I bought these boots from a retuable retailer 6 years ago and loved them! But after years of wear I finally had to retire my beloved boots. I was very excited to find the same pair on a amazon and was happy with the price. However, the new boots I received do not live up to the quality of my original pair. First of all, the sizing is way off. I ordered the same size as my original pair (8.5) but the ones I received are at least a full size smaller... my toes actually touch the toe box inside the boot. Also, the leather is much thinner and doesnt have the quality feel that my first pair did. Im questioning if these boots are in fact Steve maddens.
I am going to hold on to them and hopefully theyll become more comfortable as they break in and stretch out. At least they're cute!
