Thanks everyone! I'm definitely going to keep the boots. I still have to proof them, but I'm sure I'll be wearing them soon.

The stitching looks black IRL. It's not very obvious, so the stock picture is a bit misleading.
@JamC
That's a great compliment! I would say I'm getting better at deciding...
@Beth Ann
I agree about the scale. I can't see 'stompy' boots working with my style, but neither do I want delicate looking ones.
