I was so happy when I found these ankle boots.  These are the same quality that I remember Bass being when I was younger.  It was refreshing to me to know this because they've always been known for quality.  The boot is prettier in person than online.  The color is a much nicer shade of tan and there's no scuffing....or at least what it looked like to me in the photo.  The boots do start off a bit stiff, but as I wore them, they soften right up.  They're easy to lace and put on/off.  The only thing that I would like is a little more padding on the insole.  Other than that one thing, they're perfect for me!!
