I took a chance and bought these boots online.  It is not easy to buy shoes online, but these were fantastic.  They look so expensive and the leather is beautiful.  Details on the boots are minimal which is nice, there will not go out of fashion too quickly.  I wear with riding pants or a skirt to the office and it is really a nice look.  Comfort is a plus too.  The only thing that was a bit odd is that one calf was a bit tighter but that could be from surgery I had on my other knee where I lost some muscle.
