I loved these boots - the size was just right for me (8.5) and the price was great.  I bought them in the chestnut suede and promptly exchanged them for a new pair because the suede on top of the toes was very worn (scuffed). The second pair was even worse then the first.  Both pairs went back.  Zoom in on the pictures and look at the toe front - the part that rests just over your toes- and you will see the ones in the stock photo are slightly worn looking).  I love my other pair of (non-suede) Rocket Dogs.  If you don't mind the "worn" look, these would be awesome.  Amazon customer service was, as always, fantastic about the exchange and the returns.
