These are beautiful boots and the leather is soft and smells terrific! Do note... THEY ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE!!! I have narrow calves and rather skinny legs so I thought these would be perfect because they were stated to be adjustable... they're not. The straps are sewed around the buckles which just slide back and forth. So they're still a little loose around the opening, I was hoping for a fitted around the leg look but that's not gonna happen. On the other hand... they are beautiful boots and very high quality. They fit true to size and are very very comfortable. I wore them all night with moderate walking, straight out of the box and they were perfect. I would definitely recommend!
