I already owned a pair of Pleaser Raven boots that are quite comfortable and have a good heel and sole so I thought I would purchase these at there low price. I also had a gift card and some points which lowered the price to around $60. They arrived quickly, I had them in a couple days. When they arrived I tried them on and checked them out. They look good and fit well (I had expected them to be tighter in the foot part needing to stretch out). But the sole and heel were very cheaply made. They looked very slippery so I added a safe step sole pad and a heel protector. The previous pair of Pleaser boots were a little more money (not Much)and definitely were a litlle better quality. For the cheap price of both boots I can't complain. I'm really not hard on boots so they will probably last a good while but for someone whose boots take abuse I'd spend a little more money for better quality. Both pairs have an attractive look and definitely reach high on your thigh though. I have not worn them yet so I don't know if they really are slippery and how durable they are.
