I like the look of these boots but they do not have much cushioning in them.  They were not designed for all day comfort.  It does take a while to break them in.  I own a brown pair and a black pair.  You can tell that the boots are hand made because they fit slightly different even though they are marked as the same size.  The black pair fits better.  The brown pair is slightly larger.  They do scuff a little bit easier than I would have expected.  I have noticed other reviewers have mentioned that also.  I would purchase them again but I'm not sure I wouldn't go up a half size so I could squeeze in a shoe insert for more comfort.  Other than that I like the boots. They are well made.  The stitching quality and the soles are of good quality and construction.  They can be worn with a pair of jeans or slacks either one depending on the occasion.
