"For starters, they are NOT as pictured. I have the Cognac and LOVE them, so I bought the Black. I assumed they would be ALL Black like the picture shows, but the heels are brown!!! Do not buy if you are expecting them to be completely Black. I am going to keep them b/c it doesn't bother me that much, but you should know or you will be disappointed! I rated it a 5 b/c even though they're not what I thought, the boots are still fabulous!"
