The inside of this boot is very comfortable, but the leather looked and felt cheap. The boot looked like it was made out of synthetic leather because the leather had an artificial shine to it that wasn't quite the shine level of patent leather. The leather was also stiff and not soft like I had hoped it would be. The sole of the boot is made out of rubber which I assume would be good in slippery conditions. I liked the style and the comfort, but unfortunately, for the price, these boots weren't worth it because of how cheap they looked. I ended up returning them and buying another pair instead.
