I absolutely love these boots. Don't be intimidated by the material, I was surprised myself to find that the patent is much more comfortable than it looks up front. It can be slightly stiff around the ankle, but as they're broken in more that isn't an issue. Repetitive use and bending can cause wear but that's to be expected, just treat them well. They do smudge decently easy but I've never had an issue cleaning anything.

The color is also great! I was nervous the red might not be the same shade as in the product photos, but I'd say it's pretty much accurate. Definitely makes a statement!

Nice

Very sturdy and comfortable boots, only thing is if you have a larger calf you need to get longer laces as there’s not a whole lot of extra lace length after adjusting to fit your leg.
