These boots are sturdy, reliable and very good looking in person. The leather is a high quality, and the fit was great.

The reason it has four stars instead of five is that you can't use them as a "logger" boot. My boyfriend does installations for a cable company, and has to climb poles with spikes called "gaffs" attached to his shoe.  You cannot attach a gaff to this shoe because of the sloped heel.  So if you are looking for a work boot and you'll be gaffing poles or trees unfortunately you'll have to bypass this handsome boot. But if you want it for any other reason I highly recommend it. My boyfriend is still sulking over the fact that we had to send it back because he liked it so much.

Pros-

- Everything you want in a work boot, AND you'll look good

Cons-

- Cannot gaff in this boot, you'll die...that is literally the only reason this boot isn't getting five stars.
