We have a saying in Puerto Rico : "Lo barato sale caro" ("cheap becomes expensive"...Or something in that matter) but you get what you paid for.  I only paid $26. Shipping them back was $24.50, so i kept them. One boot is made of a nice soft, heavy leather, and the other is thin, wringkled, cracked, cheap material, that does not feel like leather. They do run a bit large, as some reviews said.  They do bulge at the ankle, so i think i'll use them with long pants. Do not buy this boot, wait and save a little more money and buy a good quality one.  Read the reviews...do what i say...not what i did!! Happy shopping!
