i have worn these boots for 4 days, and i realized that they needed a breaking in period. i love everything about them except that they are a bit stiff in the forefoot, and that makes them uncomfortable if they are worn for a lot of hours. they look great, the suede is very nice, the heel is perfect, and they really are just what i was looking for. i wish they were a bit more comfortable, but i am hoping that they will soften up and be perfect. i would wear them every day, but for the comfort issue. i received numerous compliments when i wore them, but during one long wearing, they were actually killing me, and i couldn't wait to take them off. i did better when i only wore them for a few hours, and did not do a lot of walking.
ok - it is now a lot later and i have worn these boots countless times, they did break in and are really comfortable now. i am waiting for them to go on sale so i can get another color.
