These boots have a great look. They're like modern riding boots that are more form fitting around the feet and calves. They were tight around my calves at first, but after wearing them around a couple days, they stretched out nicely. I've already received a couple compliments on them. My only issues with the boots are that the leather scratches easily and they feel a little "thin." But leather conditioner and thick socks will definitely do the trick to fix. True to size.
