Beautiful color, great construction, and comfortable on my runners' calves. The sizing is a little strange, with 8 being way too small and 8.5 just slightly too large-the heel slip was as expected, but the instep was a tad wide (and I know it will stretch, so that's not great) and the boot hit my ankles when I walked--I'd need to use very thick socks to help stretch that out, and THAT would make the foot box way too big eventually.

The biggest disappointment is that though I actually like a somewhat pointy toe, this was WAY pointy. It didn't look that pointy in the picture. Now I'm not sure how to judge other boots, as I don't want a stubby toe either. Disappointed about that!
