I RECEIVED MY BOOTS TWO DAYS AGO. I WAS SO EAGER TO PURCHASE THESE BOOTS. WHEN I OPENED THE BOX (NICE BOX W/PINK SATIN RIBBONS), I WAS EXCITED. THIS IS A NICE PAIR OF BOOTS. THEY ARE JUST AS THEY APPEAR ON THE SITE. NICE SMOOTH LEATHER W/A TOUCH OF PATENT LEATHER TO TOP IT OFF. NOT THAT YOU WILL BE WALKING ON A CLEAR GROUND BUT THE FUSHIA/PINK SOLE TOPS IT OFF WITH A FEMININE TOUCH OF CLASS...NOW TO DESCRIBE THE BOOT. I WANT TO LIKE THESE BOOTS SOOOO DESPERATELY, THE ONLY BAD THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THESE BOOTS ARE, THE CALF AREA OF THE BOOT HAS TOO MUCH SPACE AVAILABLE FOR MY LEGS. I HAVE A NICE SET OF CALVES FOR MY BODY BUT THE CALF AREA IN THESE BOOTS ARE FOR WOMEN WITH SIZABLE CALVES...THESE BOOTS ARE TRUE TO SIZE, MAYBE IF I CAN FIND A SHOE STORE AND HAVE THEM TIGHTEN UP THE CALF AREA THE BOOTS WILL FIT PERFECTLY(SNUGGLY). OTHER THAN THAT, I GIVE THESE BOOTS A RATE OF A FOUR(4) JUST BECAUSE OF THE CALF AREA. I RECOMMEND THESE BOOTS TO OTHERS. ONE MORE THING, THE HEELS ARE RATHER HIGH, ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU ARE A HEEL WEARER YOU WILL DO JUST FINE. I LOVE MY HIGH HEELS AND MAYBE I CAN WEAR MY BOOTS IN THE BEDROOM JUST AS THE OTHER CUSTOMER STATED. HAPPY STRUTEN' YOUR STUFF:)
