"I got these a year ago and they are still my #1 go-to for riding boots! The leather is silky smooth, excellent quality. I personally love the lace-up back detail because it helps you adjust the calf width to exactly what you want while still looking sexy. I also love that the front is smooth and classy and the back has a unique surprise! Because they are real leather and will stretch with use, I'd recommend getting a half-size smaller than usual. I'm normally a 7-7.5 and I took a chance on the 6.5 because it was the last size left and they stretched to fit my feet perfectly. They are extremely comfy- I've gone all day wearing them with no complaints. The only problem I had was that the bottom part of one of the heels came off while I was walking, so I had to get that repaired. I would highly recommend these boots!!!!"
