These were shipped very fast, they arrived ahead of the delivery estimate, even in the month of December. I love the boots, the shade of gray is very nice, and so is the contrast stitching. I noticed several reviews that said they ran small, so I ordered a half size up, and the fit is perfect, so I do recommend ordering up. Some reveiwers also said that the tassels on the boots were wrinkled, but the ones on mine are straight. I am very happy with the boots, and will buy from seller again, and recommend them to others.
