I bought these boots about 4 months ago and recently decided to read some of the stuff other people said about them. I want to clear something up that ive read in some comments on the boots. These boots are fairly thick leather and have a long break in period if they hurt your feet thats just how its going to be for a little while the only advice i have to offer people with that problem is bet better insoles and you can ride out the stiffness and then realize these are very well priced. Only complaint is the massive price increase for large sizes i wear a 14 US or aka the 13 UK and paid 150 were someone with like a 9 US paid 80 when I bought them a while back. Notice in the picture all the creases those don't happen overnight so again just ride it out
