Bought this for my teenage daughter. Wore it straight out of the box and received compliments on it immediately from her fashion-concious friends. Great fit and comfortable. Super well made and just all around gorgeous. Great, great , great boot.
These had everything I wanted in my search for an edgy urban looking short boot: the side zipper, longer laces that can wrap all of the way around, and they are roomy enough for you to wear a thicker sock with. I had trouble picking the color but decided the red-wine color was the most unique. I really like pairing that wine color with a neutral dress or pants and top.
These boots hold up well under normal wear and tear. My girls each have a pair in black and wear them almost daily. We find them a little wide, but we have very narrow feet. My girls wear size 7 in most boots/shoes, these were no exception.
