I was delighted when I received these boots.  I love the rugged look and the softness of the leather.  The leather is very thin and pliable.  They fit perfectly and are very comfortable, especially after I put an insole in the boot.  I wore them all day on the day I received them and my feet were very happy.  My one complaint is that by the end of the day the cap toe (on both boots) was marred to the point that I had to use shoe polish to cover that area.  The color had almost all come off!  It appears that the original color was a light tan and had been covered with a darker color of shoe polish to match the rest of the boot.  It looks like the toe cap will have to be polished after each wear.  I ordered these boots in chili, which is a dark brown.  I have seen these boots available for $200, but that price is way over what it should be because the color problem diminishes the quality.  Luckily, Amazon had these on a reduced price, and the style and the comfort make it a keeper for me.
