"I have been waiting and looking for boots like these for two season and I found them in the middle of the summer on sale! These are exactly what I wanted (straight top, brown leather, small buckle detail, comfortable, neutral) These boots fit all the criteria. You can dress up or down and wear with pants or skirts. I will say the calves run a bit small but I am hoping they will stretch out a tad after wearing them for a few weeks. Get these boots, you won't regret it!"
