I would describe my normal style as "romantic"- lots of florals, skirts, and lace. So I was looking for something that could give my normally sweet & innocent style a bit of an edge. I found these and thought they'd be perfect.

Well . . . they are almost perfect. With skinny jeans and floral tops, these actually do manage to do what I wanted: edge up my style a little. The shoes are also very well made and nice looking. The fake leather doesn't look cheap like it sometimes can. However, in my opinion they look clunky and awkward with skirts and shorts. So I'd only be able to wear them with about 1/2 of my outfits. Normally I'd just keep a shoe like that if there were no other problems.

But there are other problems, sadly. Firstly, they are too big. I am normally a 7, but they were out of my size so I ordered a 7 1/2. I would actually guess that these are true to size. Secondly, and I saw another reviewer say this, they are not super great for short people. I am 5'4," and these boots cut my legs off in a way that makes my hips look big and makes me look kind of . . . stumpy. The shaft is only about 9," which I knew when ordering them. I just didn't know that was gonna look so weird on me. So it is with a sad sigh that I am sending them back.

Overall I'd still recommend them to someone else. They're just not for me!
