"These boots are beautiful! I even get compliments from men. I ordered them in cognac treated it with shoe protector so they stay beautiful. I'm 4 foot 11 " and they were not to tall for me. Although they do run a little narrow on the calf. The first couple of uses I needed help zipping them up, but after a few uses I was able to zip them up myself. After a couple of uses they are comfortable enough to wear all day."
