ADORED!

" I am so in love with these boots. I bought a similar pair last season & wore them so often (unfortunately for the boots, through rain & snow) they were all but falling apart. When this autumn rolled around, I knew I wanted a similar boot & that Chinese Laundry usually designs an over-the-knee cognac boot! I first saw these in stores & was dismayed that my size wasn't in stock, so as a birthday gift to myself, I purchased them online. They fit like a dream, are SO comfortable & I LOVE that they're genuine leather! The only teeny tiny issue I have is that you have to finagle the zipper around your pants if they gather at all at the ankle. It only takes a few extra seconds to put them on & I'm sure I'll get the hang of it after a few more wears! Another feature of these boots that I love is that the top section easily folds down if you want an "under-the-knee" style. I actually like these boots even MORE than the similar ones I purchased last year! All in all, these boots are fantastic & if you're looking for a great quality, fashionable, over-the-knee brown boot, look no further! Just, for the boots sake, wear only in fair weather. Water & leather do not mix well & the boot will suffer! "

LOVE these, but...

" I was so incredibly excited to receive these boots in the mail. They arrived a day earlier than expected & I was pleasantly surprised that the booties are actually a darker brown than the golden brown depicted in the photo. I was soon saddened once I put the booties on and felt how narrow they were. I didn't remember reading anything in previous reviews about them running narrow, but they definitely do. I have a really high instep so my feet are EVER SO SLIGHTLY wider than "medium," but I generally have no problem with any other shoe that I buy. Because I love these shoes SO much, I'm hoping that if I break them in around the house a little, they'll stretch (suede, like leather, stretches a little). I'm going to design school in New York this January & I was ecstatic about bringing these booties with me, but now my fingers are crossed that I can break them in! Because of their narrowness, they are slightly less comfy than I would have liked. To live in Manhattan, you have to be wearing cute, but comfortable shoes with all the walking you do. So if you see the potential in these booties like I did, keep in mind that they're darker than pictured (which was good for me) & run narrow! If you can, size up to get a little more width! "
