"I only own 1 other pair of boots and have tried many without purchasing in stores. I don't know what possessed me to buy these online but I don't regret it for a second! Perfect for me! Not over slouchy, just the right heel, and the calf fits just right with any pant tucked in or out. The grey color is a little brown too so it goes with everything. I'd say more of a casual boot but for a girly night out they would work too."
