I love Aquatalia boots ( I must since I have 11 pair of tall boots and 8 pair of booties).  Now with that disclosure, you can see that I really mean that I love Aquatalia.  This Rhumba is a nice boot, have brown suede and black suede and anyone will appreciate this boot if you do not have an athletic calf.  Granted they will somewhat slouch at the ankle, but this is expected since the waterproof suede is soft and pliable.  This is not a stiff leather boot, so do not expect it to perform as such.  I have just ordered this same boot from England in a beautiful ruby color and also in a navy suede.  Unfortunately these colors are not available in the USA.  Aquatalia informed me that they will not carry these colors here.  A shame, but if you are interested: do a search for the HI AND DRY boot in England.  Keep in mind the postage is about $100.00 to the USA, but I think it is worth it to have this boot in those colors.
