"Very nice, mid-heel boot! Dressy enough to finish an outfit, and fun enough to add some interest to a basic outfit. I bought these at my local DSW for a dinner out at a friends new restaurant, but before I could even put them on, my 16y.o daughter found them and asked to wear them. She loved them for the buckle, and thought they were very comfortable. Comfort IS relative, which they are. However, if you are standing on your feet for several hours straight, I'd suggest adding a little insert for the ball of your foot. I usually wear a 7.5 in a boot and these fit me perfectly, (unfortunately, they also fit two of my daughters as well)."

loved the boots.....but they run very narrow.
"First, I love Old Gringo boots. I was shopping in boulder and found the $385 version of these boots. The ones in the boutique were exactly the same as these. They had same turquoise stitching, same pointed toe , same quality leather, the only exception was the more expensive ones had a ton more stitching. For an over the top pair of boots, I could live with less stitching! These boots are a steal and I love them. The only down side is ( and the reason I gave them four stars is)... they run very very narrow. I literally, have to wear the thinnest socks. Normally, I wear shoes in the 7-7.5 range and my foot and ankles are slim. I purchased a 7 B, and the length is perfect, its just a very snug fit on the sides of my feet. I am keeping them because all my daughters wear the same size, and these are without a doubt rock star cowgirl boots!"

Love these so much, we bought all three colors
"I have three girls, ages 14, 16, 17 and we all wear the same size shoe, so I bought all three colors, tan, black and gray. The girls have worn them with skirts, shorts, dresses, tights, leggings and jeans and they all look great. I tend to dress a little more conservative so I lean toward leggings and tunics, jeans and jackets These booties are so comfy and fun too...I prefer the basic black bootie, but the girls love, love, love the gray ones... the only thing I think is odd is... the gray suede and the TAN heal... it's doesn't work for me, but then... I never get to wear those anyway."

Bought them in Gray too!
"I live in Colorado, and the current winter boot trend is, well.. Uggly. These are so much more stylish! They offer excellent arch support and great traction in the snow ( I am a traveling corporate chef, and work in Vail, Aspen, etc.) . I love these boots (and so do my teenage daughters) and I bought them in Brown and in gray. I have worn them with jeans, and with skirts and sweaters and I am always getting compliments on them. Think its time to by the black ones too!"

Better then I expected
"I am a traveling corporate chef and on my feet all day (I average 18,000 steps a day). I am physically fit (cycling & bikram yoga).. but my knee are started given me trouble only when I am work and I suspected my shoes as the culprit . After many months of trying new chef shoes, my boyfriend bought me these cute Conditioning Mary Janes. I love them! I've been wearing them everyday, and I just ordered the nonskid ones for work ..So far, no knee pain and I am realigning my walk, which is also a plus. I have not had them long enough to know if they tone. However, my massage therapists commented on how much more toned my Gluts were this week!! So, who knows.... I'll get back to you in 30 days."
