Pros: This boot is very nice and well made. The leather is buttery soft and looks nice with both dress up and dress down attire. The foot bed is quite comfortable and I can stand in them all day while teaching with minimal to no discomfort. My feet don't get overheated or sweaty in these boots compared to pleather varieties. I enjoy having dry socks at the end of the day.

Cons: The boot runs small and narrow. I have narrow feet and the boot feels tight on them. I also had trouble zipping the shaft over my 15 inch calf at first. There is an expansion area, but the design would have benefited from a 1-2 inch deeper v to allow the shaft to expand properly around the leg.

The boots have stretched out a little over several days of wear. I am hoping they will continue to mold to my feet. They feel more comfortable each day I wear them, but the seem to require a long breaking in period.

Overall: Depending on how the boot adapts to my feet and calves over time, I would consider purchasing this boot again. I am extremely happy with the comfort. It is difficult for me to find shoes that allow me to stand for long periods.
