I received both my black pair and the red paid and loved the color. I bought these because I wanted a pair of boots that I could wear around for fun. I read so many reviews how they were so comfortable and could wear them all day. Sad to say, I could not wear them a couple of minutes. I had to return both of these boots as they both fit the same way (at least they are consistent in the manufacturing process!). When I buy boots that are not laced on the top…my issue is typically with the top of my foot. I must have a high arch (not visible with my footprint) or sensitive top of foot?  These boots did not have that issue and I was VERY pleased for that working well in my favor.  However, I had a very distinctive hard rubbing spot on the back of my heels when I walked in them.  In addition, the other rub spot was over the top of my little toes. Almost as if the boots were crushing/squeezing just  that part of my foot.  I put them on with a pair of long socks I use with my other boot like shoes. I was not willing to keep them to see if I could get them to ‘wear in’. Now looking for another pair of cute colorful boots to wear when I am feeling country.
