These boots are stylish, of course, but they've also aged well over the first couple months. I was concerned that water or scuffs would junk them up sooner than I wanted, but the beeswax finish has held up nicely. After the first couple days of breaking them in--literally, only two days--they now feel like old friends.

Sizing: I followed the recommendations of others here and bought a full size down--glad I did!
