These boots are so cheaply made, and that is evident in every aspect of the boot. The shaft is much brighter silver than shown, which makes them almost overwhelming with the glitter. The material is not &#34;faux leather&#34; it is plastic, thin, and cheap. The glitter has no sealant over it, I assume the glitter will rub off within a few wears and these will not look good for very long. Over all I am disappointed in this brand and how cheaply made their products are. For 70-100 bucks you can buy Justins or Ariats, real leather and they will last forever,
