I have been wearing these on and off for 7 months. Danced at bluegrass shows, worn around town, and worn just because. However, if you are going to walk around a major city in these....beware! I walked over 5 miles in these around Washington, DC and woah nelly...my heels looked like raw meat. I am a runner and wore my running socks to try and prevent blisters. Nope. These boots were having none of that. Everything else was good though!

Summary: place a moleskin on your heel before wearing these for an extended period of time. And/or, place the moleskin pad on the heel of the boot (inside). You'll thank me later :)
