This boots are simple, classic, & elegant.  It's so hard to find nice, tall leather boots without all the studs and tooling and too much on them.  These are comfortable and well made.  I am not super skinny so it was a tight zip the first go round, but the leather did break in well, and I can wear them with leggings or skinny jeans.

Update: Two years in and the zipper busted.  I take really good care of my shoes.  Today I went to put them on and without warning the zipper busted.  For as much as I paid for these they should last more than two winters.  I'm really disappointed and I don't think I'll ever buy Clarks again.
