Good price, great boot.
Bought these boots after reading reviews of Dan Post, Nocona, Justin, and Chippewa boots. I wanted an every day work boot that would protect me in the woods and pastures, and that would last for as long as I could wear them out. I wanted protection from snakes (copperheads, mostly), something I could pull on and off without a lot of work, and comfort in temperatures from freezing to over 100 degrees.I am very glad I bought these Dan Post boots. They fit perfectly, right on size, right out of the box. They were comfortable without needing a break in period. I wore them every day for 2 weeks as soon as I got them, working clearing pastures from woods and they were exactly what I hoped for. Now I wear them to work in several times a week, and they are great for all I do.The workmanship is excellent, they look very good, they fit comfortably, and they stand up to use. We'll see how they do over time, but I can say without reservation that I would buy these boots again, as my first choice.Update Dec 2020, 4 and 1/2 years later. Well , these boots gave out after a few years. Honestly, I can't blame the boot--I got them wet, I stomped out a bunch of wood pile fires with them and I was not very careful with them. They were farm boots, pasture boots, and barn boots. Still they lasted at least 3 1/2 years without a problem. Oh no, that's not true. The rubber pad on the heel of one boot came off and I had to nail it back on with a tack hammer. Kind of felt like the cobbler elves in "The Elves and the Shoemaker"! But, finally, the sole separated from the leather and I have big holes in the side of the boots. No elf can fix that.I guess I could blame that on the boot or the maker, but in fact, it is my fault. I am very very very hard on boots, and these held up about 2 years longer than I expected. I burned them, wet them, flooded them and abused them and they are just still the coolest boot ever made. They look MARVELOUS! Every time I wear them (even with the secret holes in the side) I get compliments. When I pull them on, I FEEL like a cowboy, even if I'm just a farmer slogging thru the back pastures.I will ABOLUTELY buy another pair, if my people don't buy one for me. I do have them in my wish list, hint, hint.If you want the truth, I love these boots, I'll certainly buy another pair, and I do notice you looking at me when I walk past while wearing them.

Great pair of boots!!
I have never had a better pair of boots than these Dan Post boots. The leather is top notch as are the soles, heels and finish. These look so good you might be afraid to wear them just looking at them you can tell the quality that goes into making them. I have worn many pairs of boots over the years and I can honestly say you won’t do better than Dan Post boots. They are a great value at most any normal price. Put these on and as soon as you place your foot firmly into the boot and stand up you will instantly know you have made a great decision buying these. They are true to size and look great! Never hesitate buying them they will not disappoint you!

Will they fit?
I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to keep these boots. I have large calves about 16¼-inch, normally wear a size 8½ in Anne Klein, Madden Girl, and Liz Claiborne shoes as well as Bare Traps boots, and wear a size 9 in Steve Maddens and Audrey Brooke pumps. My last leather boots purchased from DSW were beautiful, but the glued soles did not last and couldn’t be fixed by our local shoemaker. I wanted my next pair to be all leather including the soles.Fondly remembered the quality and fit of my old Dan Post boots from the 1980s, I decided to give the Santa Rosa boots a try. Amazon listed them as a “free return” product, so what did I have to lose?The first time on, the boot was perfect in the foot but extremely tight in the calf. I researched many boot sites and one in particular said something about leather boots being able to be stretched. I conditioned the leather AND weatherproofed them prior to wearing them. After four days of wearing the boots, my Santa Rosa boots are very comfortable all over including in the calf. I’m not sure how they will feel if I try to wear them jeans tucked into boots, but under jeans with trouser socks, I wear them all day long from the moment I get up until the moment I go to sleep. My feet are warm, dry, and happy!The quality of the boot is what I expected from Dan Post Boots, beautifully stitched detail, great color (Tan), all leather, though I had to look up the term “Mad Cat” i.e. goat. Thinner than my old suede, they fit like a glove. I am THRILLED that I took the chance and kept the boots, and I already have my second pair of Dan Post Boots on my wish list for Santa!

poor quality control
The first time we ordered these boots one of them had a little bubble on the inside that you pressed down with your foot, and also a slight flaw in the leather. Not too bad. We decided to order a second pair and keep whichever one was better. However, when the second shipment arrived, the box didn't even say the correct boot, but it was the correct color (black cherry) just a different model. Worse, when opening the box, we found a pair of VERY used brown boots. It looks like someone else scammed the company by returning used boots, and the company didn't check the product before repackaging and sending to us. Good grief.
