Wears well with skinny jeans and looks very chic. The only thing is the size runs big. I'm normally a size 8 and I had to take a size 7 1/2.

I have these boots and I love them. BUT there is NO leather or suede in the boot at all. Inside the boot it clearly says 'all man-made materials'. That is a point that might make a difference to shoppers. They are comfy, stylish and look great, but if you expecting the upper to be leather or suede be aware it isn't. It has the look of leather/suede, but isn't. :O)

I love these boots so much! They fit wonderfully. They are great with skinny jeans to show them off, or just to clomp around in under regular pants. I bought them for costume purposes, but I like them so much I wear them regularly.

I just received these and they look pretty similar to the photos. They look a little rugged, but in a good way, so they're not too chic, but not too casual. The only thing that I didn't like very much was the "suede" upper material. It doesn't look too bad, but it's very obvious the material is not suede. People have different tastes, so I don't mind the way the material looks, but others might feel it looks cheap. Other than that, they are comfortable and fashion forward. I got lots of compliments on the first day I wore them! I usually wear a 7 1/2, so I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a 7. Glad I did, because they fit perfectly, even with thick socks!

I ordered these boots, expecting that I may have to send them back after reading the reviews on here. I knew before I ordered that they were not real leather or anything, but was impressed with how they looked when they arrived. They look like fairly expensive boots and look like they are well made for the price that you pay. I have worn them for long periods of time and find them very comfortable. I have always had trouble finding boots that were not too loose on my calves and these ones are perfect. If you have smaller calves that other boots usually don't fit, you shouldn't have any trouble with these ones.

Love these boots, great fit, great style and supe comfy. However, the boot runs a bit big, I wear a size 8 but have to wear swaet sock with the boots for adequate fit. I suggest ordering a 1/2 size smaller.

I bought these boots for my teenage daughter. I am unaccustomed to purchasing shoes over the internet without trying them on in a store first.I was a little nervous about the quality and fit of the boots.When they arrived,I was a bit disappointed in the quality.My daughter tried them on and found them to be tight and very uncomfortable around her calves. My daughter is not overweight, she is a size 6 - she has nice shapely legs. My advice is to be wary of the fit if you choose to purchase these boots.

Great boots, comfortable, with a chic style. looks great with skinny jeans for fall. I bought the brown and was very happy with the coloring. My only complant is they are made of all manmade materials and scuff very easily (they scuffed for me after only two days of wear), a little brown shoe polish hid the scuff, but they don't seem as if they will last very long. my advise is go for a more expensive all genuine leather or suede riding boot, they will run you around 2 or 3 hundred dollars at the cheapest, but it is well worth it and they will last you years and years with proper care. I recommend Frye Boots, great quality, top notch leathers and suedes, and great riding boot styles.

I really liked these boots at first. they were a little cheap looking but who looks that closely at your boots anyway. I wore them often. they started to fall apart rather quickly and i finally gave up on them when the sole completely separated from the boot. Iwould not buy again, even for the low price.

I got these boots to wear with a pair of khaki skinny jeans, for that equestrian look, and they pretty much nail it. I ended up liking them so much that I wear them with black skinny jeans to work as well. They're pretty comfortable, but like others have said, they're not leather or suede and therefore don't 'breathe' as well, so it gets a little hot in the boot after a while. In the fall that wouldn't really matter as much, but this really isn't much of a summer boot for me for that reason.

These run a little big, so if you want them to fit properly, get a half size smaller. As for the top part of the boot, I have bigger than average calves (they're not large, but rather a little muscular), and they were a little snug for me. They've stretched a bit with repeated wear, so if you have muscular calves, don't worry, the fit gets better.

The only reason I took off a star for these boots is because they stain the heel of my white socks a strange bluish color, most likely the dyes from the faux fabric bleeding. First time wearing them, okay I can forgive that. But every time I wear them, they ruin my socks. Wear these with black socks!
