These boots are absolutely lovely looking, but the quality and support could be better.
Quality wise: After a few months of wear, a seam at the back heel of one boot came un-stitched and a little piece of supportive plastic broke and slipped out. This little piece of plastic (about 1" by 1.5") that is sewn under the suede at the heel of each boot, apparently, helps to ensure the leather there does not bunch up and collapse. So, without this piece, the suede on one of my boots is awkwardly folded on itself, making it difficult to not step on. Also, had the problem with the ties coming undone and losing beads... double-knot is necessary.
Support: As another reviewer stated, they really are a lot like a "slipper" with a rubber sole. They are soft and light-weight, do not have the feel of a boot. They have nothing by way of "arch support", which I don't necessary min; however, they are so oddly narrow, it does feel somewhat wrong for my foot.
If you have a perfectly narrow foot and are looking for a lighter boot, I would still recommend these because despite their drawbacks, they have a wonderful appeal to them. However, I could not recommend them if you are looking for a serious boot and/or you desire some support from your shoe.
