I have been looking for the perfect black suede knee-high boot for ages, and I am so happy to have come across this brand (Thank you Kate Middleton!) !! The price may seem high, but the boots are weatherproof and you will be able to wear them year-round, day to evening. I am a runner with muscular calves, but the thin shaft of the boot still fits and is VERY flattering. I usually wear an 8.5 but at the time only a 9 was available, and it actually fits perfectly. If you have a narrower than average foot, stick with your size, otherwise I would say try a half-size up. Even with the heel, these boots are amazingly comfortable. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and my only regret would be not getting them sooner!

I am hooked on Aquatalia boots. These were one of, if not the most expensive boots this year so I kept following them and not purchasing. I will admit that the Kate Middleton article did push me over the edge and I purchased. (She has them on with her now famous red suit.) I like the other reviewer ordered a 7.5 although my true size is a 7 (alway a 7 in a Stuart Weitzman.) Aquatalia tends to run a little short so I feel good about going a half size up. The 7 was sold out. I do have a little extra toe room in the 7.5. I wore them Saturday night for the first time, walking all around NYC -looked great and the comfort was insane. I wore them with a black pencil skirt and black tights. The reason I like this better than the Roxie is because the zipper is only on the bottom, and the top of the boot fits snug against the top of the leg which is more slimming. And if you don't like the decorative studs on the Roxie, this is a much better choice. If you are tall, these are not really a "tall" boot. I am Petite and these do not come to my knee. These might be all weather boots but don't save them for bad weather. These can be your go-to suede dress boot. Yesterday I wore them on a dry, sunny day and 2 people stopped to tell me what great boots they are!(I am over the age of 50.)

These boots are lovely.. but the size 8 US were not suitable for a size 7 aussie foot. I didn't return them however, as they're so in demand. Go the thick socks!

I normally don't write reviews but these boots are perfect!! I ordered 1/2 sized larger than what I typically wear (wear a 7 1/2 and ordered an 8) as suggested by other reviews I read. I am a runner and have calves and always have a hard time finding boots that look flattering and leg-elongating. These boots fit over my calves perfectly and the zipper on the lower part of the boot gives the boot a nice curve in under the calf. The platform makes them incredibly comfortable to walk in all day long. I would buy these boots again and highly recommend them. They are practical and look great.
