The leather quality on these boots is excellent. The 2" heel height is easy to walk in. The sole bends easily. They seem to run long. I wear an 8.5N shoe and these boots in 8.5M are too long. If I was interested in keeping a pair I would order them in 8M. They look like they could run narrow but they are not nearly narrow enough for a narrow width foot. I am returning them. They seem like great boots if they fit.
