Update: I discovered that wearing these boots stains your the bottom of knee highs or socks with a pink tint.  Either wear red or black colors with them or be warned.  I washed my tan knee highs and the tint did not wash out completely.  These boots are not made of any leather that I've experienced in shoes.  It is stiff and hard yet thin with a semi-shiny sheen.  They look thinner in the leg to ankle portion (in the pix) than they really are.  You will get a chunky look with them.  Also, the "chaps" portions comes down over the foot portion more (for a size 7.5) so only 1/2 of your foot is showing.  The Pix may show a size 10 boot so the foot part sticks out more.  I liked them in the pix better than in person.  I tried them on and no complaints since they fit true to size with ample room for my wider calves but overall is a low end-seeming boot.  Different though.
