"I was looking for a pair of boots that were nice/classy enough to wear to work, but also great for weekend wear. These fit the bill! The only thing is I was shocked how short they ran. I normally wear an 8, but these even the 8.5 is tight on me. I ordered both the 8.5 and the 9 to see which will fit better. Also, I normally don't like two-toned boots, but the brown on these is so dark that it actually looks very nice. Not too flashy or too much at all - I think it will help compliment outfits that have warmer tones to them. Overall, great boot!"
