These boots are fantastic. I was skeptical about buying at first because I'd never purchased Laredo boots before, however those worries were put to rest when I first put these on. The size was just right, the fit was good, they were comfortable and required no break in period. The color is nice too: matches everything yet doesn't call attention to itself. The snip toe is nice too. The only reason for giving this 4 stars is because the sole is not leather, but rather manmade, which makes me concerned about durability and that the heel had more of a slant than I wanted. Other than that, you can't go wrong.
