"I really dig these little boots. They're a really nice color for this fall; it looks very warm and lush in person. The brown is JUST light enough to get away with wearing with black if you wanted, though I think they're better with browns. The big chunky heel works well for this season. The shoes are also very comfortable. I was in a rush and had to run out the door quickly, so I threw them on without socks once and didn't get blisters... that surprised me. They really are well made!"
