"These boots are just gorgeous. You can pair them with basically whatever you want, and for a 3-in. heel it is actually quite comfortable. I get complimented on them a lot! They do fit a bit snug, but I wouldn't order a 1/2 size up unless you want to wear them with THICK socks. They're pretty much TTS. Because of the material, they do get dirty but nothing that looks that bad. One of the few things I DO NOT like about it is the heel. It's probably just me, but the heel makes a lot of noise because it doesn't have a rubberized sole encasing the heel. I guess that's how most nicer shoes come though..."
