Genuine Leather for $30?! Sure, I'll try them! I took a chance with the mixed reviews....Personally, they just didn't work out for me. I usually wear a solid 8, and they were a little snug. I'm about 5'3", 115, so they were OK for height. The calf size on boots are generally too large, so Over-the-Knee styles  don't seem to be as noticeable. I was hoping these would work out ok. Overall, they looked hideous on me, though I do appreciate the unique design. The leather does look cheap, but you get what you pay for :) That part didn't bother me as much as the overall tight foot and awkward fit.
