I really like these boots. The gems on them are very nice and sparkly. The silver is not as silver as it looks in the picture and is more of a gun metal grey color (very muted). I wish I had more occasion to tuck my jeans in so that the sparkly could be seen as I think it is very striking. They are as comfortable as boots can be with a very stiff soul. I would order more. The size seems to fit very true.
