Great short boots made with high quality leather, sewing and styling. The lining inside is soft and warm. Warm enough for an east coast winter, but I too lovely to ruin them with snow and slush wear. It's a fall into early winter boot, before the salt gets sprayed around.<br />Sizing: The boots don't run small, but a touch narrow. The front tapers yet the leather has those gathers and is soft, such that the boot will expand in the mid range of the foot. I would not say runs small, as ordering up would result in a boot that's too long for the foot. On the other hand, if the two feet are slightly different due to bunions, corns, etc. then these boots are forgiving and will fit both feet.<br /><br />The heel is that perfect combination of a bit of height and style, but solid on the ground and easy to walk in.<br /><br />Color: I ordered the Kendra boot because I wanted the red, and it does not disappoint. It's a deep and rich color, neither bright nor dull. It is much lighter than a burgundy, but still dark. The color of the image is fairly accurate on tone and darkness.. but more beautiful in reality.
