"I wanted to love these boots....and online, I did. When they arrived the first thing I noticed upon opening the box was the strong smell. But, what bothered me more was that the boots were folded in half in the box. Not ok. I tried them on anyway and they looked ridiculous from the front and did not sit straight up. The side view looked ok.
These boots will be going back ASAP.
Riding style boots should never be folded in half."
