Loved the look of these online. Coveted them for weeks. If you are going for looks, the colors of the boot are duller than the photo. The photo punches up the reds a lot on the black boots. The fabric and stitching on the padding around the top of the boot is a bit harsh. If toe area seems too narrow, try re-lacing the boots to be looser in toe area. It may make a difference for you. Plenty of ankle support if laced right,Have not worn outside or hiked. Odds are, I won't keep them.Dang women's boots hossNo especifican pero son para mujer.Para trabajarThese are women's shoes not mens, very disappointed it doesn't display that anywhere. Will be returning them.Son de mujer y no de hombreThey are advertised as men's shoes, but are in fact women's shoes. Thus, when I ordered them, they came in a size much too small for me.Lovely boot, not sure what is up at the factory. I ordered a 9. I received what looks and feels like an 8.5 narrow. Not the end of the world, just a tiny hassle. Thank you Amazon for great return policies.Had these boots a couple weeks, needed a little breaking in but not too bad. Nice leather boots, so far appears to be water proof. Might require a sole insert for a little extra comfort on a long hike. Tongue is sewn in place so stays put nicely. Collar is well padded. Top two grommets allow either lacing through holes for permanent lacing or you can use the hooks for quicker in and out. Sizing is bang on for me. Hoping for quite a few years and miles out of them!The boots look very nice and small, and narrow... as they are women and not men's . There's quite a difference when it comes to sizing. I wish I could review the product properly and give the proper amount of stars.
