I am OK with the boots, they are nice, however, I have only worn them twice, the dye is not only flaking off in the creases, which would be expected, & in need of braking in, but the dye is staining anything it comes into contact with, including my  skin, as well as bleeding, when washing my hands, a few drops of water got on them & the area where it came into contact with the boots, the dye bled now has a discolored look to it.. not happy bout that at all.. its sad cause i really like these boots & everythigng they are.. but the quality of the dye is very poor & poorly done.. might return them.. :(
