"These boots are beautiful! The leather is gorgeous, very sturdy construction. They will age beautifully. The color is a bit lighter than the picture but lots of variation, they go with everything. They are a bit noisy (the buckle) if that would bother you, but otherwise perfect! I normally wear a 7 but ordered a 7.5 to we're heavier socks. I'm glad I ordered up, I think a 7 would've been tight."
