"The boots in the picture are shiny and very desirable. The boots that arrive are not shiny and have a horrible odor to them. The boots are very light, cheaply made. The styling is cool, but I question how long they will last. They can not be worn with slacks, I think they will be fine with jeans. I'm not sure if I will keep them. I'm going to wait a day before returning them. Of note, I wear 12-13, I ordered these in a 12, I probably could have fit into an 11. They do run large. If you are looking for some cheap knee high boots, these May be for you. If you want quality long lasting boots, look elsewhere."
