I absolutely love these boots. They are true to size (I am a solid 8 12), comfortable from the beginning (I used them for a whole day for the first time with no issues at all), they look great with both a skirt and skinny jeans, and the leather seems to be of good quality and it has a great, rich color. If anything, I would have preferred them to be tighter on my calves, or to be able to adjust the fit as needed. At the sale price, they were a steal. I am delighted with them! I wish they still had the same price on other colors.
