"I bought these riding boots in brown a couple of weeks ago in my regular size 8.5M but exchanged them for a 9M to allow room for warm socks in winter. This is my first Cole Haan purchase and I am very happy with these boots. They are simple yet stylish, elegant, and comfortable. Thank you DSW for the superb offer - $139.95 for a $199.95 boot was a steal. I sure will come back for another pair."
