I have been looking at boots and my biggest complaint is how thin and low quality the fashion boots are. I took a chance and ordered these Amazon and am pleasantly surprised. The leather is firm but not overly stiff. These are fairly comfortable out of the box. If you want a good looking, casual and edgy boot...or if you actually want to ride a motorcycle ....this is a great boot.

I am giving this boot five stars because based on price and description, they fit the bill. I ordered these in my normal running shoe size - 8.5. The foot fits perfectly. I will say that I have wide feet and these fit my foot so well, you'd think I ordered wide width. So keep that in mind. The shaft is liberal in the ankle and such, probably because gals with thinner legs can opt to tuck their pants in. I, however, have very muscular calves. I knew the shaft would be too narrow at the very top and I need an extra inch or so. It's not the boots that are the problem...and for not being a wide shaft boot, I'm kind of surprised I can pull these on. I can wear them with pants, but my husband does a bit of leather work and he is going to make another split on the inside of the boot so I cam get the extra inch or so. I feel it would still be worth it to keep them.

I've been wearing these for about a half hour inside and I feel them easily stretching a bit so breaking them in will be easy. I'm really happy with.this purchase. I knew it would be tough to find cool motorcycle boots to fit my calves, but this is pretty darn close with real leather and functionality without being too heavy.
