I LOVED HOW THESE BOOTS LOOKED IN THE AD.BUT ONCE I GOT THEM THEY SEEMED TO HAVE TAKEN ON A DIFFERENT APPEARANCE. THEY HAVE THIS LEATHER SEAM ON THE INSIDE THAT RUBS ON THE TOP OF YOUR ANKLE AND IS VERY ANNOYING. THE TIES ALWAYS KEEP COMING UNDONE WHILE YOUR WALKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL? IM NOT EVEN HITTING THEM ON ANYTHING THEY JUST COME UNLACED. ITS A PAIN AND I REALLY DONT WANT TO TIE THEM IN A KNOT! THEY DONT STAND UP AS WELL AS THEY SHOULD SINCE THEY ARE MADE BY MINNETONKA,THEY USUALLY HAVE WELL STURDY MADE LEATHER MOCCASINS THAT DONT FLOP DOWN BUT THESE SEEM TO SLOUCH A BIT. I HAD TO GET A SIZE 9 AND SO THEY ARE A BIT BIG BECAUSE I WEAR AN 8.5 AND MINNETONKA DOESNT MAKE THESE IN HALF SIZES. THEY TELL YOU THEY RUN SMALL SO TO ORDER THE NEXT BIGGEST SIZE IF YOU WEAR A HALF SIZE.DEFINITELY DONT RUN SMALL
