I have just purchased these boots after looking for a pair of black knee-high leather boots for around 6 years... The ones I liked didn't fit, and the ones that fit were horibble... These boots are amazingly comfy and I haven't even had to "wear them in". I've worn them to work straight from the box and they haven't rubbed anywhere, and they are lovely and warm - not to mention waterproof! They look sexy but classy and are now an essential item of my winter wardrobe. I also purchased the Hush Puppies 'Erin' boots and found them to be extremely comfortable as well. I have wider toes and skinny ankles and usually have trouble finding boots to fit, but these are fab and I thoroughly recommend them!
