"I was very excited about this boot. I usually read all reviews for boots to read about the way the calf fits..true fit and how the leather appears. This boot is a sexy boot online, unfortunately, when it arrive the 'black' was super shiny and was too faux. If that's possible. It appeared the material of a $30 boot opposed to $90. I haven't seen it in brown, I will go IN to the store for that. Otherwise, I will stick with 9West boots as always."
