This shoe is the most uncomfortable shoe that is possibly made.  Whatever it is made of is as stiff as wood. What a disappointment. I highly recommend not to purchase this Easy Street Triumph Ankle Boot. I thank Amazon for their free shipping and easy returns. Amazon seems to be the place to go for selection/in most cases...pricing choices, as well as free ship & returns. I recently learned the hard way when I ordered a pair of shoes from another entity that offered free shipping. The shoes didn't fit so I had to return them...$11.55 to have them returned. Wow! I won't be shopping with that entity anymore. Amazon: Please keep offering shoe sales (less than $100) on good quality leather shoes as much as you can.
