"I was very skeptical of these boots, especially with the mixed reviews. I didn't want them to look too cheap. I love cheetah print and ordered a pair of cheetah over the knees from a very expensive brand and was very disappointed and returned them. I bought these on a whim and could not be happier - especially at the price. They are definitely not a long-term investment, but for a fun, trendy boot to wear this season with a black outfit - really young and fun. I also only like OTK boots that are snug around the calf - these are it!"
