Beautiful boot, super comfy, perfect as usual.

So well made and comfy!!!!!!

The gold hardware, crocodile leather, thick laces -- these boots are definitely a statement piece that will attract compliments. The materials and construction feel very sturdy and the details make the shoe appear luxe. I just wish the shoe was more enjoyable to wear; the sole is hard and flat, the zipper is hard to pull, and the leather at the top of the shoe is cut/sewn in such a way that it's very sharp and cuts into the skin right where it hits above my ankle. I have heard other combat boots can take time to break in, so I am hoping that these boots become more comfortable with wear. For now, I must wear long socks and/or long pants to protect my ankles.

I love these and always get compliments on them. (Really, every time I wear them!) They are beautifully made. And how nice that they don't need to be laced because of the zipper. I might suggest going up a whole size, rather than a half, if your feet are even a little wide and/or if you want to have sock options. I went up a half size as suggested and often feel by the end of the day that these are just a hair more snug than I might like.

I received them today. Before I purchased I read the reviews and read to "size up".. I did (too big). I reordered. They run true to size. Fit beautifully but like any boot you have to break them in.

Word to the wise: Order off Neiman Marcus website and get $100.00 if you purchase before Nov 16 (I believe is the last day of the sale) - Good luck and enjoy!
