Before purchasing I was told by friends not to read the reviews and to just go for it. I did, and I am so so impressed by the boots (Ashanti Knee High) I bought. I spent around $96 and they are sturdy leather and have lasted me extremely well. My shoes usually begin to show signs of wear within a couple of months of wearing them - but I have to say, I've worn these pretty consistently and they are fabulous! I had a question for customer service and they got back to me promptly and solved my query easily. I would definitely say go for it if you're thinking about purchasing. They're fairly inexpensive leather shoes anyway - so you're not losing much tbh.
