These boots are very nice. They're very pretty. The gummy heel and sole seem like amazing shock absorbers. They don't quite have the profile of the boots shown, and they are NOT thigh high, which is why I took off 2 stars. These boots came to a point well below my knees. I really wanted true thigh high boots. Too bad, because these are nice BELOW the knee boots. I'm returning them, since I can't use them.
