The Perks: These boots are really lovely, super stylish and edgy. They feel really high quality, with heavy thick faux leather that softens nicely. Once I re-laced them they fit perfectly. This is the most reasonably priced tall combat boot I had found after scouring pretty widely. They came quickly and well-packaged.
The Downsides: I read many reviews that said size up, and they were absolutely correct -- I am a US Women's 10 everywhere and an 11 fit perfectly. And be aware if you have wide feet: I've never had to purchase a wide shoe before but I can feel on the sole my inner arches feel like they're hanging over the side a bit. It's not the most pleasant feeling, but bearable. I've worn them about 3-4 times now and they're still not quite broken in, so make sure you give them time to soften.
