I love these boots and I've received so many complements since I started wearing them about a month ago. I bought them because I was looking for a casual boot that I could wear when I walk my son to school as well as dress up with a cute casual dress. Comfort was key. These fit the bill on both accounts! I agree that they look a little funny folded over because the part that folds does not lay flat. I wear them with the flap up and they look great! It's hard to tell from the picture, but they are a little slouchy and aren't as stiff as they appear to be in the photo. I sometimes wear a 10 and sometimes an 11 and I got these in an 11. I have narrow feet and have no issues with comfort. In fact, they are the most comfortable boots that I own. I really like the rubber sole.
