my friends call these my "pirate boots" :) they are very cute on. the quality isn't like real leather obviously but for the price they are very good boots. the heel is the perfect height and one of my friends has bigger calves and she usually has a hard time finding boots that she can wear. these fit her no problem. that being said my one problem with these boots is that i wish the straps were more adjustable so that people with smaller calves could tighten the fit a little more. the straps adjust to a certain point which is fine for when i wear them over jeans but with a skirt i feel like i am pulling them up throughout the day. but as i said before they do look really cute on!
