Loved this when I saw it online in the pictures but when I got it I wasn't sure...  Then my 20 yr. old daughter saw them, loved them and so I gave them a chance.  They have since grown on me.  There is plenty of room in the calf area for jeans and they look great with tights and a mini or a long skirt.  They are not a boot I would want to wear for long walking periods in the city but for any average day they are very comfortable.  The heel is high but not so much that you would feel unsteady.  The quality of this boot is great and They make you look kick-*ss as my daughter says!  Definitely get it a half size bigger, though.  It does run small.
