finally got to photograph these boots.
i got the pewter zips rather than the gold because i prefer low contrast. the leather is dark chocolate not quite suede but has a very subtle knap, almost like split leather. the diameter of the shaft is supposedly 13 in, feels more generous but fits snugger because there is a leather pleat that is visible when you wear the zips down (panel 2). the shaft is 16" tall. you can see it come up to just under my kneecap. i like this look, but others may think it is too high. the shaft is wide at the ankle so will lead to a permanent slouchy look. these are casual boots, especially with the round toe. the back tab is a cute and really useless detail. the bottom zip does not move. the top zip does not unzip all the way (see panel 2 for the extent)--may or may not work if you have a super high arch and struggle with pull on boots. otoh i have a high arch and my foot just slides right in.
it is comfortable, but size up at least 1/2 a size if you want to wear thick socks. i am consistently a 36.5 in their boots, 36 in their shoes. they run a smidge narrow especially if you don't size up.
i bought these boots so i can wear them with the zips open...but never have because hubs calls this my captain morgan look.
let me know if this is enough info.
