This is a beautiful boot after it is worn for a period of time.  The two tone looks a bit strange but you get used to it and the lighter leather wears into a darker color.  You can use shoe polish & darken up the lighter tan if you like.  The pad in the footbed is nice & soft.  It is a warm boot.  It fits true to size but if you like thick socks you should go up a half size.  The quality is very good.  This is a boot that will last for years!  The heel is a perfect walking-all-day height.  The shaft fits neatly into a boot-cut jean or with leggings & skinny jeans.  It is hip but not overly so & I recommend it for women of ALL ages.
