This is an attractive boot and looks good worn up or cuffed.  The suede is a rich dark black.  The fur lining is fluffy and very warm.  I didn't rate it 5 stars because I feel the sizing is off.  The boot runs at least a 1/2 to a full size small.  Usually I wear an 8 or 8.5 depending on the shoe.  I ordered a 9 in this boot and it is barely long enough.  I would think a person who always wears a 9 might consider sizing up.  Also, the boots are comfortable enough but there isn't much arch support.  I will probably use inserts if I'm going to be on my feet all day.
