This boot is a good value in my book.  I had seen this boot at a large department store, but the department store could not get the boot in my size.  Therefore, I searched for the boot online and was pleased to find that Amazon's price was about 20% lower than the department stores's sale price(I paid $79.99).  Shipping was timely.  I have slightly larger than average calves for my shoe size and was pleased to find the material is stretchy and comfortable.  The size of the heel is also what I was looking for.  I wear these boots with jeans as well as skirts and dresses and wear them for plenty of walking.
