Was so excited for these boots to arrive. I already own a pair in olive and thought black would be a great addition. Much to my dismay, I'm quite sure these boots are fake. The quality just isn't the same as my other pair (which came from a high end department store and are 100% real), and the tie at the top is fabric, when it should be leather. Returning them immediately and never ordering designer goods from Amazon again. Buyer beware.
