I was impressed with the quality of this boot - the leather is supple and thick.  Wasn't sure what to expect for the price/brand.  The reason I didn't keep these is that I found that they fit like rain boots - kinda large in the calf, and not so cute on my short legs.  But the zipper detail was fabulous and i was sad that they didn't work out.  I'm fairly petite, and that may be the reason they didn't work.
