These boots looked nice on the Amazon site. Upon arrival I found them to be very cheap looking and feeling. I think the quality of shoes are hard to judge online and despite the other high reviews, which I used to make my decision to buy them, I was less than thrilled. I returned them immediately. I had to pay the return shipping cost since it was not Amazon's fault. All in all, it was cheaper than paying for the gas to go shop and come back. I went and bought boots. I just think for certain items like shoes or clothing the feeling of the fit and materials is better done in person. I would not recommend these boots. Others apparently like them. So the choice is up to you to decide.
