I wanted something stylishly casual for work but when I tried them on they flared out on the top portion of the shaft. I even tried them on with tights and they still didn't work. They would work well for long skirts but not for at-the-knee skirts or shorter. Too bad cause I really liked the look and wanted riding boots.

Boot look great over jeans or with a dress/skirt. Zipper extends all the way to the heel, so boots are easy to get on and off. Back zipper and snap detail is so cute. Provides lots of compliments.

Leather is easily stained/scratched. Adds to the riding boot effect. If this bugs you, then use a product to protect/condition the leather.

I had achilles repair this summer and I'm still wearing shoes with support like Daneskos. I wore these on Christmas Day and was on my feet all day. This was the first time since my injury wearing something not specifically prescribed for me. They were great! They were a little bit roomy around the calf but that would be great for tucking in jeans. I loved the zipper in the back and I had plenty of support and comfort throughout the day. Lots of compliments. I'm definitely getting another pair in black!

I love the low heel on this stylish leather boot. They look great while still being very comfortable and easy to walk in for long periods of time.

Ankle area is too bulky, and the boots fits a bit too tight around my calf (my calves are almost 14 inches around the widest part.) Just didn?t fit well nor liked it enough to keep them. I normally love Franco Sarto shoes. This is the only Franco Sarto shoes that I have decided not to keep.
