I love combat boots and was excited to get these.  However when I did, I was less than happy.  I think it was the colour and leather.  The leather just appeared a little superficial and fake to me.  The vintage style colour also didn't do it for me.  I think SM were going for a worn, natural look however the affect was less than this.  It just looked like a poor colour finish and nothing natural about it.

I sent these back and purchased another pair from a different brand.
