Small, But Holds Lots Of *Stuff* - I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the DIESEL XPRESSYOURSELFWCOLOR BAG. It holds a lot of my junk like wallet, cell phone, lip balm, lip gloss, compact, tissue, hand sanitizer, handkerchief, wet wipes, gum and candy, along with some other stuff, even though the bag itself isn't that big. It's about the size of a piece of 8 x 11 paper and about 3-4 inches deep. Maybe because it's made from fabric rather than leather, it holds more stuff? Not sure, but it does without looking too bulky. The DIESEL BAG has two additional outer pockets - one under the snap buttons on top and another at the side zipper - along with the main compartment on the top (next to the snap button flap) that has a zip closure. There's also a small zippered pocket inside the main part, but no open pockets. The lack of an open inner-pocket for a cell phone or mp3 player is a little annoying, but it's a small thing so I didn't deduct any stars for it. The extra-long shoulder strap, which is about 1.25 inches wide and really long, is adjustable and fits comfortably on the shoulder or across the body. I'm 5'9" and with the strap let out to the mid-point, there's more than enough strap to go cross body. So it should work for both really tall and really short people. I love it! I got the "Chive Green" color which is an army green and goes with pretty much everything. I might buy some other colors in the future. This is one of the first fabric bags that I'll be using, I was only using leather before, so I hope this lasts. It seems durable, but with fabric you never know. I thought it was made from heavier canvas, but it feels really soft, which is nice, but I hope it lasts! Anyway, great for everyday bag for guys or gals.

Great buy. Perfect size. I love this bag! Very durable and well made. True to description and pictures. I was not disappointed. I wear this thing everywhere, and I get good comments on it often.

So cute! I love these boots - they're not super cushy and comfortable on the inside, but they are fine for what they are. Also - beware -- don't wear them with tights -- they'll snag 'em!

I ordered them 1/2 size bigger, but they are too big. I’m getting my reg. size now. They are so pretty, look great w/jeans tucked in. Not so sure how they'd look w/the jean over, though.

So cute and comfy! These shoes are so cute! They look nice and so far haven't given me any blisters, even after walking around the city (which is a big achievement)!

Awesome boots - I love these boots! They look great, plenty of room in the calf to tuck jeans into, and they look great with skirts, too. I love that there is a little bit of a heel, but they are really easy to walk in - you don't feel the heel at all.

Comfy, basic boot - This is a very comfy boot. Fits true to size, looks more expensive than it actually is, and all in all is a great boot. I'm very pleased with this boot.

Cute boot with nice style. Looks great with jeans. Don't think these boots will last more than one season, but if you are OK with that, they are great. Not much sole padding, but otherwise very comfortable.

I am very happy with the Sorel Conquest. I found them hard to get in and out the first 2 weeks. I also have a plate with screws on one of my ankles (after surgery, from a fall many years ago...was given the choice to leave it in or take it out...left it in). The stiffness of the boot rubbed against the ankle with the plate and screws making it very uncomfortable (pain). Thought I would have to get rid of the boots. Decided to keep the boot loose by not tying the boot strings too tight. This helped and in a week or two of constantly wearing it, the boot loosened up around the ankle area. This led me to think maybe the material of the boot eventually conforms to the shape of the foot (not sure) or perhaps it's just the material getting broken in. Now I can tighten the boot laces tight and my ankle doesn't feel a thing. What a change from the start. Wow, glad that worked out because I really like the overall look and feel of the boot. I really thought about getting rid of it but glad I waited a bit. I also have the Sorel Glacier. Now, in the coldest of weather and not moving around much the Conquest does get cold. So, they will not replace something like a Glacier for really cold days (-32*C with windchill). If you are moving around, the Conquest is just fine with thermal type socks which I wear with the Glacier as well. Today it was -20*C with little wind. I couldn't access my Glacier which would be the boot of choice for trudging in deep snow due to its much higher profile. I closed the gaiter down on the Conquest instead and waded in knee deep snow for much of the day. It performed really well! I didn't think it would but it did. Wow, that gaiter on the Conquest really came in handy today. I really like this boot! It saved the day. Although the temp was -20*C my feet was not cold with the Conquest. I use a thermal sock. There was little wind and I was moving around so that must have helped.

Very cute! Got these in gray which look really cute. The sole is a little thin but the boot in general is very comfortable. There is plenty of space in the calf. I think they fit just a tad bigger than they should, but nothing thick socks can't fix.

Poor Quality, Bad Fit - I was really disappointed in the craftsmanship of this boot. I'm not expecting stellar, but at least halfway decent would be nice. The suede looked like it was about to rip or fall apart. I could also see my toes through the toe box even though I got a 7.5. .
