These turned out to be the Mona Lisa of cheaply made and appearing boots. The boots I received in no way resemble the boot pictured in the ad. The pictured boot appears to be a deep chestnut brown leather, well made and stylish. In reality however, the boots I received appear to hastily made out of almost a plastic-like substance with a chalky, light baby-poop brown coloration. As I opened my much-awaited package in front of a few friends, everyone had a good laugh at how shockingly terrible these boots appeared. As opposed to the sleek, svelte boot they've pictured in the ad, the boots I received are unwearable amongst the able-sighted public. After being very happy with several Aldo dress shoes over the years, I was horrified and truly disappointed at how low-grade, tacky and laughable this product turned out to be.
