These make me feel Kick-A. I have had them for a couple months, worn them more often then not and have not experienced the scuffing or fading of color as per the previous reviews. I took a chance and these are now my everyday shoes. They are so so so comfortable. I didn't have to "break them in" like a pair of stiff docs and I can wear them with anything because in my opinion they are...more...grown-up boots if you will, and won't make you feel silly with an overload of chrome studs and chains and ten thousand straps. They slip right on and are comfortable with leg warmers or ankle socks. These boots are whatever you need them to be.
