For my first ever pair of boots I must say I made the right choice. I love everything about them, I was a bit nervous about the sizing though, but the size I ordered in relation to the heel height is perfect. They feel totally different than a pump or a sandal type shoe, they have a feel totally their own. I pulled them out of the packaging and was blown away at how sexy they are, I definitely will buy them in black and that won't end my boot purchases. I plan on a few knee high as well as thigh high styles.
