I ended up returning this boot.  I noticed on the right boot the little loop where the laces go under was torn.  I could also see some glue where the rubber toe part met the leather.  I guess you get what you pay for.  I wear a size 10 and the boot seemed too big & looked clunky on me.  The leather is nice and I did like that it had a zipper as well as laces.  I really wanted to like this boot, but ended up not being for me.
