Eh. I have the Melissa zip -- it's a good boot. But it doesn't come up quite as high as I would like. Lately I find myself turning to my Clark's that I've had for 3-4 years instead that cost about 100 less.

When I lose a few pounds, I tend to agree that they will look good over skinny jeans. May not be the best for skirts and dresses.

Zappos has a ton, and their return policy makes it so easy to find the right ones.
