I wanted the perfect pair of black ankle boots to wear with vintage dresses. These were the winners. They look and feel high-quality. The heel is not too high for everyday use, and the shape is feminine and flattering. The black suede with black tights or leggings lengthens the leg and allows the outfit to show to its best advantage. I also tried the Bandolino Julym, the Enzo Elysian, and the Sam Edelman Lisle if you'd like to see my reviews of the other boots I tried as well. I am a 7.5M.
