"My first pair of Matisse boots were bought in the DSW store located in Sherman Oaks, Ca.Thank GOD for DSW. I've found my brand for boots. These boots are my 4th pair of Matisse and I love, love them. When I first open the box they looked pretty small, I got nervous and of course, they fit like the most expensive, most comfortable and best looking boots in town. They are made in Brazil. They go with long and short skirts, jeans, and tights. Bravo! Matisse and Thanks DSW for your existence."
