Possibly best boot purchase ever
The idea of "convertible boots" sounds awful, doesn't it? Like those pants that zip off into shorts? Trust the Rag & Bone guys to make it work. What we have here is a cool chunky suede ankle boot (pretty chunky, not delicate) and these weird chaps-looking pieces with a corset laced back. Slide the pieces on (not easy) and hook them under the sole of the ankle boot and suddenly you have a fierce riding-type boot that truly doesn't look stupid.
I have long legs but am not tall and these suckers are just over-knee for me. I will probably wear them most often as ankle boots, but I love them both ways. I'm usually a 6 and bought a 6.5 as the listing said they run small. There's a bit of extra room, but I think a true 6 would have been way too tight.
The suede is distressed- rubbed and shiny in places- which is a look I love but you may not. Also, had I paid the full$1K plus price for these boots, I might not have been QUITE so thrilled!

Would be cute if they fit!
I purchased an XS. I am 5'2" and about 95 and these were GIGANTIC on me. The loose fit, dropped crotch, and cuff are cute features, but require a great fit at waist and hips. I am hoping these can be altered but am doubtful as the waistband appears to be one wide piece of elastic. Buy at least one size smaller than you expect to need, and if you're petite give it up!

Pretty but cheaply made
I purchased these in mushroom - very pretty, versatile color. The suede is nice and the silk tie is nice - but the sole is glued on, with the glue visible, and on my pair there was actually glue dripped onto the suede! I'm not sure this should happen with $275 shoes. I cleaned them up and kept them anyway but can't really recommend because of the quality issue. Other issue is that you cannot tie these up the leg- the silk won't hold- so you need to bow them at the ankle and tie very tightly. Of course they will undo all night but that's what scarf-tie sandals do. They are reasonably comfortable.
