"I looked everywhere for black seude boots. These are the nicest low heeled ones I found. I'm 5'5'' and they are a little shorter than most of my other knee high boots, hitting about 2 inches below my knee. At first I thought they looked too short but I'm beginning to think the slightly shorter boot actually elongates my legs. They fit tight to my calves which helps them look even more flattering. I've worn them with skirts and skinny jeans and they look good with both. My calves are average to small and the M size calf fit perfect. One down side is they are slippery on smooth floors as another reviewer already said."
