The distress coloring on these boots give it just a hint of style. The perfect "weathered" look to coordinate with skinny jeans or leggings. The boots are so comfortable its RIDICULOUS! I am very particular about boots and the way they fit. These boots do not gap at the top or buckle in the lower leg area. I am consistantly amazed at the Jessica Simpson line of shoes. I am not a Jessica Simpson fan by any means, but her shoes and boots are very impressive. If you are considering these boots...don't hesitate. I've sent countless pairs of boots back this season, however this pair has earned a spot in the closet!!
