These are excellent boots and good value for money.

They are made out of genuine good quality leather which is a little stiff out of the box, but season well. My boots broke in well after 2 -3 days of wear and are now soft and comfy. They scratch and scuff easily too - (fingernails will leave their marks!) and after a couple of weeks my boots are now sporting a cool distressed 'adventurer' look from all the scratches and scuffs changing the color of the leather. I wear them pretty much anywhere with jeans or kakis - they are a joy to walk in and make my feet feel good.

The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that the crepe sole turns black very quickly, so you are left with a gray scum on the soles of your boots. Once the crepe wears out, I will probably get them resoled with a non-crepe sole. Crepe is very comfortable and shock absorbent though.

For the price I paid, I am very satisfied with my purchase. Shame about the soles. Also note you should order 1/2 a size down as these tend to run large.
