I love the fitting and the color.  The insole and heel are taught and perfectly designed; I don't feel any pinching or sliding and they might be comfortable for me to wear around as long as I'm not doing a lot of walking.  I also like the heel height. It's enough to give the boot some style and not so much that it's impractical.

I don't like the leather they used for the shaft.  It's very flimsy and scratches easily.  I don't know if it'll weather nicely and it doesn't look any different than my boots made of imitation leather.  I was hoping at $100 some dollars these boots would be a bargain, since a pair of Ariat's or Frye's are just out of my price range at the moment.  I guess for a brand like Steve Madden I'm a little disappointed.

I'm not sure if I'll be keeping them, might wear them around the apartment for a few more days before I make my decision.
