I love everything about these boots, except one thing... THEY ARE LOUD. I figured I just needed to break them in but its been two months wearing them 3ish times a week and the noise they make when I walk would wake the dead. I might have to stop wearing them to certain places. =(

Edit: Rubbed the leather with lotion and powder for a few wears and they are MUCH quieter, like some other reviewers said. I'm changing my review from 3 to 4 stars.
