I normally love anything made by Aerosoles but I was sadly disappointed in the comfort of the leather on the boots, it's more like hard plastic than leather. The ankle portion is so stiff and hard plastic type stiff that even with thick socks it cuts my shin when I walk due to no give. I was expecting a soft leather like all their other boots but this is cheap pleather feel that is so hard and rigid it goes to the point of pain. The Size is true and is ok on comfort but the ankle having no flex makes the boot something I won't wear often.
