These are beautiful boots! I ordered the black ones. I was a bit worried that the lace wouldn't show up in the dark color, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got them! I've received tons of compliments already! They are a little slick, but they're cowboy boots and nothing I wasn't expecting. I ordered some anti-slip pads to go on the bottom of the boot when I ordered them. So I was prepared! Highly recommended!
