I found these boots while doing a search for lace up boots. I used to have a cute pair of lace ups that I outgrew, so I had to replace them. I don't normally go for extremely high heels, but I surprised at how comfy they are. I've worn these twice to do grocery shopping, and my feet only started to hurt near my toes after about 2 hours. Recommendation: wear black socks with these and fold them down so they're the same height as the boot (if folded down). I didn't do that the first time I wore them and got a minor blister. I love these boots and have gotten a lot of compliments on them. Love love love!!!I've been looking for a shoe like this for quite awhile. Took a chance and bought these at a good price. For a 5 inch heel they are very comfy unlike other shoes I own. I have a wide foot and these boots still feel great. Highly recommend! Did I mention.... They are sooooo sexy! Hot boots!!These boots are totally bad ass! Comfort level at first will ache like in the arch and calves but as it gets worn into it will improve...Legs, hips and butt will benefit.
