later. Pulled them out of the box and was immeadiately impressed with the quality of them, then tried them on and they fit soo nice! Beautiful boots! I'm 5'4, thin and have short legs- the shaft is just the right length, if they were any taller at all they would bother my legs when sitting. The heel height is perfect to walk on- definitely not too tall. Anyway, you won't go wrong!
