The boot is made of a very high quality full grain leather. The stiching appears very sturdy. They look great with jeans.  Break in takssome time as they are kind of stiff at first. Once broken in they are really comfortable.  I rate them a 5 for overall value and looks.  I bought them for casual wear, not work.  However, I anticipate they will hold up well.  After 21 years in the military, I've worn a lot of boots.  These are high quality.  Remember though, they are $80ish.  They are not $150.  Keep that in perspective.  I ordered one full size smaller than what I would wear in a tennis shoe.  I also wear boot socks with them, and it's a perfect fit.  Good boot, great value.
