They're not perfect, but I like them and kept them.  A nice, classic, riding boot look.  I like the mixed suede and leather.  I ordered two sizes and kept the larger size since I like my boots to be a little roomy.  If you are on the short side, be aware that the shaft is tall.  I am 5'2" and it comes up right under my knee.  In fact, when I'm sitting, I can feel the back of the boot at the back of my knee.  If you don't like that look or feel, then this boot may not be for you.  The shaft is sturdy (doesn't slouch).  The shaft is pretty narrow as well, so probably better if your calves are on the slim side.  The back of the boot where your heel fits is stiff, so I found that my heel was rubbing some when I walked, but I put some Dr. Scholl's heel protectors on the seam inside and that worked.
