I received these boots today and I love the way they look.  The height and circumference is perfect for my petite size (5'3"). The shaft height is great considering I have shorter legs and can't wear boots with a height over 15in.  They are also great for thinner calves. I purchased them in the Whiskey color which will definitely be versatile. I haven't worn them out yet so I will have to give an update later as to how they will stand the test of time.  The only thing that kind of bothers me is the smell which is sort of like a spray paint smell....weird, I know.  I don't know if that will affect the quality over time since they do seem to be a little thin. They run true to size.  I mostly wear a size 7 but sometimes a 7.5 and the size 7 fit me perfectly.
