There are few things I love more than a beautiful boot.  These are one of my favorites.  They fit well and they are very stylish for a rough and ready boot.  I am short so it is essential that a boot stretches at the calf, which this does.  These boots are SO comfortable and are one of the few weather-proof boots that can make you look good in the rain.  If they are available next year, I will buy another pair, for sure!
