I love these boots! BUT they arrived damaged; not only did they appear slightly worn on the suede (not the first time Ive encountered this ordering boots on Amazon) but the stitching on the pull tab on the rear is halfway torn through. Not t mention the box was in awful shape. Ill try one more time ordering from Amazon, hopefully the torn pull isn't indicative of overall quality. Oh, and I ordered a half size up which was a good decision.
