My wife loves them. She rides horses and was looking for a every day boot similar to cowboy boots. The leather is good quality and my wife claims these are the most comfortable boot she's owned. This is a boot she can walk in for a whole day. She was looking for a tall boot that fit her calf tighter. My wife is average height and athletic build. I think her legs and calves are of normal size, and yet her lower legs seem to swim in most boots. These have a strap at the top and with it tightened the boot fits her calf better.  Sure after a few months they have some scuffs but the leather is holding up and I'm sure they would buff out with a little conditioner.
