Wow ! These boots are sooo hot ! The first time I wore them out,I got a lot of compliments from both male & female. They are very comfy with the platform, without it I could not have worn them.the studs on these boots are what make them stand out. Great with skinny jeans or a short skirt or dress.i wear a7.5 but did go up half a size,that was a good choice because they were a perfect fit ! The only thing I didn't like was that these boots R not real leather,they are a good pleather. Other than that they are very fashionable !
