In the beginning, did not have high expectations before I received these boots.  Apparently, after only a few days of wearing them at work- I fell in love with them!  The shaft can accommodate, jeans, leggings & jeggings.  Even though the toe is a bit narrow- the suede stretches to the shape of your foot & the footbed is extremely comfy w/ socks.  I always have to wear cushy socks with my boots. the dark brown suede color is GORGEOUS!!
I feel that I made a really good investment w/ these boots.  I highly recommend them!
