Best candidates for this boot are those with medium to wide feet, who want a western boot with a masculine vibe but don't have much to spend. On the plus side, these boots are made of a nice, soft pliable leather and have a grippy sole and well-padded insole. On the down side, they were 1/2 to a full size too big (I could have gone down to a 7.5M from an 8.5) and also looked very bulky and wide at the ankle (probably due to the pull-on style). They were comfortable and a nice change from the boring brown and black peeking out from under a boot-cut trouser or jean, but ultimately were a bit too mannish and clunky looking for me (almost like a motorcycle boot without the squared off toe).
