Like most reviewers, I bought these because the of the price.  Leather boots for under $100 -- count me in!  I was a little put off when I first tried to get them on and the stirrup piece wouldn't cooperate, but I got the hang of it (unsnap the stirrup, and pull up the boot).  By the third time I'd worm them, I didn't need to do that anymore, my foot slipped in.
Granted, these are not the best quality leather, but I used a little polish to spruce them up.  I have a pair of black Fryes I love, but I wanted something a little different for brown and these fit the bill.
