I've been looking for a boot like this for some time now. Something that comes up just about 2 inches above the ankle, understated, yet classic and stylish, good quality leather. When I saw these online, the pictures looked great, the reviews were positive, and the price was great so I got them -- but I thought something would not be right. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when I received them! Soft, good, leather. Doesn't look cheap or cheesy. All of my
boots are from J.Crew - I would put this in the same category with my other J.Crew
boots in regards to style. I can't give it a full 5 stars for comfort. They are comfortable, I do have narrow feet, so these fit well. The footbed is not very cushiony, but I'm sure you could add some padding. The heel is plastic, so it is a little clacky when you walk. But overall - for the price and look, very worth it!
