The quality is just ok, in my opinion.  There was some green verdigris on the closure rings.  The leather is somewhat thin.  And I'm not a fan of the 'glossing up' that is done on some boots these days.

I totally agree with previous reviewers on the sizing of these boots.  I'm in my 50's and I tend to like shoes/boots not tight, so I ignored the recommendation to buy a size down.  I wear a size 10 and thought a 9 would be too small.  If they came in half sizes I would have bought 9-1/2.  Tried the boots on, and I could have bought size 9.  The boots are too big - I'm keeping them anyway because I don't want to pay return shipping.

I'm adding my recommendation to buy one size smaller.

Bought brown, and I do like the color.  The buckles & straps make the boots interesting.
