i am completely in love with this boot--i had to order them in black as well. very well made--even the shoe salesman at macys complemented me on what a nice boot it was and how well made. i get tons of comments on these boots and i have only had them a week. much better then anything i found in macys, dsw, tjmaxx, marshalls and any other store. i have been looking for a long time and these are worth every penny.
