I was a little nervous getting these, unsure if I'd ever wear something that 'busy' as all of my other boots are quite subdued. They were offered at a killer price, so much so, that it would be ridiculous to pass them up. Boy, am I glad I took a chance!!! These boots are gorgeous in person. The embroidery, exquisite. Every seam lines up perfectly, with no interruption in pattern. I am not a big fan of the color yellow, and thankfully it is not too bright in real life and looks beautiful with the red, blue and cream. I usually wear a 10-11. I bought a 10.5 and they fit well with a pair of average thickness socks. I am excited to wear these out. They are comfortable and made really well. Worth every cent. My only problem with these boots may be keeping them away from my teenage daughter, who now wants a pair of her own!!
