I am in LOVE with my new boots! I cannot tell you how happy I was with them the minute I put them on! I didn't want to take them off! The only complaint I have is that I wish the gold zipper/buckles were either a brass gold and not so shiny, or a silver finish, as I actually did purchase these for riding horses and feel a little silly being so "flashy" with the shiny buckles/zipper on a horse farm where you don't need to be making fashion statements, but other than that, I am just thrilled with these! I wear a size 11 shoe and I have wide feet, but NOT wide calves, so finding wide width boots that don't also a wide calf is really hard. These boots fit me perfect! These are slightly larger than a plain old size 11, allowing me to extra room to accommodate my wider feet. I can wear them for hours and not have sore feet! Thank you for my great new boots!
