I was really hoping these would be versatile enough to wear with a black business suit as well as occasionally with less formal outfits. I asked my husband to get these for me for Christmas and he delivered. Loved the look of them online and had a great perception of the brand based on my prior Frye Veronica boot purchase.

Unfortunately, these are not the boots for me. They flare up at the top (right at the knee level) and they're very loose in the calves (disclaimer: I have slim calves for a size 10). I was on the fence about them and asked my BFF for her honest opinion. She said they looked nice if "you're going for a swarthy she-pirate look" which I am definitely NOT. They kind of reminded us of the "Pretty Woman" boots that Julia Roberts wore, except not thigh-high.

Anyway, they're going back this week. Hoping for better results with the Rory Scrunch boot.
