"Love, love, love these boots! They are extremely comfortable - they fit a little large but you want that in a boot so you can wear thicker socks when the weather turns cold. These boots do not look like imitation leather - they look better than some of my "real" leather boots! I originally purchased them for a Halloween costume and quickly discovered I could stand for hours without my feet hurting - I have since worn them all day without fatigue! I just wish I had purchased the brown as well as the black because now they are sold out!"
