Was worried about thin cheap leather or mismatched coloring or more of a rust brown color arriving based on previous reviewers pics but yay they arrived just like picture same color and apparent thick but not too thick leather which was happy about as have another pair of moto boots high quality thick leather that i can no longer wear because they are wayyyyy too heavy and inflexible as my knees are getting more problematic very uncomfortable to wear. these are the perfect balance of sturdiness and quality without being too heavy or stiff.  LOVE THEM! I am short 4 11 but the cut of these shorter in front make them flattering on my short legs. Put a insole in and viola perfect fit. Was also worried wud be too big but I wear a 6 in boots almost always ( have wide flat feet) in spite of reviews saying these are narrow the width very is comfortable. The 37- 6-6.5 size just right with insole and bare feet. The 36 wud have been too snug for my liking for sure
EDIT: landed up taking out a few stitches inside and pulling the wire out with thin pliers and is so much more comfy as my feet and legs are hyper sensitive to stiffness or scratchiness since will be primarily wearing these bare legged with frilly ruffly mini skirts or mini dresses...the leather is thick enuff to stay upright without sagging and looks so freakin cute! Im obsessed!
