I love these boots. They are thick calf friendly which is something I always worry about when buying boots. They are made well, the inner lining is red which is a nice detail. The eyelets and hooks are brown. The heel is comfortable, most heels for me are not, even short ones. But these are comfortable. My only complaint is the size box mine were shipped to me in. It was a bit too small so in order to fit them in it, they were sort of crunched and squished in their box, which ended up bending and weirdly shaping one of the boots. I'm hoping that after wearing them and not storing them in that box it'll fix itself a bit. But other than that I love these shoes. I recommend.
