I Love Miz Mooz Boots..This is my Third and forth pair and they just look to tough!!!!!...The leather is very soft and will get even softer with wear...They do run a bit small especially if you want to wear socks or put padding in the boot ...The bottoms on this style are hard and may require padding...The boot is somewhat narrow so size up..The toe area is structured (hard) ..But they look like a million dollars and are not terribly uncomfortable...I like this boot and style very much...Bought them in grey but it looks black to me...They have plenty of room for skinny jeans.... The Cognac color caught me by surprise...The Brown is a faded funky medium brown ...They look really good in either color but the Cognac have a faded used look to them...I love both colors.****UPDATE****  found out  two really cool things...The buckle strap is removable. Can be worn on any pair of boots!!!  AND the top has wire in it and can be molded to what ever shape you want!  BUT the toe area is a bit tight.... love this style!!!!
