UPDATE: Holds up to extreme situations
==UPDATE (1 YEAR)==I just wanted to mention that someone I knew got into a car accident and I had to go out there to check up on them and the car since I was closest. The area where we were was largely dirt...and with all the continuous rain days prior and up to that point we had tons of slippery mud, deep above-ankle puddles, and oil from the car in some parts. I chose to put on these boots because of the terrain. Any other shoe I had would get ruined. These boots held up extremely well and did not leak when submerged in some of those puddles. I was able to navigate the extreme mud without slippage and all in all be fine. And to this day I am still using this boots. This was another reason I was glad to not have a "big brand" attached to my boots and the affordability...I would have had 2nd thoughts using these otherwise. The only other thing to mention is that over the months some of the inner lining has cracked, but nothing major...and the outside hasn't suffered much blemish at all. Because of the aforementioned situation, I will be ordering a 2nd pair soon.First off, the basics...these boots fit perfectly. My normal shoes (rubber shoes, dress shoes, etc.) run at a size 9. Having heard that cowboy boots run on a different sizing system, I wasn't sure what to order. But I went ahead and ordered the 9's (just like my normal shoes). And they were perfect. I didn't even need to add additional insoles like I do for my other pair. When paired with a good pair of boot-cut socks (my personal favorites being being the dickies work socks with copper infusion), these become one of the most comfortable pairs one can have. I've worn them for hours on end and the boots have kept very well and haven't led to any "fatigue". Like any other boots (and footwear in general) they will need to be broken in. Putting them on and taking them off the first time was a little difficult. But the subsequent times they have become really easy to manipulate...while not losing the snug fit I like from them. The distressed color also did come a little darker than pictured...but I preferred it that way since it makes it look less flashy and tacky, and more "normal" and "day to day". I also appreciate that the embellishments on it are not too blatant and gaudy while still being ornate. As you can tell, I like sleek, but nothing that is flamboyant. Finally, I actually appreciate that it is a "no brand" pair of boots. I don't feel like a walking billboard that way. But anyways, good boots, decent construction, more than fair price, excellent fit, and one completely satisfied customer.

Great for the Price
Keep in mind as you read that these were my first-ever pair of boots...which is why I’ve waited so long (> 1 year) to review them. I bought these last spring, figuring they’d be a good entry-pair of boots. I was not wrong. These have gone through a fair amount of abuse, including a 6-week trip to an Alaskan Summer Camp, lawncare, brush clearing, hiking, and more. I’ll I’ve used for maintenance is a cloth, brush, and the Kiwi saddle soap and conditioner. As the pics show, they’ve stayed in pretty excellent condition. (I haven’t done a proper cleaning in a few months.) Soles haven’t worn out, and I just recently got Scholl’s inserts. Also, I normally wear 12EE; these are 11.5EE. Super comfy.The reason why 4/5 stars is mainly because I don’t necessarily like giving 5/5 to just anything. Also, the lining is man-made...yes, I know that’s what you should expect for this price range. However, it does start to split almost right away (as you can see in pic). This leads to a little extra wear on your socks, but get extra thick anyway and you’ll be fine. Haven’t worn any holes yet, just lots of pills. Still, this is a bit aggravating and seems like a normal thing to avoid in shoemaking.Overall, I am and have been a very happy customer. They’re very durable, and, given a good cleaning, look presentable enough for a formal event. A nice, well-rounded pair of boots that definitely fit the “everyday-wear” category.

4 Years of Wear Updated Review: Great Looking, Durable and Great Value
UPDATED after 4 YEARS of WEAR: These boots are awesome. First some specs, I wear 10.5 in street shoes and the 11DM fits me perfectly; I use Sof Sole Men's Arch Full Length Comfort High Arch Shoe Insole (found on Amazon) cut to shape of boot; I wear tube socks because the top of the boot is higher than most socks and will chafe your leg; I wear these with business suits; and, finally, I have worn these every other day (I alternate with a brown boot) for the past 4 years. I had to replace the heel once in that time but never the rubber sole.I love these boots. They look great paired with the suit, I get a lot of compliments and they are super comfortable. They are relatively durable, I am updating this review because after 4 years of almost constant wear, a lot of walking, including on construction sites, a small tear finally opened on the side of the boot and I have come straight back to this listing to replace them. They are the same price as 4 years ago (nice) and given the price and wear, I think they are a great value. They have just the right amount of point to the toe and the scroll pattern is subtle, so I can easily wear them with business suits and most people compliment when they notice them.I specifically wanted a boot with a rubber sole, I know there are tons of other much higher quality leather boots out there expected to last a lifetime but that was not what I am looking for here. I wear these things hard and they have served me well. Also, and this is my fault, for the first few years I did not maintain them as well as I should and I consider any premature wear to be due to that fact. When I switched from wingtips at work to cowboy boots I did not continue the same weekly maintenance regime that I had with my leather dress shoes. The finish on these boots was so good that it was only after a few years of use that it dulled to the point where I went back to regular oiling/waxing, etc.All told, these were my "gateway" boots and I am now a diehard cowboy boot wearer. They are comfortable, hug the foot just enough, provide solid traction with the rubber sole (though not in snow and also not made for that so not a demerit) and overall I am very pleased with them.

Great boots.
Nice boots after I found them out under a pickup box covered with snow by no fault of the maker, a poor UPS delivery, boots are well made and packaged nicely. Would buy again from this maker. Shipping was fast.
