I am thrilled with these boots, I bought them for my husband and he loves them. They are even more gorgeous in person than in these photos. We bought the ones that are listed as "black", and even in the photos they look at bit more brown than they do in person.. they are more like a slate gray and they are made to look weathered (and the weathering is done well, these boots do not look cheap). They are very well made and my husband says they are very comfortable and fit well.
