text: I did not order these boots from amazon, but wanted to leave a detailed review of the product anyways.<br />Pros: They are super attractive boots. Quality workmanship, stitching, and very high quality leather<br />Cons: SOOO tight, I'm a size 8.5 and ordered an 8.5 because any time I've ordered leather shoes or boots in a size 9, they're too big and slop around on my feet after 2-3 wearings. Well, I MIGHT still be alive to make it to 3 wearings with these boots, but I also might die of some sort of infection from the blisters they caused (wearing socks and just hobbling around my apartment trying to loosen them up for 2 hours) or a circulatory issue!<br />Additionally, these boots are truly mid-calf, NOT knee height. I have short legs and they hit right at the widest point of my calf muscle and are therefore not particularly flattering. The shaft is not structured so they manage to slouch down quite a bit and again, is not particularly flattering.<br />I love how the boot looks on its own, but the lack of wearability without significant effort and time and the height of them mean I will likely send them back and go with a different brand all together. They're WAY too expensive not to be perfect in every way.
