My title pretty much says it all.These boots are extremely comfortable, and fit well right out of the box.They do need need to be broken in though, as the ankle refuses to bend when new (which makes it difficult to walk).After walking about 1 mi, they were fine. Surprisingly enough, the straps actually add a fair amount of ankle support.Appearance-wise, they look similar to the picture.HOWEVER, they are not shiny.They are a very flat black, instead of looking like a dress boot.This is a plus in my book, as I had planned to dull them up anyway as the flat black looks better.In addition, these boots do NOT have a side zipper, so if you want this feature... get a different boots.A facet not mentioned in the description is that that each sole is screwed into the sole with 25 Philips screws.Once again, this is a plus as this shoe looks like it will last for years.One last thing (purely informational), if you wear a boot-cut jean with these, all the silver studs will be covered; when you sit down, between 1-2 are revealed.
I''ll upload a couple of pictures which show how the boot REALLY looks.
So I purchased the first pair, a 1/2 size smaller than what I normally wear. It didn''t fit and was too tight. I had to send it back. (Also, there were a few minor defects on the exterior.)
Then I bought a pair a 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear. It fit around the foot but, as I laced it and tried to zip it, I realized that it wouldn''t fit around my calf. My younger sister tried it on (14" calf) and it barely fit around hers. So if you''ve got muscular and/or chunky calves, I don''t suggest purchasing this item. I had to send that pair back, too.Heavy duty boot I use for work the only thing that would make these better would be if they were steel toes. leather is heavy duty, the belts are just high enough above the ankle to prevent pinching. I''ve worn these for 2 years now and with little upkeep and they are still in good shape.
