These boots just arrived yesterday and I LOVE them! I bought them in gaucho distressed and the color was really nice, but after applying Dr. Marten's Wonder Balsam to waterproof them, they turned a beautiful distressed chocolatey brown color. Unfortunately, they are about a half size too big in my usual size (10), but none were available on amazon in the next size down, so I decided to keep these and work with em. I'm going to add heel inserts and double up on my socks so that they'll fit better. May even add an insert, but the soles are so comfortable and padded I don't think I'll need to!
