I really do like these boots.  I have muscular calves (15" circumfrence) and have a really hard time finding boots that fit until now.

I ordered the brown and at first I would have rated them a 5.  However, after applying some mink oil to waterproof these, the darker color that is on the toes rubbed off.  I wish I had known the darker color on the toes wasn't permanent and would come off after the first time they were shined. Had I known, I would have ordered the black instead.

All in all, these boots are extremely comfortable and I have no problem walking around in these all day.  The leather is a great quality and I know these shoes will last me a long time.  I have received numerous compliments from family and friends as well as strangers.
