"I always buy shoes & boots after trying them on in the store because I have slight arthritis in my left foot & must be sure of a comfortable fit. I couldn't find anything comfortable that I liked in the local store, so I took a chance & ordered these online. They arrived exactly as described: beautiful Brazilian leather, very attractive style. Inserted some Dr. Scholl's padded insoles after 1 wearing & they make the boots super comfortable. Have had several compliments already about how beautiful they are & they look smart with any outfit. Thank you DSW!"
