For some time I have been looking for a rugged, walking boot that is not only functional, it has to be stylish! Very happy to find it on Amazon; and at a good price. The lighter, brown color appealed to me. When I took it out of the box, I was surprised at how cute this boot is. It has so many practical features, but looks so chic as well. Knowing from a previous Sebago purchase that the fit is large, I ordered a 9M which is perfect. Premium leather combined with Angora suede feels so soft and supple. Unlike some other boots of mine, I was very pleased at how comfortable they were after first wear. I was glad that I didn't feel the need to break them in. I have replaced the flat laces for round; I find they are easier to lace up. Dress them up or down for so many great looks. Jeans, leggings or skirts and dresses would team up beautifully with this boot. Quality of leather and workmanship is very high. Padded linings in the foot bed provide the all day comfort that I need. A quality boot that is very comfortable, versatile and looks so chic, sealed the deal for me! Arrived very well packed. Great price and excellent service from Amazon Germany!!!
