I bought the boots as a gift for my granddaughter. The boots are  classic riding boots, the leather is supple. The combination of sued an leather adds textural interest. Two buckles are jut the right number, not too little and not too much. An elastic insert at the top allows the wearer to insert pants into the boots with ease.
 Although I bought the boots in September which was very hot where we live, my granddaughter wore them from the moment she received them.
When this pare wares off I will probably buy for her another pare.
