"Let me start this by saying that I have a calf that is a little on the larger (athletic) side, a very high arch, and a wide foot. I had tried on an unbelievable amount of boots and had never found any that worked for one reason or another. These boots fit perfectly! The toe box is wide, so my feet weren't pinched at all, the leather is very high quality--actually looks and smells like real leather and not like plastic, and the color is beautiful! They do tend to lean toward a western style with the pointed toe, but I love them! I wore them for a few days in a row where I was on my feet quite a bit each day. By the end of the last day in any other shoe (except my tennis shoes), my feet would have been killing me! But after wearing these boots, my feet still felt great! No pain at all--didn't feel like I had been on my feet for the past 3 days. I would highly recommend these boots--they are more comfortable than any pair of shoes I own, they are incredibly high quality leather, and the price is unbeatable for what you get! I wish DSW sold them in other colors!"
