These boots exceeded my expectations. The leather is beautiful and they are well made. The tops are very narrow so if you have large calves, these are not going to work. They fit me well but with no room to spare. They fit a bit tight on my feet initially but after wearing for a few hours they were perfect. I have had several people ask me about them and compliment how nice they look.  I liked them so much I ordered them in brown too! Love them!
