I recently broke my ankle and required surgery. My normal heels were out of the question and I needed a fun yet a bit dressy boot that would fit over my splint. This was the only boot I could find and it is perfect. I especially like the studs in the double fringe, which adds interest to the boot. I bought black because it was the only color available at the boutique where I do most of my shopping. If I could find the blue locally without having to deal with shipping I would buy that as well! Fits true to size.
