These boots may look nice, i had been wearing them for  about a week.  in this short time i found the following..
1. the way they are constructed inorder to tie the laces you have to blouse the lace through these triangle pieces of metal, but because of the design you cannot get them tight, and they loosen
2. once you have the boots on, be prepared to spend every 10 minuets bending down and fixing the tongue of the boots, they slip to the side almost instantly after putting them on.
3, the leather that is trimmed on the inside along the section where the laces are, just peeled off.
4. the sole inside the boot peeled off

i wore these for about a week, and they have been tossed into the trash.
