I know nothing about them but I just ordered them and with the ATL code someone posted awhile back, they were only $43 (including shipping and tax and all that jazz). I'll post a review once I get them. The heel is a little higher than I wanted but at that price, I can tough it out and look for some plain, flat boots to supplement them.
I hope I don't have to return them because the closest Ann Taylor Loft is over an hour away!
I haven't tried them on, but I have seen them in person. They are not bad looking. The leather seems soft (in a good way). I am considering them as a substitute for a pair of Dolce Vita's I tried on, loved, but can't afford. I liked the brown much better than the black.
