"I had an old pair of brown leather boots that I was trying to replace when I found these boots. I wore them everyday- especially with sun dresses or skinny jeans. These ones do just the trick! They're the perfect summer-to-fall boots (I'm in New England) - you can layer warm socks under or light ankle socks. The crochet boot upper is slouchy but has a leather rib up the back that holds it from falling down like a big pair of socks! It's also transparent so if you're really picky- you'll have to match your socks. I love them! The foot box is roomy, but I ordered up a half-size, which i always do with boots for layering leggings/tights/socks when it gets chilly. Super cute, beautiful little boots- would recommend!"
