The leather is really soft, and the heel is really thick, which makes it the most comfortable heeled shoe I have ever worn! The material is semi-waterproof, and I like that the bottom has good traction. The shoe is a little loose without
socks, but with
socks, it\'s a perfect fit for me. The boot does not have a zipper, so if you have bigger calves, might want to check out a different shoe. For the longest time, I couldn\'t find a boot that fit my smaller-than-average calves; most
boots ran too large. However, even without a zipper, these
boots fit great!
