Fantastic quality - I think these can take a beating and still be the favorite boots. The style is exactly what I was looking for - finally (after ordering like 6 or 7 other boots on amazon and returning them)! The laces on the back allows you to adjust to your personal size from ankle to upper calf, which is just awesome. It fits true to size I think - I ordered one half size larger than my normal shoe size, as I always do for boots, and it fits fine. I have very high arches, narrow feet but very sensitive toes (so I like wider toe boxes), very narrow ankles, and 15" calves - but I need 16" to 17.5" for boot opening/calf size so I can easily wear jeans or thicker leggings underneath - which is apparently tough list of specifics to find in boots online, so this style really works for me better than most. The foot of the boot is on the narrow side, so I do wish it had a larger toe box since I'm prone to ingrown toenails, but it's the kind of quality leather that I think will stretch and conform to my shape as I wear them (like doc martins did back in the day) and become more comfortable.
The one thing that annoys me, the reason I give these 4 stars and not 5, is the stupid half zipper. With my very high arches, it's really, really, REALLY hard to get my feet in. Even harder with jeans on. I mean, how hard is it to just give us a full zipper so we can put them on easily? It wouldn't hurt the style to just continue it all the way up. So yeah, once I pray to all possible deities, and pull with all my might, call the four corners and invoke all the power of Manon, I can get them on. Once I get my foot past the ridiculously hard heel obstacle, my foot actually fits perfect inside the boot and is comfortable to walk in. It's just an Olympian challenge to get past that point. Maybe with wear it will stretch and get easier? I'll update my review if it does.

Update: I wore these all day long for 2 days straight, and I love them. They're currently my absolute favorite pair of boots. I haven't loved boots this much since my docs in the 90s. They broke in nice and easy, with little discomfort, and after only 2 days I don't have problems putting them on anymore. I still think the half zipper is a dumb, cumbersome design on any boot though. If Amazon had half-star ratings, I'd raise mine to a 4.5.
