I had high expectations in purchasing these boots, however there are several flaws not apparent in the way that these are presented.

The quality of manufacture is good, soles are well joined and the leather is soft and supple. The picture however gives the feel of a boot that would cover the ankle, in reality these are really half boots and come to mid ankle, which means that the edges wear across the ankle. Sizing is also an issue. I have now purchased 3 pairs of boots through Amazon. The first two pairs were purchased at size 10.5M and are a very comfortable fit wearing work socks. These however are very tight across the instep and I have to wear the thinnest socks possible to even be able to walk in the boots. Overall, very disappointing.
