I found these in the Nine West store at the mall and didn't purchase them but I loved them. I could not stop thinking about how comfortable and flattering these boots were on me in the store. I went back to the store to purchase and they were out of black. I ordered these on Amazon like I do so many other things and have not been dissappointed. These are the exact same boots I tried on in the store! I love how soft and comfortable they are. They have a wedge heel, but it doesn't feel like a heel at all (I am not a fan of uncomfortable heels). I love these boots. I get compliments every time I wear them. They are very soft. I would recommend a suede water protector spray in case they get a little wet. The tops are to the middle of the knee and fold down a little bit if you want them to. Very cool. My favorite winter boots this year! (And last!)
