Mostly just what I was looking for...
By Allie
This boot arrived VERY quickly, which was the first big plus - shipping took less than two days (ordered Saturday night and arrived on Monday afternoon.). I have been looking for a riding boot for almost two years, but had something very specific in mind, so haven't found anything that satisfies what I wanted. Then I found these. All-in-all I'm very pleased.
The pros: The shaft height is exactly what I wanted, and the boots come up to just below my knee; the leather is pretty nice (but I wouldn't have thought so for the full price of $250); the khaki color is great and looks nicely distressed; there is a finger hook in the back to help get the boots all the way up on your calf (since the zipper is only a half zipper at the bottom and the upper half does not open).
The cons: the shoes are a little narrow, but otherwise I think they fit true to size (I have seen these reviewed as being a half size larger, but I disagree completely); because they are slightly narrow, when I first put them on and zipped one foot up quickly, the zipper didn't catch and I had to force it back down and re-zip carefully (I expect this will be the case for the first few wears until the leather stretches); the two upper buckles are not functioning.

I am still going back and forth about these boots. I ordered the black when they were 60% off, so that was worth it in itself. They are just gorgeous boots! I am 6' tall and they reach the bottom of my knee, which is a small miracle in itself. My foot is average width and I wear an 11, so that is what I ordered. Length wise they have a little room which is great, but any narrower and I wouldn't be able to wear them! They fit perfect over my skinny jeans and I'm going to wear them tomorrow for the day to see how that goes. The only thing that is driving me slightly bonkers is the toe/foot area is noticeably different then the rest of the boot. It is shiny and hard through out the foot area while the rest of the leather is more matte, soft, and oh so perfect. I have yet to determine if it is going to get to me or not. I originally wanted the brown boot but the price jumped up the day I ordered.... I'm left wondering if the brown and khaki do the same? All in all, if your tall and want a boot that goes up to your knee then GET THIS ONE! :D

I really love the look of these boots. They do run a little large, so I ordered accordingly (I either wear 8.5 or 9, so I ordered 8.5). The boots are tall enough...just below my knee; I love the distressed look of the leather, and the light brown color. There are two zippers, one on the inside that is functional, and one on the outside that is just for looks. The lining is soft,almost fuzzy, but thin. They are also comfortable enough to wear all day. The ONE thing I was not impressed with, is that the leather is kind of thin. I don't think you can tell this by looking at them, but when you feel them you can. I decided to keep them because I love everything else about them and had been looking for a boot of this style and color for so long. After wearing them several times, I don't see any problems with the leather, and am glad I kept them. Overall, I love them!!
