I was skeptical about these boots before I bought them but now I am so glad I got them!! I've had Rampage shoes in the past and they were all of terrible quality and were quickly returned. I've been wanting a riding boot just to see if the style would look good on me and I found these here on Amazon for a steal. I've never owned a pair of riding boots before. These are sooooooo cute! The're synthetic but thick and of good quality. Rubber bottoms so lots of traction, no worrying about slipping in the rain (I'm from Seattle LOL). The color brown is a perfect tone of brown. The calf is a little big on me but that is to be expected because I have skinny legs so I have this problem with boots all of the time. Overall these are definitely 5 stars!!! Buy them you won't be sorry.
