The reviews were good and the price was even better, so I thought to give the boots a try.
Normal Foot size-7.5 fit very well-even roomy but not overly so with a slender and pretty rounded almond toe. Absolutely no padding-(or so it felt to me)- with minimal arch support.
I imagine the manufacturer presumed that the consumer will place an insert into the footbed.
(Wrong). That increases the price on the boots.

The leather is adequate-somewhat stiff. I would definitely want to condition the whole boot with Mink Oil-partially because the boot was packaged in the box folded in half. Also, the seam stitching is somewhat rough-though I shouldn't bicker; having never sewn leather myself.

My biggest issue with these is how to wear these uber long boots fashionably to take advantage of the extreme height.
My legs are a bit on the slender side and I am somewhat short. The front of the boots sit about 3 inches above my knee. The gap between my leg and the boot is about 3-maybe 4 inches.

Generally, I do not wear mini-skirts, but this is how they would look best (on me). Otherwise, I would have to rebuild my wardrobe to include leggings and tunics-which I personally do not believe are attractive. (At least not attractive in the way I want to cause attraction-although I am sure that I could get plenty of oglers if that is the objective.

Did I say that the boots do not seem very warm. I particularly wear boots for a certain level of cold weather comfort. These boots wouldn't walk me any further than a 12 blocks before wishing I had worn something warmer.

Overall
Looks-yes. Practical-Absolutely not.
Plenty of other products would give me more bang for my bucks.

Side Note: Amazon sent me the Steel color even though I ordered the black. The steel is pretty and goes well with weathered denim. Had I received the black boots, I might have written a different review.
