I am picky about my boots and haven't liked most of the suede/leather versions out this season. But these ones are really cute, and they can go both day or night.Specifics: They hit me just an inch below the knee, which I love. They also fit over my muscular calves, thanks to the zipper and the bit of elastic at the top. And while I was afraid the silver zipper on the outside would look tacky, it actually breaks up the black in a really interesting way. Finally, the hidden wedge lengthens my short legs and makes me feel like I'm wearing heels, but I can still walk the two miles to work without any footaches.I liked how they fit, very tight around the calf area, which I like. But I ordrered up from 9.5 to 10 and they were still pushing on my toes. Therefore had to return, but looked very classy.I loved the boot but it is too wide around the calf. I really wanted it to fit more snuggly around the leg. Bummed to send them back. Otherwise it is a beautiful boot.Very cute boots, fit well, EXCEPT, they are not for short people! They hit the middle of my knee, so I can hardly bend my legs. Still, couldn't bear to return them, at least not yet...Very well made but the sizing is way off the standard. The boots were very narrow from toe to heels. Had to return them.I love these boots so much and it breaks my heart to return them, but they are just way too narrow. I'd even try to keep them if I thought I could endure the pain, but right out of the box they are so uncomfortable, and they don't have a larger size for me to try. I'm absolutely heartbroken because I looked for months and months to find the perfect low-heeled, chocolate brown suede tall boot and these were it.It looks nice but for a 5.5 its small for my usual 4.5-5 size. Not gonna bother returning it though.The manufacturing of these boots was done very well but they were much too small for me and the style was not exactly what I had expected in regards to length of the shoe. They made my feet look very long. I ended up returning them.
