These boots were the 5th pair I have ordered, and happy to say I kept these but sent others back.  I'm glad though, to have had others to compare these with to really appreciate how nice these boots are.  I agree wholeheartedly with 2 of the positive reviews of this boot.  The fit is excellent, no sloppy feel.  The footbed is very comfortable for a lot of walking.  The look is classic.  I was beginning to think that I was not going to find a boot like this and have to settle for something so-so.  Needless to say I am happy to have found these, expecially for the price I got them. I noticed the price went way up after I received mine. I'm sure I would never have ordered these at the current price, not because they're not worth it, but just out of my range.  I also want to comment on the bottom of the boot.  I see no problem with slipping, and I am aware of how annoying that can be with some dress shoes.`I'm pretty sure these boots will last me a very long time.
