I've got a pair of these, and I'm a bit ambivalent about recommending them. On one hand, they are the most adorable boots ever, and they can work for a lot of different eras--they look great on modern dolls as well as with the mid-nineteenth century types.
On the other hand, they CANNOT be worn without dark stockings, because the black laces will stain the doll's legs or white socks if they are worn for any length of time. Also, they are pretty hard to get on. I can get them on all my dolls' feet--the ancient PC ones as well as the new Mattels--but quite a bit of squishing and tugging is needed to get them on properly.
So, in summary:
Judging purely on looks: A
Practically speaking: C+
