I wanted a nice pair of black leather riding boots for winter and the look of these for the price I paid made the Tiptop Knee-High Boot a great choice.  They fit me perfectly and never hurt my feet during the breaking-in period.  They are not too tight in the ankles, which is nice as I've had problems with some boots becoming very uncomfortable if my ankles should swell from sitting at my desk for too long in tight boots.  They are great for keeping my feet warm and dry in the California rain and the flat rubber soles have been perfect for all the walking I have to do around town for work.  I have to walk a lot and these boots seem to be holding up really well and are quite comfortable.  I have yet to find myself with sore cold wet feet while wearing these boots.  They also look great with the buckle detail set low and back a little further that most boots I looked at.  The design is fairly classic and won't go out of style any time soon.  I am very happy with these boots!
