These boots are my most comfortable shoes. I have a lot of foot pain wearing my other shoes and boots. The leather is nice, and they are sturdy. I will probably buy another pair before winter, just in case they decide to change or not carry them anymore. I wear a women's 10.5,  so ordered an 8.5 in these, perfect fit. My husband hates to see me wear them, they aren't "cute" but when your feet hurt, you don't worry about cute.
