The Laredo Kadi Boot has a good heel height, calf width, leather boot base and true sizing (91/2 M fit perfect & comfortably)but the shaft is stitched in white - not what was pictured in original online description. Also, the online picture looked like a grained leather and this boot is shiny.  Read description carefully as it also does not have a leather shaft. I will be returning for a full leather, non-shiny boot. If an offer looks to good to be true, it is.
