I ordered these boots without seeing them in person. They were exactly what I was looking for. I took the advice of another reviewing and ordered a 1/2 size bigger, which wasn't necessary, but not the end of the world, they still fit good enough. The leather is very nice and doesn't appear cheap at all. I have gotten many compliments on the boots, perfect with a dress, leggings, or skinny jeans. The jeans must be skinny, there is not room for much.
