This is actually the first time ever for ordering shoes online and I am extremely pleased with these boots. Nice leather, stitching and zipper, well made and wearing in nicely. I have a wide calf so it is not easy to get boots just anywhere. These arrived and the zipper was really stiff at first. Also they were sitting in a cold UPS truck all day and I didn't really think about it, just wanted them on my feet, so I had quite the struggle getting the boots zipped up that first time. But subsequently, no issues at all and they have quickly become my go to boots for the fall season. Looking good with skirts, leggings and pants. Definitely recommend.
