I don't usually read customer reviews, but before I purchased these boots, I did.  The reviews were right.  These are beautiful boots.  I have a very high arch and was concerned about getting my foot into the boot, so ordered 1/2 size larger.  From the moment I opened the box I thought quality.  They look a feel beautiful and the sole of the boot is high-end, not the cheap plastic that you see on a lot of items.  They slid on like a glove and are just roomy enough to also wear a thicker sock, if desired.  The insole is very cushiony.  I am very satisfied with this purchase.
