I was so excited to try these boots!  They were very stiff and rubbed around the top edges and on my ankle.  The bottom didn't have support or comfort that I was looking for.  The outside of the boot instantly starts creasing and marking - it gives character, but it changes a lot it seemed.  If there was flexibility to the sole or any part of the boot I would've been happy, but it was just so stiff in every way and also not a comfy or supportive foot bed.  They felt very constrictive and small, even though they were the right length, my toes were being pushed down on and I have narrow feet.  I guess not for me.  But they did look nice.
