I wear these boots to work where we are required to dress business casual.  The boots are comfortable while adding a little style to simple outfits.  They are very brught red with some burnishing on them which I think gives them character.  My only complaint is that they make my feet/ankles sweat more than I would like while I am wearing them.  I think the materials do not allow my feet to breathe enough to have given five stars, otherwise, I love the boots.
