I purchased this pair of desert boots in my continuing quest to "upgrade" my basic wardrobe. I have to say, I'm extremely pleased. They are extremely well-made: the suede is thick and doesn't feel or look cheap, and the crepe sole is high quality for, well, a crepe sole. I've had them for several months and rotated them through my daily shoe lineup, and the only sign of wear is the discoloration on the bottom (to be expected from walking around town).

The fit was a bit snug for my (admittedly slightly large) feet, but the suede expanded after only a few hours of wear and now they are the perfect fit. They look great, and I've gotten several compliments from family and even random strangers on how much they like my shoes.
